There is nothing like first love. It’s a special time in a young person’s life when everything is perfect. Everything feels so good and you love with your whole heart. Innocence is yours and no one can take away the feelings you have. Young people take these feelings to heart and don’t believe they can live without that person they love so deeply. A broken heart seems to be worse when you are this young. Truly it’s just something new to a teen though.
Tabitha and Connor fell in love and seemed to have it all figured out. They were totally engrossed with each other and did not need anyone else. It was true love for them both and it was a raw, true, innocent feeling where nothing could interfere with them. Almost nothing. Connor’s grandmother was a force to be reckoned with. She thought she was above everyone. Way better than a lowly hired hand. Tabitha and her grandmother worked for the country club and that is where Tabitha/Tabby, met Connor. They fell hard for each other. Things were not as perfect as they thought. When Connor’s grandmother said to end it Connor did just that.
Many years later and Connor runs into Tabitha again. Is it true love once more or something way more sinister. Is he being honest with her or using her as a fall for his “wife’s” death. Connor married the ultra rich Nina. She’s way older than him and is richer than God. He keeps trying to prove to her that it’s the real thing but once he ran into Tabitha again he’s almost willing to give it all up for true love. Or is he?
There are several people in this story who could have a motive to kill Nina. Her late husbands business partner who has a thing for her. His ex wife who blames her for the demise of her marriage and for her and Connor breaking up. Nina can be a force. She can be a hard woman. But she had been hurt by her late husband also. He was much older and had many affairs during their marriage. She didn’t want to be hurt again and that made it hard for her to trust. Thus she truly believed Connor was going to kill her for her money. But would he do that? Was the money really worth that to him? Would Tabitha be capable of killing Nina to get Connor for herself?
This book starts out strong and stays that way until the very last word. You will turn the pages and wonder what is coming next. Who did what to whom and why. Did Nina really take her own life or had something much worse happened to her? Who can you trust? Who do you believe. Or can you truly believe anyone? There are a few suspects to look at: Connor, Tabitha, Juliet, Hank, Lauren or even Steven Kovacs. One of them may be guilty of murder and others may be hurt trying to find out.
There are many likable characters in this book. The scenes are so realistic and the tension is thick. I found myself holding my breath a few times. Wondering just who do I trust and saying run. Run fast. Get away. Don’t look back just run.
This is a great thriller and you are in for a true treat.
