He sweeps Holly off her feet, and is soon touching the lives of everyone she deeply cares about. But is Jack the considerate, concerned gentleman he appears to be—or is there a very different creature lurking below the surface? Has a monster entered her life . . . and how far will Holly have to go to save the person she loves more than anyone else in the world?
My Thoughts:
I was totally blown away by the fact that this is Brooke Morgan's first book! She has written a real page-turner with Tainted. I knew from reading the synopsis that there was a sinister element within the pages but I wasn't expecting to actually like the person responsible for the menacing under tones. Holly is a character that will capture your heart immediately. She's shy, reserved, and old-fashioned. She's guarded with her heart and when Jack enters her life, she's at first afraid, but with the approval of her grandfather, jumps into this wonderful life promised to her. There are warning signs along the way, but Holly does what anyone who is madly in love does, she makes excuses for the behavior and pushes it out of her mind. This is a story about that adage, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Highly Recommended!!
