A journalist researching a murder trial falls for the victim's widow. He's complicated, troubled but he cares very deeply. She's gentle but tough, with a fierce protectiveness for her sons. The romance is a delicious, sensual slow burn, with an emotional intensity that is weaved perfectly into the overall story. They don't want to have feelings for each other but they couldn't help themselves.
I loved the kisses, the yearning and the moment they completely give in. There's something about their romance that just works for me, and I loved his relationship with her sons. The suspense had me whirling, irredeemable villain and unexpected twists all the way! And the epilogue is lovely! 🙌🏻
