She delivers a complex and emotional character that strikes a chord in the reader’s heart. This reviewer was awed at the sheer courage and love that this was a woman who was going to push right back at the ones who caused her family to disintegrate long ago. Add in a hunky police chief determined to buck the age-old “Fraternity” of cops and get to the truth, you have sparks flying and love blooming.
