Although this sexy suspense story is just seventy-eight pages long, McKenzie adds enough depth to each character to allow you to get know them in a short amount of time. Some authors aren’t able to develop characters so quickly, but this author does. She fills us in on their history and we sense that it might just get in the way of them having a permanent relationship. It definitely keeps you in suspense.

These are two characters who have painful pasts, and I feel the author presented them in such a natural way that you really feel they are real people. Plus, after all they’d gone through, you just want them to be happy. I think this story could have been longer, maybe drawing out their “getting to know you” phase to add to the suspense about when these two would get together. Also, it would have allowed the author to develop some of the secondary characters who also seemed interesting but, because of its length, we really didn’t get to know them. If you like a quick read, this is probably a good pick for you.
