Publisher's Summary

There are three rules Brooke Sullivan must follow as a new nurse practitioner at a men’s maximum-security prison:

1) Treat all prisoners with respect.

2) Never reveal any personal information.

3) Never EVER become too friendly with the inmates.

But none of the staff at the prison knows Brooke has already broken the rules. Nobody knows about her intimate connection to Shane Nelson, one of the penitentiary’s most notorious and dangerous inmates.

And they certainly don’t know that Shane was Brooke’s high school sweetheart—the star quarterback who is now spending the rest of his life in prison for a series of grisly murders. Or that Brooke's testimony was what put him there.

But Shane knows.

And he will never forget.

Twists and turns and some meh moments

Overall I couldn’t stop listening. So good sign. Lots of good twists. Some that I predicted but wasn’t upset when it came true. I was annoyed by the helpless of Brooke at times - but could also see how it kept the plot moving. I thought the final twist was a little far fetched based on character development. Great narrator.

Not a fan of the narrator

Pretty good story, surprising ending.
The narrator hit a little dramatic at times, but overall great book

Really good 👍🏼

I read a review about how this was her best book, and after listening to several others have to agree. I have enjoyed every one of her books so far, but this is by far my favorite.

Great story with twists unexpected

Some dragged out moments but overall a great read with multiple twists that leave you questioning what actually happened that night.

many twists

I enjoyed thinking I knew what was coming then being steered towards another option. ending was about silly I thought but endings are the hardest part. the extra bit after the end with the boy was great, makes me think there's a sequel coming about him growing up and full circle with the ending to tie it up. would be neat.

Good ending

it seemed very laid out and somewhat repetitive but I appreciated the bowtie ending that wrapped the ending. Good performance but made Brooke sound like a tween books.

Good if you’ve got nothing else to read

Story started strong then went off track and less than stellar and did not meet my expectation compared to her other novels

Good, until..

The ending was just too out there to be believable for me, sadly. Good story otherwise!
