Zebra, Paperback, 315 pp., Romantic Suspense
In order to meet the terms of her late father’s will, the title character, Amanda, has to put up with being “watched” by Ethan Black—a friend of her late father, millionaire, William Sedgewick. Sadly, Amanda does not want the money of her father’s estate, and someone is willing to kill her to make sure Amanda doesn’t get it.
One of the strengths of this story is the believable, developing relationship between Amanda and Ethan. In fact, the secondary plotline—regarding who is willing to kill Amanda—keeps this romantic thriller moving right along, and enhances the main story which of course is about Amanda and Ethan falling in love.
Regrettably, the only weakness of this story is the dialogue between Amanda and Ethan, who tried to convince Amanda the value of accepting her late father’s money—if only to ensure her son’s comfort and well being. While Ehtan’s attempts to convince Amanda to accept the gift of her father’s money certainly slows the story down, the serious attempts on Amanda’s life pick the pace right back up.
Overall, this book is a great read that is quick and uncomplicated, and definitely a keeper. I look forward to finding out about Amanda’s sisters in future sequels (Haunting Olivia, Shadowing Ivy).
