Ms. Kane once again used wonderful words that showed me what a slimy worm the guy is and reinforced and justified the heroine’s decision to flee.

On top of that, I was introduced to a secondary character that sounded quite interesting. Just when I thought things couldn’t get better, they do. Sure, they got worse first but that provided some attention grabbing action and drama – enough to keep this reader entertained and committed to wanting Gregory and Danika to survive and get their happily ever after.
