I adore a Nora Roberts contemporary, and with her focus on sort of supernatural tales lately, this was very refreshing. A bit darker than her normal fare, starting with a young girl stumbling upon her father's secret rape den and rescuing his current victim, I found the story compelling throughout.

What I especially loved about this story is that our two main leads don't get caught up in secrets and lies. Honesty rules the day, and it is exterior forces that threaten to break their happy bubble. Also, I was not expecting the identity of the killer at the end, so bravo.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC!
