Blurb:
It’s been thirteen years since Lucy Sheridan was in Summer
River. The last time she visited her aunt Sara there, as a teenager, she’d been
sent home suddenly after being dragged out of a wild party—by the guy she had a
crush on, just to make it more embarrassing. Obviously Mason Fletcher—only a
few years older but somehow a lot more of a grown-up—was the overprotective
type who thought he had to come to her rescue.
Now, returning after her aunt’s fatal car accident, Lucy is learning there was more to the story than she realized at the time. Mason had saved her from a very nasty crime that night—and soon afterward, Tristan, the cold-blooded rich kid who’d targeted her, disappeared mysteriously, his body never found.
A lot has changed in thirteen years. Lucy now works for a private investigation firm as a forensic genealogist, while Mason has quit the police force to run a successful security firm with his brother—though he still knows his way around a wrench when he fills in at his uncle’s local hardware store. Even Summer River has changed, from a sleepy farm town into a trendy upscale spot in California’s wine country. But Mason is still a protector at heart, a serious (and seriously attractive) man. And when he and Lucy make a shocking discovery inside Sara’s house, and some of Tristan’s old friends start acting suspicious, Mason’s quietly fierce instincts kick into gear. He saved Lucy once, and he’ll save her again. But this time, she insists on playing a role in her own rescue . . .

My Review:
I love JAK. This
contemporary romantic suspense has no paranormal elements and is just as great
as the authors other works. The
interplay between the Lucy & Mason is terrific. Both characters have issues but they each
seem to be the cure for the others issues while solving a murder mystery or
two. Fans will love it and if you haven't read any of Ms. Krentz's work this
would be a great one to start with.
