¿Había sobrevivido por el destino, la coincidencia o simplemente la suerte? Si la boda de Nina Cormier hubiera tenido lugar, estaría muerta. Pero después de dejar a la novia en el altar, la iglesia estaba vacía cuando estalló la bomba. Sin embargo, no fue hasta que un extraño intentó sacar su coche de la carretera que se dio cuenta de que alguien la quería muerta.
¿Pero quién? Eso es lo que el detective Sam Navarro necesita averiguar... rápido. Como policía sabe que no debe apegarse a la mujer que está tratando de proteger. Pero como hombre...
Mientras se desarrolla una pesadilla a su alrededor, Sam y Nina descifran la asombrosa verdad. Ahora están a merced de un loco brillante que juega para siempre...

After Nina Cormier was jilted at the altar, the empty church exploded. Then someone tried to run Nina off the road, and she realized someone wanted her dead--but who? That's what Detective Sam Navarro needs to find out...fast.
With a nightmare unfolding around them, Sam and Nina decipher the stunning truth. Now they're at the mercy of a brilliant madman who plays for keeps.

I think this is one of her older books and it shows a little. I enjoyed reading it but all throughout I wondered why Nina wasn't in some sort of official protective custody instead of running around with Sam. Yes, I know it was a plot device for the relationship, but I live in Portland and I hope our police department wouldn't act that way. Would they?
Anyway, it's a good read and I love the Portland setting with so many familiar places. Ms. Gerritsen is one of the best at thrillers. ( )

This is supposed to be a “heart-racing romance suspense novel” by an author I've read before and have enjoyed. It's heavy on the romance, light on the suspense. I listened to this through my free trial of Audible Escape, which is a “romance” package, so I shouldn't have been surprised, but I expected better of this author. The story was rather trite. But what really annoyed me was all the instances of men telling Nina what she should do. Back off guys, let the woman think for herself once in awhile. Entertaining, but not great. ( )

After the characters and plot were set this was a great read. Just enough love story and romance mixed with a plot to get the bad guy. ( )
