Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good Story From First Time Author
Nic Stone is a police detective whose partner, Jimmy, is shot in the dark of night. His sister, Carly, is scheduled for a visit the next day. Nic searches for Jimmy's attacker, while tentatively falling for Carly. Carly worryies about Nic and explores her new feelings as well.

Rating: - Good story, needs more development
I suspect that this is a first novel for this writer. She has a good story, but everything develops too quickly and on the surface.

She goes to the airport to meet his sister who is coming in that day and the two begin to fall for each other practically at first sight. Talaran has a good story and parts of it are properly detailed. When Nic is investigating the case, there is good detail about the work, although, if a police ... Read More
