My Thoughts:
This book captured my attention from the very beginning. I am the marketing director at a hospital, so the fact that one of the main characters in this book was a hospital marketing director just pulled me in.
I didn't read the first two books in this series, but I had no problems getting to know these characters and the situations they were in. Sloane is a mystery of a woman, but we quickly learn she has a very dark background that has her life in danger, as well as the lives of those around her. The simple fact that she is a nurse shows she has compassion, but the way she interacts with her patients is perfection in showing the kind of person she is. Unfortunately, Sloan is always looking over her shoulder for the danger that is determined to find her, and it makes her a very private person unwilling to open up to those around her.
I had a love-hate relationship with Micah. I felt a connection to him because of his career and understood the premise behind his behavior as a marketing person. I know how hard it can be to balance compassion with advertising and he seemed to have a great handle on the task at hand. Unfortunately, his task at hand had him constantly going after the stories and people who preferred to keep their lives under wraps. I wanted to tell him to back off but then found myself hoping he would fight for the love he was feeling in his heart.
When danger does finally catch up with Sloan, it takes down everyone and everything in her life. I was so sad with the situations her friends found themselves in but was proud of the way everyone reacted and rallied around her. I completely loved how this story ended and where everyone found themselves when the danger made its way out of their lives.
