Heartbreaker

by Julie Garwood

The New York Times' bestselling author's first contemporary romance 'Bless me Father for I will sin...' The penitent knelt in the confessional and breathed the taunting confession that he has killed before - and that he plans to shatter the calm of a small Iowa town with his next strike. Only this time, he raises the stakes, daring the authorities to catch him if they can. This time, he has revealed the name of his intended victim,: beautiful Laurant Madden. When Nick Buchanan is called in to intercept the killer, the seasoned FBI agent can't refuse: Laurant is his best friend's sister. Placing himself by Laurant's side day and night, Nick finds himself falling for this courageous, spirited young woman who refuses to be shaken by a killer's threats.

This was Julie Garwood’s first romantic suspense (not to mention the first book of her’s I’ve read), and if you ask me, she hit it out of the park. I really liked this. I liked Nick’s blindspots and Laurant’s straight-forwardness and the quirky cast of characters in Holy Oaks. Though I figured out the identity of the Heartbreaker about halfway through the book, I didn’t know where he was hiding until Nick did. Big thumbs up!
