I really enjoyed this book. Lisa Jackson is superb at this type of romantic suspense and this is one of her best, in my opinion. The characters are well developed and the story had me interested from the first page.

This is a remake of a book by Lisa called WISHES. It's about a gal who is given a young son by an attorney she no longer works for, when she's in the middle of moving out of the area.

It was good the first time, and quite a bit shorter. Now it's up to 500 pages, so I don't feel like reading it again.

I HATE buying a book only to find out it's a "re-write" -- HOWEVER, Lisa Jackson has an opening page at the front of the book CLEARLY explaining that -- I was able to make my own decision whether to read it or not, knowing the situation. Clearly updated and longer than the original, it's not a bad effort!

Jackson is good at this type of romantic suspense. Kate Summers lost her family in a drunken accident - desperate to try again, she adopts a newborn under "sketchy circumstances". Years later, as so often in life, her actions catch up to her and her now teenage son.

Simply an entertaining read for a quiet night or two. Perhaps not her best, but still worthwhile if you enjoy the genre.

This book was good, but not Lisa Jackson's best. The story was interesting, kept the reader involved, but was not as suspenseful or intense as some of her other works.
