As she knows she needs to find another job other than waitressing, to
be able to afford living on her own with her son. He does nasty things by going everywhere that
a job has been posted and warns everyone don’t hire my wife! He doesn’t get it that she isn’t going to
come back even if she has to leave town.
She finally gets hired by Dawson Reed who stood trial for the murders
of his adoptive parents, the entire town believes him still guilty even though
the charges showed him being innocent.
He wants Sadie to help get the house in order so that he may bring his
special needs sister home from the place where she has been taken care of since
the murders.
Sadie was almost afraid but she finds that he is nothing but an
admirable guy, innocent of any killings, who is working so hard to take his
sister home. He even starts helping
Sadie with the things her husband has been doing to her or trying to do to her.
Eventually they start to have feelings for each other even though the
entire town sees him a murderer. What
lengths does Sly go to, you’ll have to read the book and see. I was surprised at what the author was able
to think up and put into the book. She
must have researched this type of thing well.
I gave this book 5 starts!
Absolutely pick it up!
