Theresa Matthews gets away from her abusive father by marrying the handsome policeman that singles her out. She finds her new husband is a serial killer. In the sting with the authorities that brings him to justice, and sent to jail, he almost kills her.
Now, he has escaped, and determined to get his now four year old daughter back, and make Tess pay for sending him away.

This is a suspense thriller, that has some graphic violence, and a romantic thread that is rough.

The story action kept the pages turning.

I didn't feel the characters had enough depth to pull off all the faults that every single one of them had. I was never convinced of their actions due to the author relying on telling me how they felt throughout. With all their internal problems, they seemed to be shadows of people at best, and not real.

I wanted to find another book to start by a different author.

This book pieced together all the loose ends of the plot by the end. Some, including the love that supposedly developed between Tess and JT, didn't really seem likely or believable. The story didn't pay enough attention to flesh out the characters, and they seemed only present as a vehicle to tell the story.
