This is a little darker than most Nora Roberts books. It's supposed to be romantic suspense and I guess it is but boy was it brutal.
A serial killer is running rampant in Innocence, Mississippi. Killing young women who have been intimate with Tucker Longstreet, who is a bit of a ladies man...well maybe more than a bit. When Caroline Waverly moves to town, Tucker is smitten, which is nothing new for him. However, Caroline is just getting over a breakup and doesn't want to even think about men. The book focuses more on the doings of the townspeople than on Caroline and Tucker but he romances her in a kind of courtly way. There's some flame between them but he basically just wears Caroline down with his persistence.
The mystery is interesting and there are many possible suspects so you're kept guessing. Burns, the FBI guy, is a real prick to Tucker and his family and hasn't a clue who the culprit really is.
I liked this book but it wasn't what I was expecting so the brutal nature of the killings came as a surprise.
