4 STARS from Long and Short Reviews

Hauk and Star , as well as the other prominent characters, really kept me on the edge of my seat. J. S. Marlo created a complex plot that demonstrated originality. The cast of characters were brilliantly interwoven in a suspense/mystery that incorporated generations of families.

5 STARS from Romancing the Book 

I loved this book. I could not put it down. I was quite surprised because it really is not my type of book. Star was the spunky and independent female character that I adore and her hero Hauk was the strong, silent and protective man that I love. Their love story was not at the forefront of the story but rather the mystery of why there was a Model T at the bottom of the lake and how it was connected to Star.

Sabotage, explosions, kidnapping, savage dog, this story has it all, plus moment of pure romance which slot in quite naturally. The hero and heroine's aspects on what is happening is supplemented by the attackers point of view so the readers gets the whole story, but without any spoilers to give the game away.
