Review # 1 was written on 2011-12-05 00:00:00 Amy Measel Rating 3.5 Marilyn Pappano is an author who has never shied from writing what no-one else would and this book is no different because in this we have Hannah our heroine, broke and desperate accepting money from her ex to seduce his business partner in what she thinks is helping his wife out in the divorce and turns out to be murder. Mick is a good guy who worked hard to be where he is and stayed married years married to a woman who only wanted his money and cheated constantly but he was always faithful and tried. He has been separated from his wife for eighteen months and the first time he has sex with another woman, he finds himself accused of murdering his wife and burning down his under construction money sucking resort for money, his only alibi "Elizabeth" seems to have disappeared. Then he finds that Elizabeth is Hannah and that she doesn't want to vouch for him, since she is being blackmailed and threatened by Mick's own business partner Brad. Hannah had dreams of a life not involving the motel her family ran but she had to give it all up and come home to take care of her fragile mother and grandmother, her biggest mistake was borrowing money from Brad which allowed him to blackmail her. She regrets it and feels cheapened. Honestly, I am not sure how the author could make a heroine like this likable but at the end she made me kind of like her while Mick was an awesome guy, forgiving and too loving. The book was pretty different.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-03-25 00:00:00 Evan Black This is my first book by Marilyn Pappano and it certainly won�t be the last. There is a murder (the Hero�s unfaithful wife) and it is clear from the beginning who is the killer, but the author knows how to maintain the suspense, with the police following the main suspect, Mick (H) and H and h knowing the �trap� set by the killer is closing on them. How can they find evidence against the true killer? And as the story develops, so does the relationship of Mick and Hanna. But shall they have any future together, should Mick be wrongly comdemned?
