Review Detail

This story was a winner from the beginning for me mainly because the dialogue was believable, the characters were likable, the action was ongoing, it was not predictable, and the premise of the story was interesting.

Surprisingly, though I loved Helen, her best friend really dug a place into my heart. Helen's relationship with Claire and with fher ather was the clencher for me with this book. It allows the reader to "feel" the character at a level a lot of authors don't achieve. Relationships in a book and the dialogue between characters is so important and shouldn't seem forced. It never seemed to feel forced in this book.

I don't want to create any spoilers so I will just say that I also loved Lucas and his relationship with his family. And is it wrong to say that I really heart Hector even though he isn't the object of Helen's affections?

The book was an overall winner. As a previous reviewer mentioned, Helen does come off a little petty at times but never enough to take away from the story. I look forward to the next book.

I highly recommend.
