Colleen's Thougths: I enjoyed this book very much. The romance was tasteful and the mystery was exciting and intense without being terrifying. It was easy to become involved in the drama of Olivia's and Harrison's lives. Their tenuous relationship went through a life-time of experiences and changes through the story. Although it may seem far fetched for the loose ends of the story to wrap up the way they did, while immersed in the book, my suspension of disbelief was not offended. It is a fun, entertaining, and very tasteful book - especially if you are searching for a romance novel without any smut.
