Coming off a bitter divorce, Anne Mason doesn't have time for a romance. But Michael Brandt just keeps popping up and doesn't want to take no for an answer. After Michael rescues Anne from a carjacker, Anne decides to move away from the city and live at the farm she has inherited. She's surprised to find her new neighbor is none other than Michael Brandt. When a body is found in Anne's cornfield, Anne and Michael begin to think the killer may be the same man who tried to carjack her. As mysterious things begin to happen at her farm, Michael decides Anne is in danger and he is the only person who can protect her.
This was a freebie ebook from Amazon. I'm amazed at all of the 5 Star reviews. When Michael Brandt saves Anne from a drunk who is trying to accost her, he turns up the next day as Anne's ex-husband's attorney, and then once again pops up at a convenience store in the middle of the night where Anne is doing her shopping, I was beginning to think Michael was stalking her. A few weeks later when she moves to a farm he turns up once again, this time as her new neighbor. I just rolled my eyes. Anne is a beautiful computer expert who wants a new start. She continually chants "I can take care of myself." even though we know she can't. And, I really wonder about her eyesight. Each time she runs into Michael, she doesn't recognize him right away. I thought that was a little strange.
The mystery itself is actually pretty good. There are no real surprises in it, but it is a solid story. The secondary characters are engaging. I know the second book in the series is about some of them. Since I like these characters better than Anne and Michael, I will continue the series. My rating: 2.5 Stars.
