Publisher's summary

There are three rules Brooke Sullivan must follow as a new nurse practitioner at a men’s maximum-security prison:

1) Treat all prisoners with respect.

2) Never reveal any personal information.

3) Never EVER become too friendly with the inmates.

But none of the staff at the prison knows Brooke has already broken the rules. Nobody knows about her intimate connection to Shane Nelson, one of the penitentiary’s most notorious and dangerous inmates.

And they certainly don’t know that Shane was Brooke’s high school sweetheart—the star quarterback who is now spending the rest of his life in prison for a series of grisly murders. Or that Brooke's testimony was what put him there.

But Shane knows.

And he will never forget.

Wow

All I seem to be able to say is “wow” and “oh my God!!” Lots of unexpected twists and turns.

Only thing that really bugged me - why I took off 1 star on performance - is the pronunciation of Penitentiary. The “e-air-e” she says at the end each time was like nails on a chalkboard to me and the word is used a LOT!!! Otherwise I would’ve just ignored it. Tempted to count how many times it’s said now. 😂

Buy it now!!

Ok, I had to drive 970 miles alone yesterday…and let me say, the 8 hours listening to this book literally flew by!! Like I would have circled the block to hear the ending even after driving all day. This author is an INCREDIBLE story teller! I’m literally going to buy all her books. I’ve read/listens to 4 so far, and every one is EXCELLENT!

Pretty good

Enjoyed the story. The way the narrator pronounces penitentiary did not bother me at all. Overall I enjoyed it. This author always has a great twist at the end and you always find yourself waiting for it!
