Loved True, just like you, Jenny and so I'm really curious about her adult read. This sounds exactly like my kind of read and yours is the 2nd great review I've read. <br /><br />Lisa Gardener stories are typically heavier on the mystery, but I've loved her writing. I fell in love with her Quincy/Raine series and now I love DD Warren. <br /><br />Anyhooo, I just had to say "hi"! I'll have to check in with you to see if you enjoyed Rome as much as I did. It was a close tie with Rule for me. :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682335183798720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-10326095126617404862013-12-12T22:39:30.486-05:002013-12-12T22:39:30.486-05:00I need to read Erin McCarthy!

Did you read the rest of the series? I am wondering if you would have felt it more due to prior contact. I found this to be true with another series. Those that had met the couple previously loved it and those who hadn't were meh about it.
