The review of this Book prepared by Stephanie




Nick Buchanan is protecting his friend's, Father Tommy, sister,Laurant Madden, from a serial killer that made a threat to her life in Tommy's confessional booth. That's the story line, it had initial interest but the author failed to develop a good romance. It lacked in romance and realistic characters.
