Blurb:

Can her first love save her life and heal her heart?

Joey made a vow never to return home, but then his brother is murdered. His boss needs him on a critical case in Seattle, yet his honed detective instincts tell him whoever killed his brother is part of something more sinister than the Elkridge deputies can handle. There’s just one problem: Going home means seeing Mara. The girl he’s never forgotten and the one he’s loved since high school. However, there’s something he doesn’t know - something big.

Mara had big dreams. Taking over a neglected small-town flower shop wasn’t one of them. Neither was losing her parents and her independence. She’s trying to make the best of life, but weird things are happening in town, and she can’t shake the feeling of being watched. Her world tilts even more when Joey - her first love and the man who broke her heart - unexpectedly arrives.

Why did he come back now when she’s so broken? How can he leave when those he loves need protecting?

My Thoughts:

Let me start with saying that I wasn't feeling well while listening to this book. Now you would think that it would be a distraction but listening to Ms. Kelly read to me helped me to forget, at least for a little while, the pain I had to deal with. She gave me something else to focus on.

When I first started listening, I didn't think that our narrator was going to do justice to the story. But she proved me wrong. I may not have thought of her as being what I envisioned Mara to look like but she became a pleasure to listen to. She had just the right tone in her voice when it came to changing it just enough for the male parts. She also did a good job in showing the emotions that were needed.

What impressed me about the author was how good she was about showing that we can compensate when one of our senses is compromised. She was also good at showing that the path we take is not set in stone and sometimes we have to veer off and take a different route. And when we veer off, sometimes we get a surprise we're not expecting. Now if Ms. Kelley left her story at that I would have been a happy camper but she went the extra mile and gave me a mystery to concentrate on. It was that mystery and suspense that hooked me into her series. I can't wait to dig further into Elkridge and see what plans she has for her readers. One thing, besides finding a new series and author, this left me with wanting to see if she has any more audiobooks in her future.
