What if Jamie is still alive? With no evidence, the police aren’t interested, so Devlin and Kaz have little choice but to investigate themselves. Devlin never gets involved with a client. Never. But the more time he spends with Kaz, the more he desires her – and the more his carefully constructed ice-man persona starts to unravel .
The desperate search for Jamie leads down dangerous paths – to a murderous acquaintance from Devlin’s dark past, and all across Europe, to Italy, where deadly secrets await. But as long as Kaz has hope, she can’t stop looking…

My thoughts:
If this would have been just a thriller then perhaps not for me, even if the thrilling part was actually my fav (go figure), but anyway, it also had romance. Big yay.
The suspense part was very good, I kept asking why and how?? I thought I knew, I thought I could figure it out, but it made no sense. But even in this craziness in the end it all made sense. Some are just insane.
Kaz has gone through what no mother should have to go through, she has a lost a child. The Devlin comes along, mysterious and sexy Devlin. The sparks fly, but there is also something else. The big mystery of the book, is Jamie actually alive? And if so where?
Wareham does not make it easy for the reader. The question of Jamie hangs over us, then someone is after Devlin too, and why? The hunt takes us far and more questions show up. I do like a good mystery that I can't figure out.
With the suspense and mystery we got the romance. Two people falling for each other when they shouldn't. And some secrets cannot be shared.
Conclusion:
This one is for those who like suspense, thrillers and mysterious, but who also want a bit of romance and softer tones.

I haven't heard of this one before but it sounds like one I might like. Glad it was a good read for you.
ReplyDeleteI like dhow I could not figure things out
DeleteThe suspense part sounds good to me!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out to be the best part :)
DeleteStories about missing children are always so hard for me to read because it's such a tragic thing to happen, so I'm glad this one has a hint of romance to help switch up the focus.
ReplyDeleteI know :/ it was not the easiest subject and I kept thinking of why someone would have made the mum think the kid was dead. Horrid
DeleteThriller with romance? That rarely goes together. When it does, it usually takes a back seat to the romance, but that is okay with me in a book. Haven't heard of this one. It's going on the wishlist!
ReplyDeleteHere, well the suspense thriller part was foremost, but still in a lighter way..even if peeps died
DeleteRomantic suspense is one of my favorite things to read.
ReplyDeleteRomantic MM suspense? ;)
DeleteDefinitely a big yay for romance, I'm always looking for that in every book I read:) Glad the mystery isn't predictable and it kept you on your toes!
ReplyDeleteShe did it very well, I love a good twist. And yes romance is a most everywhere! Except for fantasy, no thank you there..well sometimes ;)
DeleteHow did you guess?! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh you know me, I am such a good guesser :D
DeleteRomantic suspence...hmmm...I am glad you liked it!
ReplyDeleteLol, perhaps if we took out the romantic part for you?
DeleteI too like the idea of a bit of romance thrown in. This sounds like an interesting read. :)
ReplyDeleteSure it would have been good without the romance, but..it would not have been my style
DeleteSounds like it has all the elements I like in a book!
ReplyDeleteYou've got me intrigued. And pretty cover as well.
ReplyDeleteIt fits really well
DeleteHmmm, interesting! But I'm not much of a Thriller reader. thanks for the review! :)
ReplyDeleteNeither I am..but one never knows in the end :)
DeleteSounds like my kind of book!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is :D
DeleteOh, as good as you make this one sound, I think the part about the heroine losing her child would be too difficult for me to read.
ReplyDeleteLuckily is the wrong word to use, but still luckily for me it happened 6 months before so we did not have to be there during the hard months
DeleteAny bit of romance in a story is a plus for me. Also I keep thinking that this storyline would make a pretty decent movie.
ReplyDeleteA Thriller with a romantic base, yup it would be great
DeleteThis sure sounds exciting, especially if you cannot figure it out. But with a missing child, this is bound to be a bit too intense for me. Glad you enjoyed it though.
ReplyDeleteit never got too intense, perhaps cos she clung to her hope
DeleteIt's always nice when they had a pinch of romance to mysteries and thrillers and etc. It's like ketchup! ^.^ Great review.
ReplyDeleteLol, I love the way you put it and you are so right
DeleteI thought this one sounded like it had a lot of promise!!
ReplyDeleteif it's your genre then yes :)
DeleteSounds worth checking out!
ReplyDeleteOh sounds like this is for me. I love romantic suspense. This sounds like an emotional rollercoaster as well.
ReplyDeleteI like it too, but I do not read a lot of it for some reason
