The story is full of angst within their relationship, keeping you on the edge of your seat each time you turn a page."- Rach Lawrence Books"A non-stop thrill ride. I enjoyed the intelligent writing and the fast paced action. The relationship between David and Catherine as fellow rivals turned to each other for mutually benefit reasons is well done and adds great depth to the story line. I was unable to stop reading this book until it was done."- Lori Reed
