Book Review

This story was fun, heartwarming, with a touch of danger, the warmth of friendship and family, and some hot lovin'…a great combo! Additionally there is a fabulous reunion affecting two women in ways they could not imagine or envision. Plus a great balance between city and country settings unfolds as the initially illusive common thread blossoms before my eyes. Simply delightful!

Katie Finan is in trouble. The father of her two children's associate is carrying a gun and firing it all over the place and that has sent her on the run. She does not have time to gather up her kids and include them in this desperate, but haphazard escape. So she is tossed into some serious hot water right at the beginning of things. Nevertheless she is very inventive in her getaway, keeps her head on her shoulders, and finds safe haven with the one person she is really confident in. That is how this book opens and while it was unnerving, it was a solid introduction to Katie and her survival skills. Her friend and work associate, Jet, becomes the obvious person for Katie to turn to for help and sanctuary. Katie definitely made the correct choice and Jet becomes way more than a savior, she becomes a good friend and a lover. My eyes were wide open and focused. The game is afoot. Fantastic!

Common threads are unquestionably the underlying theme. So Nic, Dr. Nicole Coussart, is in actuality the connecting common thread to Katie, but the foundation for this connection takes a long time to finally be revealed. It is really worth the wait, however, to come face-to-face with this reality. In the meantime, we get to see Nic in all of her prickly forms along with her skill as an emergency medicine doctor. She is a real powerhouse, but as with practically everyone she has her dark and complicated sides. In fact, the first time Nic shows up in the story she is really a bitch. However, it was amazing to see her professional side and then she also rises to the occasion at a super critical time. After first being exposed to Nic, I would have certainly bet against the manner in which she handled a key crisis. I not only came to admire her, but I became a card carrying member in her peanut gallery. Incredible!

Katie's kids certainly stole the show more often than not, but the cast of characters in this book were astounding. I give this a thumbs-up recommendation. Really enjoyable, very engaging with lots of uplifting and tender moments that warmed my heart. Fascinating!
