“Good read even for a male who does not regularly read romance. Keeps you engaged until the end!”

*****
“This is the very best book I have read in a long time. I am not the typical reader of romance novels and tend to avoid such. The author dispelled my hesitancy to read romance novels by successfully pulling me into the storyline and hooking me from the first page to the last. Most often, I am typically able to predict story lines and endings, however, not in this case. How refreshing! I was actually sad for the story to end, but excited about the next book, which is a perfect ending for a well-written novel.”

“Quite the story. Two people from Seattle are thrown together over a thousand miles away in Colorado. Each of them grieving the loss of a loved one. In Seattle a disgruntled employee and unhappy husband with a split personality has decided THEY need to pay. Grief, trauma, mystery, happiness, love, and self-reflection show up a lot in this story. I enjoyed how each life and person intertwined with the others. A very good story.”

*****
“The mystery and suspense side was part of the reason I picked this one up, and offered a unique and interesting read, but I was surprised to find the romance and day-to-day scenes actually ended up winning me over! While this starts out as a fun read, as events unfold, I grew to love these characters, and loved seeing their story play out.”

“The characterization of the main characters is excellent—each person is unique and well-fleshed out. A lot of work has also been given to the supporting characters.
What impresses me the most is the story’s main antagonist. He’s a conflicted person with a lot of depth. He’s not the typical villain and this is refreshing. There are also plenty of unexpected twists in this story.
Overall, this novel is smoothly written, with a nice amount of descriptive ‘gems.’ I enjoyed reading it and I think other fans of suspense and romance will like it too.”

“Held my attention throughout.”

“The story is intricate, with numerous characters, the side characters of Carl, the ever-watchful chauffeur, and the housekeeper, Sarah, being my favorites. The descriptions were good, and the plot, although complex, was well thought out. I felt an abundance of synchronicity, which in my mind was guided by Christina, Robert’s dead wife. I would recommend it to readers of murder, crime, or romance novels.”

I really like this story. The author is very good at painting pictures with words. The descriptive language sets the mood. I also like the main characters and the buildup of the story. There are no loose ends, except for the surprise at the end of the story. Otherwise, the content is summarized in a good way, letting the reader know what happened and what will happen to the characters.
The descriptive language made me envision the places where the story is happening. I have never been to a house like the one Robert lives in, but I could envision the house and the area, and I could also envision the people from the descriptions.
I would like to thank Donna for letting me read this story before it was published. I really enjoyed it. She manages to build up the excitement and add a lot of surprises on the way. I found no inconsistencies in the story.
The story is good, and I didn’t skip any parts of the book (which I do if I get bored with a book.) And I love the fact that I couldn’t predict the end. The last-minute twist came as a total surprise!

Robert is depressed. Having lost his wife and almost his 6 year old daughter, he sets out to end his life by going in the rough waters of a river. Hoping to be dragged under in the storm.
But up ahead he sees something. Something that looks like a girl. In a last ditch effort he attempts to rescue her. But because of the current and temperature, the water is violent and deadly.
Bur no one knows what happened to Lilly in the water or what happened to take her to the river.
Now because of who Robert is- he designs and builds jets and planes intended for military use- the media is involved.
His quick thinking is heroic in the eyes of the press and world.
Little do they know that he was out in that river to end his own life.
Will the two of them form a bond? Will the man who was going to murder Robert succeed?
Or will Lilly die from the wound in her side, sepsis?
Only one way to find out …
Definitely recommend!
