Summary
For breathless action, gripping suspense, and intense romance, bestselling author Linda Howard never misses a beat—and her thrilling novel will have your heart racing.

In the charming rural town of Trail Stop, Idaho, accessible to the outside world by only a single road, young widow Cate Nightingale lives peacefully with her four-year-old twin boys, running a bed-and-breakfast. Though the overnight guests are few and far between—occasional hunters and lake fishermen—Cate always manages to make ends meet with the help of the local jack-of-all-trades, Calvin Harris, who can handle everything from carpentry to plumbing. But Calvin is not what he seems, and Cate's luck is about to run out.

One morning, the B&B's only guest inexplicably vanishes, leaving behind his personal effects. A few days later Cate is shocked when armed men storm the house, demanding the mystery man's belongings. Fearing for her children's lives, Cate agrees to cooperate—until Calvin saves the day, forcing the intruders to scatter into the surrounding woods.

The nightmare, however, is just beginning. Cate, Calvin, and their entire community find themselves cut off and alone with no means to call for help as the threat gathers intensity and first blood is drawn.

With their fellow residents trapped and the entire town held hostage, Cate and Calvin have no choice but to take the fight to their enemies under the cover of night. While reticent Cal becomes a fearless protector, Cate makes the most daring move of her life . . . into the very heart of danger.

I like her books but this one needed another CD to finish the story properly. Good for what it was but really needed more loose ends tied up.

I understand you have to get a reader to care about the characters by providing details - wow this really does that for the first couple of characters (rolling my eyes when the narrator reads the 4 year old twins) and the first couple of chapters and then it rolls along at a fast clip and then it ends abruptly. I thought, as I stuck the last CD into my player, how in the world is this going to end with only one CD left? The answer is - poorly! I wish the author would have spent more time wrapping things up - it was like she got bored with the story line and just wanted to get it over with. The scenario is very far fetched - some of the characters that could have been interesting were left undeveloped and I was disappointed when the last CD was over and I had all these unanswered questions. I give it 3 stars, sort of a neutral position. Entertaining in traffic.

Linda Howard is one of my favorite authors; however, she missed the target on this one. The book goes on and on with tedious detail until the end, and then it just ends! It made me wonder if my CD had skipped a few chapters! The male narrator was not very good, either. I love Linda and will listen again, but this is definitely not one of her best!!
