Romance with a suspense thriller, Stella Cameron has written a fast paced novel that draws the reader into the sweltering atmosphere of Key West Florida as a hurricane approaches. The sense of drama is highlighted by the description of Key West as a city with two sides, the playground of the rich and famous, and the local color of a smaller town where people take care of their own. Sonnie Giacano returns months after the night a terrible accident has claimed her unborn child and her tennis-star husband is kidnapped. Trying to make sense of that night, she returns to her home and takes a local job as a barmaid, hoping to find the missing link to her memory loss. Unfortunately for her, she has unwelcome guests that arrive in town, her sister and the brother to her husband, and they don’t want her to find out. She is shy and beautiful in wounded body, and makes friends easily with the owners of the bar. They connect her with Chris Talon, a retired NYCP detective and he unwilling falls for her and wants to protect her from anyone who would want to harm her. Both hurt in the past, they are not willing to trust each other too easily and the drama is created when the reader is unsure who Sonnie will eventually trust and let into her life again. This is a good first book to introduce readers to Stella Cameron’s contemporary thrillers.
