Book Review By Tanya
Sighs Matter by Marianne Stillings

Taylor and Claire have friends and relatives in common that would love to see them get together. In fact they did have a one night stand after Taylor's brother married Claire's best friend. Taylor, a police detective, felt the earth move and wanted to continue a relationship with Claire, an emergency room doctor. But, Claire has vowed to never get involved with a Cop and sneaks out before the night is over. She avoids him at all costs and is afraid that if she is in close contact with him she will suddenly not be able to resist him.

Out of the blue Claire is suddenly having mysterious accidents that turn out to be more than just accidents. It appears someone is trying to kill Claire but running her off the road, stalking her, attacking her etc. Taylor is now in charge of protecting Claire and is trying to not only keep her safe but to make her realize they are meant to be together.
