Whenever I read a book by Barbara Freethy, I know I’m in good hands. She is rock solid on every level, every time, and every story she writes feels fresh. She is one of my all time favorite authors, and this book was another terrific 10 out of 10.
I enjoyed the romantic and suspenseful plot between Alicia and Michael. They were both on a mission to find an old female friend of his who went missing. As they get closer to the truth, their lives are in danger. An unexpected villain is in their path, and a new clue about Alicia’s past concerning her father comes to light. She becomes curious, and it makes you wonder what really happened to her father who had also gone missing. An entertaining book about love, family
relationships, greed, and deception. Well worth a read.
