Publisher's summary

What would you do if the man of your dreams hides the soul of a killer?

Jim Beckett was everything she'd ever dreamed of...But two years after Tess married the decorated cop and bore his child, she helped put him behind bars for savagely murdering ten women. Even locked up in a maximum security prison, he vowed he would come after her and make her pay. Now the cunning killer has escaped - and the most dangerous game of all begins....

After a lifetime of fear, Tess will do something she's never done before. She's going to learn to protect her daughter and fight back, with the help of a burned-out ex-marine. As the largest manhunt four states have ever seen mobilizes to catch Beckett, the clock winds down to the terrifying reunion between husband and wife. And Tess knows that this time, her only choices are to kill - or be killed.

Did not enjoy

I was very disappointed with this audiobook. So many good reviews and I just don't get it. To me it was a cross between a bad Lifetime movie and a cheesy action movie. Very unrealistic and over the top in so many ways. The sex scenes did nothing for it, in fact there was nothing romantic about it at all. Wish I'd used that credit on something else. The narrator was great though (for what she had to work with!)

Romantic Mystery

I loved the psychological thriller aspect. I felt the "romance" distracted from the true story.

This needs to be made into a movie!

Hollywood and Lisa here me now!!! This book needs to be on the big screen!! Mark Walberg should play JT, Rachel McAdams should play Tess , Charlize Theron should play Marion and Charlie Hunnam should play Jim!!!


Excellent story, excellent narration! Exciting, suspenseful, a little romance.... very well done!!
