Flee the Night

Classic Susan May from back before her writing switched from “suspense with a side of romance” to “high heat romance with a side of suspense.” As a suspense reader, this is my favored balance. I really wasn't sure how she'd make the two work through their past with so much baggage there, but she managed to make it fairly believable as they slowly edge closer back to each other while trying to save her daughter. He was pretty dumb take his friend's side instead of hers, honestly! I loved the race to save her daughter even though I didn't agree with all the decisions she made and wanted to holler at her to make different ones.
