BLURB

This isn't a love story.

It's a story about obsession.

You'll assume you know who the object of the obsession is.

The psychiatrist concealing the twisted connection she has to her patient.

Or maybe her patient isn't as innocent as he seems.

But more than one person hides a secret.

To what lengths will desire and grief drive a person?

Stop guessing. Let the mystery unravel.

I’m a fan of romance and Psychological Thrillers, so I was excited to read this book, especially since I enjoyed Vi Keeland's Contemporary Romances. It's a shame this book fell short on both counts.

The premise was great. We have a woman who has suffered the loss of a loved one and cannot get over it. Then she sees a man who has suffered the same loss and sees that he's happy. Well, how can that be since she is always so sad? So she begins to stalk him, and then the fun or craziness begins, depending on how you would like to look at it. And this is where things spiral downhill for me.

I didn't connect with either of the Main Characters. Dr. Meredith McCall is a therapist in NYC who seriously needs one herself. She knows that stalking Gabriel is wrong, yet she has been doing it daily for way too long. When Gabriel walks into her office as a new patient, she should have turned him away, but she takes him on, and things get worse. 

Now, Gabriel, YIKES, is an English professor at Columbia, and he gave me the ick feeling from the beginning. I don't know what to say about him other than he and Meredith are probably made for one another; they are both a bit loose with their morals. 

The book held my attention, even if I didn't like the two main characters very much. I recommend this book to readers who enjoy Psychological Thrillers with some Romance. Always remember, just because it wasn't my favorite doesn't mean it won't be yours.

Happy Reading!!!
