Product Description
New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson delivers the suspenseful story of a woman with shocking secrets who is drawn into a journalist's web...and an obsession that could destroy her. In the chill of an Oregon Night, a man plunges to his death. Another vanishes without a trace. A third drowns in the murky waters of a quiet lake. Alone in the dark, a ruthless killer is certain that every loose end has been cut, every enemy silenced...except one. It's been sixteen years since Claire St. John fled in terror from her family's home on Lake Arrowhead. Sixteen years since her fiance's tragic death and the shocking secret she promised never to reveal to anyone. But that was before journalist Kate Moran began probing the mystery of that horrible night, turning a light on the darkest corners of Claire's life, exposing her once again to a cold-blooded murderer's vicious fury. Now, as Claire returns home to face a past she's tried to forget, another body is unearthed, revealing the twisted nature of a killer who is ready at last to make Claire pay the ultimate price!

This book was a decent read for its genre; decent characterization, plenty of sex, and a better than average story. It would make for a good beach read. One thing I have to remember with romantic suspense is that there is usually minimal romance and this book is no exception. Basically you aren't wasting your time by reading this book, but you won't be missing anything if you don't.
My one big annoyance with this book is the setting. The author claims to be a Northwest native, yet she is completely off on her depictions of the Oregon coast. The atmosphere and the weather she describes in her book sound much more like a beach on the East coast and nothing like the actual Oregon coast. This isn't that big of a deal for this type of book, especially for readers who have never been to the Oregon coast and won't know the difference. However, it was pretty annoying to me as a resident of the Northwest that she would get it so wrong.

I am not quite finished with this book, but every time I come across another EXPLICIT love scene, (which get more frequent toward the end of the book)I want to scream. This book is a good mystery/family-saga kind of story, BUT be forewarned that the sex scenes are on a par with unwillingly watching a pornographic movie. It's pure garbage...and goes on & on. I cannot imagine an author sitting there writing about a woman's extremely private body parts, or how many times the men have erections (quite often, I might add).
Any little thought leads to an erection. Weston, on the phone, Kane at his desk......etc, etc, etc......... After awhile, it gets to be laughable.....
This book could have easily been 220 pages long & interesting, not 440 pages with repetitions and repeated encounters.
This is the first & last book I will ever read by this author. There are too many wonderful books out there & too little time to waste on this stuff. Ugh! This book deserves the Bulwer-Lytton Award for the worst phrasing & writing.

This book has everything to make a great book, love, hate, murder, and deceit.
The story begins with two families that are fueding, the Taggert's and the Holland's.
Dutch Holland has three daughters, Miranda, Claire, and Tessa.
Neal Taggert has two son, Weston, Harley, and a daughter Paige.
Harley want's to marry Claire, but the families are against it, and Claire thinks that Harley is still seeing his ex-girfriend Kendall.
Weston is the wild son, the athlete, popular, great at the comapny they own, but nothing pleases him.
The story starts with Harley's death after Claire breaks their engagement, and the cover-up of who killed him, or was it really suicide.
The story goes to the past and then back to the present.
Dutch Holland wants to run for mayor, but he is afraid his daughters may have been involved with the murder 16 yrs. ago.
This was such a great book, and there is so much more than I could put in a review.
The love affairs when they were all teenagers, the people that disappeared, the ones's who fought against their family's name to have love.
I liked the part when Lisa Jackson takes the story back 16 years, I think that could have been the whole book in itself.
I liked the book, hated for it to end.
Was really one of the better books that I have read lately, but Lisa Jackson always writes good books.
