Query: disappointing

Aunie Franklin flees her unbalanced abusive ex-husband to start a new life in the Pacific Northwest. She grows close to a new circle of friends she meets there, while falling for bad boy James Ryder, a cartoonist with an attitude. As a suspense premise, the material here is slim. Perhaps that's why the plot never really delivers the expected tension. The only present danger in this book is that of being bored to death. There's way too much introspection and not enough of Andersen's usually wonderful dialogue. Readers should definitely pick up one of this author's other books for a great read. I'd encourage you to pass this one by, though.
