Book Review of One Summer

One Summer
One Summer
Author: Karen Robards
Genre: Romance
Book Type: Paperback


Good story about proper ex-schoolteacher Rachel Grant who offers a job to former student Johnny Harris. Johnny who is from the wrong side of town, is back in town after ten yrs in prison for the murder of a local girl. Though most of the town does not, Rachel has always believed in his innocence. But the handsome sullen boy she remembers has turned into a handsome, sullen and dangerous man. Then the killer strikes again, and all evidence points to Johnny.

This is the first Robards book I could get into. Johnny is a bad boy with a chip on his shoulder but he is hot. I could understand Rachel's dilemma. The killer was very deranged and you don't figure it out until almost to the end.
