About the book:
The only man who
can save her life has been dead for a decade…
Raised in a
loving home, Aria Suarez dreamed of becoming a professional pianist happily
married to her high school crush. After the only boy who ever caught her eye
dies a hero’s death and her wrist is shattered along with her future plans, she
turns her brilliant musical mind to nuclear engineering and solving mysteries
of science.
Abandoned to an
abusive father at five, Nick Williams grew up dreaming of escape; of enlisting
in the Army and leaving his wretched life behind; of proving himself worthy of
the girl he loves. But the crucible of combat offers only the escape of death.
A decade later,
Aria uncovers a nuclear plot that threatens the heart of our very nation.
Sinister forces surround and threaten her when, out of nowhere, the man who
reportedly died so many years before returns as if from the grave intent on
protecting her.
Has God finally
joined them together?
Or is Aria doomed to mourn Nick twice?
My review:
This is an
intriguing romantic suspense novel.
Aria has a
brilliant mind, but she is also very aware of what is going on around her. That
makes for a wonderful combination. It also ends up putting her in incredible
danger. I love the development and presentation of this character. We learn
about her family relationships by meeting her during her senior year in high
school.
As we follow Aria
we get a glimpse at Nick. Then Hallee takes the time to introduce us to Nick’s
family situation and shows us what makes him tick. She does a great job at this
and making them very different from each other.
Fast forward 10
years and drop Aria into a dangerous situation. Nick shows up with training and
experience that she had no idea about and they are sent down a twisting and
turning path of questioning, “Who are the bad guys, and what exactly are they
up to?” Their journey is filled with suspense and danger. It was a captivating
novel and I was drawn into it quickly and found that I couldn't quit until the
answers had all been found and the danger was past.
