Aelissm Davis had to escape Seattle after her boyfriend Brent tried to rape her, then another friend (sort of admirer) Adam saved her but started stalking her. So she ran home to Northstar Montana, but Adam followed her. So Aeli's uncle called in reinforcement: Pat O'Neil, a detective desperately needing a vacation (not to mention he's fond of the sheriff's niece, Aeli) after getting away from his own psycho ex Sara who stabbed him once. As Pat and Aeli got friendly with each other, Adam, then Sara showed up...
Most suspense romance is like 70% suspense and 30% romance. This book is the reverse: 30% suspense, 70% romance. A lot of the first half of the book is Adam seem to get closer and closer, but never made any threatening moves to Aeli, just a little creepy. Then Sara decided showed up later, and she didn't really do anything later. Most of the tension was wasted, as Pat and Aeli romance each other, as both Pat and Aeli knew where Adam is in town by 2/3rd of the book.
To summarize: a stalker story that's not really about stalking, a bodyguard story that wasn't about bodyguarding by the end, and you end up with one confusing novel that was balanced out by decent romance and area descriptions.
