Abby Langford is known for her role on a popular soap opera. Her character on that show is conniving, aggressive and sleeps with whoever is handy. Abby is just the opposite in real life. She and her husband have just divorced and the tabloids have slaughtered Abby in the press. Accusing her of multiple affairs and behavior her character on her soap would be proud of.
Abby is honest and loving and a great mother and friend. After the divorce she moves her daughter back to her hometown in Minnesota wanting her daughter to have an upbringing away from the Hollywood hype and publicity. Abby purchases the house she always wanted as a child and slowly begins to refurbish it while taking on her new career as a mystery writer. When she finds a knife hidden in a wall and begins getting hate mail at the house Josh, the police chief, comes out to investigate. He has his own ideas about Abby and what is really going on, but soon finds it hard to believe what his cynical mind is telling him.
I really liked this story. It is a good romantic suspense, and kept me guessing until the end. You really dont know if Abbys knife, dreams and stalker are tied together or separate. There is so much going on that the book is never boring. The romance between Josh and Abby is hot and believable and also made the book hard to set down.
The story is filled with side characters you love like Abbys surrogate family, her daughter and Joshs sister. And then there are the characters in the story you want to stab like Heather and Colin. I have never read two characters more instantly dislikeable! It was making me laugh at myself how much they were aggravating me. I got a little wrapped up in the story.
I love a good romantic suspense novel and this one definitely is I would recommend to anyone wanting a little mystery in between all the snogging. This is my first time reading this author but it has inspired me to be on the lookout for other books.
