REVIEW FROM JESS:

This book has SO MANY elements I normally can't stand, and still I loved it anyway. I've reread some favorite romances from the 80s and been appalled that I could have ever liked them. So it's not just that I loved it years ago. Somehow, Vicki Hinze makes it all work.

This an intriguing book. Sara West's specialty is working with PTSD patients. When she is recruited by a man who runs the unit her late brother in law worked for, she doesn't want to do it. She doesn't trust him but he gives her no choice. She is to bring back one of his men to sanity or he will be terminated. Sara is under no illusions that she is safe and just hopes she learns exactly what happened to her brother-in-law. Joe is the patient she immediately realizes is her priority but the more she learns, the more twisted it becomes.
I liked Sara fine. She was manipulated into taking an assignment that is very likely going to cost her her freedom or her life. There is so much wrong with the facility and the people running it that it is mind-boggling. Joe, I felt so bad for, but loved how his character grew and changed. The head nurse was a great. I just had trouble getting into the book and connecting with the characters. The story line flowed well and it wasn't bad, it just wasn't for me.
It was a 3/5 for me.
