I checked this out from the library thinking it was a romance but it's not. It's the second book of a trilogy about a serial killer. You don't find out the bad guy in the book. He doesn't get caught etc. I totally was not expecting that. The heroine has a relationship with a much younger man that you expect to have a HEA but it doesn't. They go their separate ways with him saying maybe I'll look you up sometime. There were really two suspense plots going on. One was the serial killer who was targeting Jillian the heroine while still managing to kill several other women. She has martial arts training that you expect to come into play when the killer tries to catch her. But instead, her ex husband comes out of nowhere to try to kill her, the bad guys gives up on her and moves on to another victim and the hero goes back to school. I'm not even sure you could call him a hero. It seemed like he was going to be but in the end he neither helps her with the killer or the evil ex. That being said I did love the character of Ty who was a 23 year old surfer/ lifeguard who spends the summer making out with Jillian and helping her find out who she is. I liked it right up until I turned that last page and found out that not only is there no HEA, but there is no resolution to the serial killer plot.
