Overall: 4 stars
Narration: 3 stars
Story: 5 stars
I enjoyed the performer's third person narrative and main male character. However, the other voices, particularly the female voices, were quite annoying to me.
The story is exceptional whether in print or audio. In fact, it would make for an outstanding movie in the right hands.

4 ½ Stars – one of my favorites of the Summer!
Boyd McBride has come to the small town of Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada looking for answers in his identical twin brother Josh’s death. How can a healthy thirty-five year old man just die of cardiac arrest? Boyd expects to find the answers to his questions; but what he doesn’t expect is to find is a woman who steals his heart.
Boyd is a detective and a good one. He is rather closed off emotionally and is quick to judge situations. His first impressions of Hayden were not flattering. Hayden is a doctor and working on the last months of her residency. She is focused on helping others and seems rather oblivious to her own good looks. They share an instant connection due to each of them being close with Josh; but they also had an immediate attraction to each other and a chemistry they fought hard. I enjoyed the rather purposeful slow progression of their romance. It seemed natural. The sexy scenes were well placed (no sexy scenes as killers are searching the house) and just the right amount steam – but be warned you might not want to read the scenes in a public place – such as on lunch break in the lunchroom or on a plane.
The plot was wonderful and well thought out – not just written but well crafted. Words and situations were not just quickly thrown together; you can definitely sense that Norah Wilson took time to choose the most appropriate situation and words to create each scene. Boyd was Josh’s identical twin and in the first scenes in the book there was obvious attention to the detail of what it would be like for an identical twin to investigate his brother’s death. Romantic suspense is one of my favorite genres, this one is fantastic with a small amount of mystery too – readers will be guessing to the end on what was the cause of Josh’s death and why. The epilogue was satisfying and actually brought a tear to my eye.
This is not the first Norah Wilson book I have read, but after reading Fatal Hearts I am now putting her “Serve and Protect” series on my TBR pile. After a little digging I discovered many of her characters of that series made cameos in this book and Ray Morgan of Saving Grace playing a major role in this book. I now want to go and read all of their stories. I also hope this is a sign that there is more Boyd McBride to be seen in future books set in Fredericton.
Norah Wilson created another fantastic read. She goes on my list of go to Romantic Suspense authors. One of the best I have read this summer and this year!
I received this book from the author for my honest review.
