Freshly divorced from husband number three, Sarah Connelly packs up her rebellious teenage niece, climbs into her vintage Mustang and leaves New Orleans to begin a new life as an owner of a suburban Boston bookstore. Her relationship with the 15-year-old quickly deteriorates, and when Kit runs away, Sarah turns to the only man who can help her, a young priest named Father Clancy Donovan. Together Sarah and Clancy search the underbelly of the city for Kit, while they fight their growing--and forbidden--desires for each other.

Excellent!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
In Kit's eyes, her Aunt Sarah rivals Snow White and Cinderella's wicked stepmothers for the Queen of Mean. When Sarah says "no" once too often for her liking, the teen ager takes off, heading to the big city and "fame." Sarah, however, is not the wicked witch of the north, but a kind woman who loves her niece and has done her best for her. Fearing the worst, she sets out to find Kit, but runs into brickwall after brickwall. Her only hope lies in the help of a priest whose life work is to save girls from the streets. Clancy Donovan is no gentle oldster, but a handsome, troubled young man. The attraction between Sarah and Clancy is quick to light, but they must ignore it. Kit takes priority, and Clancy may be a rebel, but intends to keep his vows, no matter the temptation to love.
Finding a pretty teen age girl in a city the size of Boston when she doesn't want to be found is like finding a needle in a hay field, add in thugs who want to keep her lost, and the problem is compounded. Despite beatings and threats, Clancy and Sarah are not deterred, even if the price is terribly high.
***** Clancy Donovan is a hero that will win your heart in a page or two. He is more appealing and sexy than Father Ralph de Briquasa of Thorn Birds fame, admitting his weaknesses and dealing with them rather than self righteously denying that they exist. Yet, you can not begrudge Sarah his love, for she is a kind soul, though troubled. The action never lets up, nor does the sexual tension, which is most expertly handled, revealing very little, and creating anticipation. This stays on the keeper shelf. *****

Great Style

I enjoyed this book the most out of all of Ms. Breton's (though I still haven't read Criminal Intent.) She has a great balance of romance and suspense with a subtle style. Her characters are believable and likable. I empathized with the Priest's inner struggles and his character was not weakened in any way by this turmoil. Give her books a try - you won't be disappointed.

This author gets 5 stars from me for a terrific book. I really enjoyed the characters and the storyline not to mention that it was based in my hometown of Boston. Very well written, fast paced a very good read. I couldn't put it down it kept my attention throughout the whole book. This is an author that I will continue to look for. I plan on buying her other books.
Give her a try... you will not regret it. Well worth the time.
