PLOT:
Took a while to get going into suspense land- it laid a good foundation before getting more intense, which was fine with me. The groundwork wasn't at all boring, and it gave us a good background to work with.
SEXUAl CONTENT:
Not much. A few kisses. Characters fall in love, are attracted to each other- etc. This is a romance, fyi :)
An agent running a protection detail for Sadie (he's a flirt) suggests getting a hotel room (for surveillance purposes) and says, "We could rent a room and watch from there. Have a little fun while we wait." He waggled his eyebrows.' To which Sadie replies, "Here? Are you kidding? I require a five star hotel."

VIOLENCE:
Manhandling, some hand to hand combat, people get shot in a scuffle, someone is run off the road and drowns in a river (not experienced firsthand, but recounted later on) someone is drugged, another time a character tries suffocating someone with a pillow, unsuccessfully.
CONCLUSION:
Never read anything by Valerie Massey Goree before, but I really enjoyed this book. The suspense was great, the plot well constructed, the characters lovable and relatable, and the romance sweet.
The only thing I wasn't so much a fan of was the religious content- it just didn't catch me, but I can separate that and still enjoyed this read.
4.5 Stars & I'd recommend this book for 16-17+
SIDE NOTES:
Also, this is the first book I've read (of hundreds) that had the spelling of okay, as OK. To me, it looked weird in print, as I've always read it as okay, not OK. It felt like a bit of a splash of cold water to the face each time I came across it- but that spelling is not a maker or breaker for a book, it was just...strange. Anyone else have thoughts on the spelling?
