While at a job interview, Olivia MacKenzie lands in the middle of an FBI sting operation. This is where she meets FBI Agent Grayson Kincaid who is instantly smitten with her. Olivia doesn't plan to get involved with Grayson. She is busy trying to bring down her father who is stealing millions from unsuspecting investors. She was also sick as a child; and believes her illness will someday come back and kill her. Olivia doesn't want Grayson to suffer if she gets sick again. She is willing to give him up so he does not suffer in the future.
This is Julie Garwood's tenth romantic suspense story. I enjoyed the mystery portion of the story. Someone wants Olivia dead and Grayson is determined to keep her safe. There were several suspects, including some of Olivia's family, who may want her dead. I enjoyed guessing who was behind the attempt on Olivia's life. The romance portion of the story didn't work for me. Grayson seems determined to start a relationship with Olivia, then he wouldn't call her for several days...sometimes weeks. What drove me nuts was the fact that Olivia put up with it and didn't call him on it. I also didn't like that Olivia was willing to give up Grayson for his own good. She didn't want to marry him, only to suddenly die and leave him a widower. I hate that trope and thought authors were no longer using it.
Overall, I loved the mystery/suspense, but the romance fell flat for me. My rating: 4 Stars.
