Wow, what a surprise our heroine Regan turned out to be. She had me shaking my head with some of her earlier, youthful decisions. And the lies that came out of that. She even says herself years later, that she may have over-reacted when she left her hometown. I can answer that thought with a strong, "Yes." But then I also got some insights about some of the other pressures on her. So it was a bit easier to understand a little bit more of her reasoning. Still, she was still running even then.
Brady was a strong, honorable and angry man. Angry at Reagan for just dumping and running and staying lost all those years ago. He's a detective and he has a lot of questions for her. And he doesn't let up much at all when it came to trying to get those answers from her. But that doesn't make him a bad guy. He's good at what he does but also shows some tender moments with Rae and her son.
Now Rae's husband? Now there is a guy who is something else. We get to see quite a bit of what his real life is like. It helps a lot that we get both his and Rae's P.O.V.'s. He has a really dangerous life. He ended up being a complex person. But I also liked how all the main characters had depth.
There is plenty of action in this story with some twists and turns thrown in too. And plenty of emotions and regrets are included.
It just kept me thinking, "How in the world is this going to end up well for Rae, her son and hopefully Brady?"
My jaw just about dropped when the book came to a totally unexpected ending. It was a well written ending and also had a good Epilogue.
