And there, suddenly, from different points around the field, four other men were converging on the scene, running like me. There was the shout again, and a child’s cry, enfeebled by the wind that roared in the tall trees along the hedgerows. What idiocy, to be racing into this story and its labyrinths, sprinting away from our happiness among the fresh spring grasses by the oak. The transformation was absolute: I don’t recall dropping the corkscrew, or getting to my feet, or making a decision, or hearing the caution Clarissa called after me. We turned to look across the field and saw the danger. “This was the moment, this was the pinprick on the time map: I was stretching out my hand, and as the cool neck and the black foil touched my palm, we heard a man’s shout.

GeissingerIf you want to go in blind, then stop here. In fact, in trying to come up with one criticism for my review, I was going to say that it was too short… but it’s 400 pages, so I guess that’s just me being greedy.

The storyline is NOTHING like I expected, and I absolutely adored the unpredictable nature of it. His fierce protectiveness and unwavering care easily melted my heart, and the steamy scenes had such great intimacy to them. I loved the intensity of this sweetheart of a hero – he’s a jealous, possessive killer, but he’s also kind of a cinnamon roll who is starved for praise and affection. This couple is drawn together like magnets, and their chemistry lit up the pages. I was HOOKED from the very first page, and I devoured the whole book at an alarming rate – I loved it!
