So much going on here, but...

...how could someone who was repeatedly raped, beaten and drugged fall so "easily" in love and not have any issues with physical contact?The book starts out with many different characters, and points of views switch around so much it's sometime hard to follow. But the story is good and sucks you in, and you want to know how it will all unravel in the end (even though it's all pretty obvious to everyone but Casey).I think if Ms.Michaels focused as much on Blake's/Casey's relationship as she did to weaving the great mystery, this would have been a great book. But it was pretty good.If you're looking for romance, this book doesn't really focus or elaborate in the area other than the super predictable - if you're looking for a good murder/mystery - this is a good read.

terse romantic suspense

Casey Edwards spent the last decade as a resident of a mental institution, but recently was released to wander Sweetwater, Georgia. Casey's memory before her confinement is limited, but she knows her former home is Swan House. She begins to walk home, but Dr. Blake Hunter sees her hiking and gives her a lift to the house where her mother Evie lives with John Worthington.However, Casey's return is not celebrated. In Sweetwater, the townsfolk treat her with disdain, that is those whom even react towards her, because everyone believes she is a fratricide killer. At home, she is treated like an intruder. Someone wants her dead before she recalls all she lost. Only Blake supports her, but is he and his love enough to keep her safe as she unravels the elusive past?Though loaded with suspense and starring a heroine that readers will empathize with, the actions of the secondary characters (especially mommy dearest) seem too malevolent to believe. Their cartoon-like evil essence takes away from the tale. Still, the audience will like the lead couple and root for them to succeed as an entry against overwhelming odds. Fern Michaels provides a terse romantic suspense that her fans will enjoy.Harriet Klausner
