Nick's kind of weird with the hero complex being his sole characteristic. He's an EMT, he saves people, that's it. I struggled with liking him even though I felt like he was doing all the right things. Marisa was a little naive, but otherwise quite likable. The plot here was kinda spelled out for you pretty quickly and it felt like most of the story was just waiting for all the various parties to learn the truth that the reader knew from the get go.

If you love category romantic suspense novels with a high spice level, this book is for you!
The heroine, Marisa, was a heroine I loved rooting for! Marisa and Nick won't stop until they get to the bottom of a puzzling death. As more facts and strange happenings occur, solving more than a murder is at stake. Marisa's life and the future of the small town where she resides are in danger too.
What really stood out for me in Ms. Lacy's book were the strong characters and the beautiful setting. From the opening chapter, the setting is almost like another character. It influences the events of the book, and I have to say (no spoilers!), one of the pivotal scenes toward the end, where Marisa controls her fate, had me grinning and wanting to high five her! Fun stuff!

Just couldn't get into the characters and the mystery was pretty pat.
