Maggie Kavanagh

Mystery, murder and mayhem combine into the adventure of a lifetime for Sam Flynn. His life took an unexpected turn for the worse when Sam began caring for his younger brother, Tim, who was left in a coma after the accident that claimed their parent's lives. His dreams of becoming a journalist are set aside and he now works as a landscaper. Consumed with guilt and dedicated to his brother's care, Sam doesn't have time for a real relationship and instead makes do with casual hook-ups... and drooling over the very married Nathan from afar. When Nathan's wife is unexpectedly murdered, and all signs point to Nathan as the killer, things don't quite add up to Sam's way of thinking. After all, a part of him never stopped hungering for that unique high that investigative journalism provided, and he can't stop worrying over this case. It's more a murder/mystery than a romance with a plot that twists and turns from start to finish. The characters are engaging, although it took me a while to decide about Sam. Author, Maggie Kavanaugh gave us the rougher side of Sam in this one but threw in enough of his good side that we were able to develop compassion as well as curiosity about this character and want to learn more about what makes Sam tick. I will get the second book in this series.… (altro)
