3.5 stars rounded up for GR

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.

This is what I would call a standard Modern-Era Nora Roberts standalone. There's a killer, a woman trying to find herself, and a gruff dude. There's found family, impeccable food descriptions, lush settings and gardens. The plot does get repetitive and drag towards the back third--we really don't need to spend so much time with such a rote killer--but overall, a satisfying summer read and a high-quality audiobook presentation.
