Synopsis: Grace
is escaping the memory of her husband. She was supposed to be headed to visit

just couldn't bring herself to show up. And not because she was devastated over
his death. She loved her husband, but the fool had been cheating on her with
someone from the University at which he taught. Grace decided to high tail it
to the McRae’s family cabin on a remote lake. But when she gets there, she has
to deal with an intruder.
All wounded Naval
Intelligence Officer Aidan Shaw wanted was a quiet place to convalesce after
his helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan and all his crew killed. Mentally
and emotionally scared, Aidan is instructed by his commanding officer to lay
low while he recuperates because there is also someone after him.
In walks Grace to the secluded cabin and scares the pant of Aidan who draws a weapon on her until he realizes that he is the little sister of the friend who loaned him the cabin. What will happen with these two strong personalities in the same cabin for a weekend?
Review:
I was hoping for a miracle with this book. I really, really wanted to like it.
But, unfortunately, the story line, plot, and characters all fell flat for me.
Everything felt one dimensional and didn't even come close to pulling me in. I,
even, put the book down for about a week and came back and read it because I
knew I just had to finish it. But it was painful! Even one of the more exciting
parts of the plot (the fact that Aidan is in hiding because there is someone
after him) crumbled when Aidan’s commanding officer just says something like …
oh, don’t worry. We figured out it was a kid. You can come back now.
I don’t know that I would
recommend this book to anyone else to read.
In my
opinion, this book gets:
2 out of 5 stars.
