I rate this book a 2 1/2- 3 for average. I did like it, and I am a Dinah Mccall/Sharon Sala fan -but I did not think it was one of her best. I found it hard to believe the "evil" senator could survive so long in the cold w/o adequate clothing, food, water or take shelter. he was injured but still managed to tromp all over the mountains to find Johnny and Molly. He should have died from exposure -or The pregnant woman should have had better aim! I also thought Dinah could have scaled back on Johnny's family - what was the need to have that many relatives? I could see Mike and Evan - but the other 2 dads too? It was nice that Mike found Deborah and fell in love. but I would have liked a bit more story and romance between Evan and Molly - afterall SHE is supposed to be the heroine for saving Johnny -but somehow she gets sidelined to a secondary bit character so that was disappointing too.

I totally enjoyed this book. It was the perfect combination of romance and suspense. I had a hard time putting this one down! I enjoyed all of the characters and the pace of the book was non stop. This might be my favorite McCall book yet!
