Excerpt
Thirty
minutes later we hear a knock at the door Mrs. Ryan yells up that she will get
it. I figured it’s just our Chinese being delivered. I'm setting the plastic on
the floor so we can start painting after we eat. Just as I finished setting
everything up I hear Mrs. Ryan screams out. I ran to my bedroom to grab my
phone and the gun they made me keep beside my bed. I hid myself in the closet
as I called Mr. Ryan, on the second ring I heard him answer.

"Hey, how are my girls doing?" He sounded happy
"Someone's here, I'm in the closet with my gun like you told
me to do. I heard a scream! What do I do?" I rambled nervously.

Sneaking
down the stairs, I see a man is holding Mrs. Ryan against the wall. Mrs. Ryan
makes eye contact with and I hold up one finger to see how many people are in
the house. “YOU AND ME ARE THE ONLY ONES
HERE ASSHOLE! LET ME GO NOW!” She screams and I just nod at her. The
intruder slams her head against the wall again. I tiptoe into the rest of the
way down and sneak up behind them. I place my gun to the back of his head.

“I am going to give you to the count of
three then I will shoot this gun!” I wait a moment to see if he will let
her go. Damn it, he is going to call my bluff! “One… Two… Thr”. He let go of Mrs. Ryan before I got three out. “Now turn around.”

The man slowly turns
to look at me and tries to take the gun out of my hand. While fighting for the
gun I can feel a pain starting in my stomach, oh no it’s too soon. Damn it Ky
you know better than this. With one hand on the gun I knee the man in the nuts
and steal the gun back away from him. I back away quickly and when the man
starts to come at us I pull the trigger.

REVIEW
3 stars
Kyler Jefferson had lost it all in one moment. Her family murdered. All she was left with was the twins she still carried. Ten years later, raising her son and daughter she was still on the run. The murderers never having been caught. They would pack up and move and before you knew it, whoever they were would find them again. Caleb a PI was looking into a missing girls disappearance. The last place she was seen was Jefferson Photography and Boutique. While questioning Kyler, Caleb notices after a phone call, she seemed nervous and afraid. Asking her what happened, for some reason she feels the need to tell him. Caleb unsure why, feels the need to protect her. As the danger looms nearer for both of them will they be able to stop tragedy from happening again.
I enjoyed the characters. There were times I didn't really feel the connection between them. AS both of their pasts come to light, I see where they would be unsure of trusting their heat to another. While I enjoyed the mystery and suspense of the story. Also the actual storyline. The book really needs to be edited. To many punctuation and spelling errors. I had to stop and reread a few times to make sure I was understanding what was being said. There is a cliffhanger and lots of unanswered questions in the end. Also in the end I was really confused about something that happened. It really didn't make sense. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
