Summary: I Loved It
Review: It's a really good book full of intrigue-there's romance-murder-nashville and a boy saves girl sweetness about it-- there's a lot of suspense...I couldn't quit reading it-I'll buy another from this author-

Summary: What happened to the end?
Review: Lark Stewart is a singer with a burgeoning career. Until someone tries to kill her in New Orleans and shoots one of her band members instead. A bodyguard arrives in the form of former FBI agent Lucas McCloud who happens to be her first love. Lark & Luke had never really stopped loving each other through all the years. It was reassuring that Luke was able to admit this to himself early on. Their interaction was great as were their feelings for each other.
However, there were a few things that bothered me: Luke never really gave Lark solid reasons for deserting her, twice. Not to minimize his military service but, the constant references to Luke going "off to war to liberate a nation" was a bit over the top. A little interaction with Ian and Lilly, the two main characters from the previous book could have easily been included and still kept this as a stand alone story Still, I had this book pegged for a five. Until the last 20 or so pages which was when the book fell flat. The resolution of the pivotal secondary characters was wrapped up in a total of about 6 pages, with no real explanation of the motives that drove them. One minute the two of them were there, the next gone and forgotten. But the kicker was Lucas and Lark's relationship winding up in, not kidding here, one page! I kept checking to see if some pages had been left out of my copy! Fortunately though, my dissatisfaction WAS in the very end of the book which won't stop me from reading the last in the trilogy "Out of the Storm".
