This is the first book I have read by Julie Garwood. Excellent plot, with good, believable characters. An FBI typist, Avery, joins up with a renegade covert operations guy, and together they track a killer who has kidnapped three women, one of whom is the woman's aunt. I plan to read more books by this author.

Thoroughly enjoyed this, as I do all of Garwood's books. This was a good one. It held my interest and was hard to put down. Read in two days as I just *had* to know what happened!

Avery Delaney had a tough childhood. As an infant, her mother abandoned her. Then when the grandmother who took care of her died violently, Avery was shot and nearly died. Now an adult, Avery has planned to meet up with her aunt in Colorado for a spa vacation. But when she arrives, she learns that her aunt has cancelled. Knowing her Aunt Carrie would have contacted her, Avery suspects something is wrong.

John Paul Renard is at the same spa. He has been searching for a contract killer named Monk and has learned that he is working in the area. When John Paul realizes that Avery's aunt is missing, he believes she may be Monk's next victim. Avery and John Paul decide to work together. A phone call from Monk's partner makes them sure they're on the right track. Carrie and two other women were kidnapped and are being held in a remote location. Now it's up to John Paul and Avery to find Carrie and the other women.

This is a solid romantic suspense with a good plot. I enjoyed the search for the women, but thought the romance between John Paul and Avery was just OK. My rating: 4 Stars.

A little slow to start but as always action packed and the good guys win out...a loose end, I think, that may have been better resolved.

"Her razor-sharp mind and ability to decipher evidence have made Avery Delaney an expert crime analyst for the FBI. Now she will have to use every one of her skills on a case that hits painfully close to home." (From the book jacket). I always enjoy Garwoods writing and this book was no exception.
