Karen is a freelance photographer who happens to be pregnant with her deceased boyfriend Paul’s baby. After a successful attempt to mend fences with her estranged sister she decides she wants her baby to have the family she never had. She decides to track down Paul’s family and friends. She also hopes to glean some more details into what happened to Paul.

Jesse is one of Paul’s friends and co-workers. He’s feeling guilt over Paul’s death because instead of following his instincts and following Paul into the fire that killed him, he followed Paul’s orders and stayed away. Now he’s asking questions about Paul’s death and he is soon ordered to take time off or lose his job. This raises suspicions. What really happened to Paul?

This book is definitely a quick read. The suspense was a little on the bland side but it was there. The resolution to the mystery seemed a bit rushed.

Speaking of rushed, we start the book with Karen still grieving over Paul and worrying about her unborn baby and quickly fall into Karen falling madly into love with Jesse. It happened so quickly that if you blinked you would miss it. Of course she ends up saving Jesse from his broodiness and the book ends about how you would expect. It was a little disappointing to say the least.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley.com in exchange for an honest review.
