Karen Robards has written better stories than this. This book is 434 pages. All the spine chilling action happened within the first 183 pages, dragged to a standstill until page 367. The final whodunit and HEA happen in the last 10 pages. On a scale of 1 to 10 for sensuality I give it 3.5.
This was our book club read. I enjoyed the story in general, This mother who is the child's only relative is kidnapped. She's sent him running off into a wooded area. She's on a plane going who knows where. It crashes, and her kid could be lost for good, captured, hit by a car - anything! Suspense and terror.
The only mode of transportation left out of the book was trains. The first 7 chapters were spent in the cab of a tow truck, then we had planes, cars and more planes.
Undercover FBI man - young, single mother tow truck driver who does repo work at night meet under less than perfect circumstances. She has young son (4) and all have to go into protection of US Marshals.
The book starts out great and isn't bad in the middle, but it's like 'ok, we've written 400 pages, now it's time to end it.'
All-in-all enjoyed the book, but would have liked a little more suspense.

What? Shiver? There's nothing to shiver about. The beginning is good, reels you in, then.....bleh. The so-called romance is less believable than the hero's relationship with the little boy. It drags on and on,(I even started to speed-read) and then - whoops, let's finish this off. And the cover? It has absolutely nothing to do with the storyline; snow doesn't appear until page 410, & the girl on the cover looks to be blond (the heroine has long, black, curly hair) Very disappointing effort from this author.
Unlikely suspense/romance tale involving an undercover FBI investigation complicated when a young single mother and her four-year-old son are inadvertently swept up in the deadly deception. I had the real "bad guy" figured out fairly early on, and the romance likewise self-announced by the second chapter.
