I supposed I should go back and read more of Robert’s standalone romances. Even without the drama of the mystery in the story, I would have been satisfied reading how these characters manage to find one another and create the possibility of sharing a life together. Instead, the characters are so good, and I am interested in their lives. This book has complex characters and never seems to scream - I’m a powerful woman. I’ve been reading a lot of women’s fiction these days, and this book demonstrates what I find missing from those stories.
The man adds to her existence, but she has a pretty good life even without him. What she also does so well is create stories where the romance is essential to the story, and yet this is the story of a woman who has managed to build her own life with friends and family. Roberts does such a great job of building these towns with characters who are interesting in their own right and yet don’t overwhelm the story. I liked that the two of them had complete lives apart, but then their lives begin to overlap. Their story was very compelling, and their life as they grow together was engaging to me. I really loved Adrian and Raylan, who are both such caring people. OPINION: This was quite an enjoyable journey with these characters. Her stalker is escalating, however, and is taken with murdering women as he zeros in on Adrian. At the same time, Adrian is dealing with a stalker who has sent her threatening poems for years. Decades later, Adrian and Raylan are living in the same town and things seem to bring them together. Adrian enjoyed that summer and met her best friend - and her older brother, Raylan.
In the aftermath, her mother Lina brought her to her grandparents who live in a small town in Maryland. THE STORY: Adrian Rizzo met her father on the day he tried to kill her and her mother. Adrian is a great heroine, and Raylan is just adorable.
Martin's Press on May 25, 2021įINAL DECISION: The mystery wasn’t that strong for me, but I loved the relationship between these characters and the glimpse of these lives that we learn about. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from Netgalley in order to prepare an honest review.
