I liked this one. I've read a number of Nora Roberts' romance and fantasy romance series, but this is the first thriller of hers I've read. I'd say this one reads much more like a romance with a few thriller elements than a true thriller, but I enjoyed it anyway. The thriller wasn't boring, but it didn't hold my attention - there wasn't anything unique about it really. I liked the romance story of a woman finding a new way forward after an incredible tragedy that she blames herself for.
I always find that Roberts' characters all sound the same, and that holds true here as well. I still ended up liking the characters - both the FMC & MMC as well as the grandma, who was my favorite.
A huge thank you to the author and the publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.

If you like Nora Roberts writing, it's a 5 star book from her. If you are expecting something more than a Nora Roberts book, you will be disappointed.

Tagged for sexual content on page (brief) BUT there is no sexual violence/assault in this book! Which was quite refreshing for the genre franklykelleyedwards_96's review against another edition
