Blurb: But her plans for a new—and quiet—life are quickly derailed when she makes a grisly discovery in the woods, and her screams bring the one person from her past she’d hoped to avoid. Dean Slater, the ex-boyfriend who broke her heart in high school, now lives in the beachfront community that was supposed to be her haven…and he’s just as hot as he was six years ago. With his rough background, Dean always knew he wasn’t good enough for the kind, intelligent beauty who claimed his heart, but somehow he’d believed their love was strong enough to survive anything—until the tragic night she turned her back on him when he needed her trust the most. Despite their painful history, Dean can’t resist the instinct to protect her, especially when it becomes apparent there’s a killer in their town. Their former chemistry soon reignites, but Malorie has long accepted that her dark family secret has destined her to a life alone. And when she uncovers evidence that makes her the killer’s target, a deadly confrontation threatens to destroy any possibility of a second chance.
Thoughts: I rarely read a book in one sitting anymore, especially one this long. It’s just too hard on my eyes. Then I pick up a book like this. Okay, I did take a break for meals and to sleep, but still… I just kept reading when I could. There is a lot going on in this book. Secrets from the past that haunt both the hero and heroine. Malorie has returned to the beachfront home owned by her father after six years in London. But the house is not the haven she was looking for. Instead, on her first day back, she finds a dead body in the woods and her screams bring the one person she had hoped never to see again. Dean, Malorie’s old boyfriend, comes running but he is not happy to see who screamed and why. The chemistry between the two of them is still there, but so many secrets keep them apart. And then there’s the killer. When Malorie discovers who it is, she knows she will be next.
There is a lot of conflict in this book. And hot love that will set you to fanning yourself. Beautifully done.
Recommendation: Recommended.
