It was full of suspense, hot sex scenes, and it allowed me to imagine the characters as actual people\u2026which is what I expect from a read. With this being a debut novel, Laurie did a great job in setting the stage for a thrilling ride. Even with the few hiccups, it read well. I am looking forward to future works from Laurie and I have no doubt that she will have a great following and readers craving for more! <em><strong>Solid 3 \u00bd Stars!!!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Get Dark Past Today<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ac&amp;ref=qf_sp_asin_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=eroticbookreview-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B017BUFEXO&amp;asins=B017BUFEXO&amp;linkId=6234ab3c89f1182fcafcb2768384f319&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true&amp;price_color=333333&amp;title_color=ce002a&amp;bg_color=ffffff\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/h4>\n<div class=\"ubb-final-rating\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eroticbookreview.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-book-blogger\/assets\/images\/stars\/red\/three-half-stars.png\" alt=\"three-half-stars\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Good This was a good story.
