The mark of a professional writer is that each book is better than the last. KG McGregor has, in my opinion, consistently grown as a storyteller. It's always nice to read a book that's cleanly written, with just enough twists and turns to keep you guessing, but not so many that you lose your way.

KG has created fun, interesting and thoughtful characters who pull you into the story. The women are adults in every way. They know who they are and what they want. They may be thwarted sometimes, but not because of wishy-washy personalities or fake conflicts. These people try to live their lives honorably and honestly, and, in my view, that's relatively rare in a lot of fiction.

I got six solid hours of pleasure from reading this book, and, since it cost about a much as a first-run movie, that's quite a bargain. And I can read it again without anyone noisily eating popcorn next to me.

So, I not only recommend the book, I recommend skipping the next big-budget, plot-starved action movie and diving into this well-crafted tale. You'll definitely get your money's worth.
