Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
She’s in search of JUSTICE.
Emily Wallace has no doubt about who killed her best friend ten years ago: Clint Austin, her then boyfriend. The key witness in his trial, Emily put Clint behind bars with her tearful testimony. But when Emily learns that Clint has been released on parole, she returns to her Alabama hometown to confront him—and make sure he never forgets the damage he has done.
 
He is dead-set on revenge…
After serving ten years for a crime he didn’t commit, Clint knows only the truth can set him free. Ignoring warnings from his old friend, now the chief of police, Clint will let no one stand in his way as he tries to prove his innocence—including Emily, the girl he once loved who ruined his life. Prison has made him a hard man, yet he yearns for Emily…and he can see in her eyes that, in spite of herself, she feels the same. But even if he can convince Emily to trust him, it might be too late to clear his name—before the real killer strikes again.




Customer Reviews
User popularity level: out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Fabulous suspense!
Debra Webb knows how to write romantic suspense! This story gripped me from the beginning and wouldn't let go. Clint and Emily are fascinating and heart-breaking. You just don't know how Webb is going to pull this one off -- Clint went to prison for 10 years for murdering a high school cheerleader. The sole witness: Emily. How these two solve the crime, deal with hatred and bitterness in a small Alabama town, and work out their unresolved issues with each other adds up to one great ride! If you like romantic suspense, this is an author to savor.


Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Depressing story with unlikeable characters.
This was listed in a romance magazine as "romantic suspense" which I find erroneous. I would call it a murder mystery with some suspense. There was only a small amount of romance in this book. I don't care for murder mysteries, so my rating is low. Fans of murder mysteries might enjoy it. I did not. For about the very first two-thirds of the book, I was angry and frustrated with the plot and characters. Too many people in a small town were cowards and would not stand up against meanness and cruelty. I was depressed and sad at what Clint (who was innocent) went through during his 10 years in jail. A number of people knew he was innocent but participated in sending him to jail. Not one person who knew the truth was honorable and willing to tell the truth. It makes one lose faith in humanity. I also did not like Emily, the female protagonist. She was a wimp. She refused to face logic. She was a witness, but due to her emotional instability was unable to fairly communicate what she saw. She was constantly emotionally unstable, even as new evidence arose, she would not want to think about it. I don't enjoy reading about people like her. By the end of the book, the murders and blackmailing are solved and there is a happy ending for the couple. But, the small positives at the end were not enough to make reading the rest of the book worthwhile.

Sexual language: mild. Number of sex scenes: about six. Setting: current day Pine bluff, Alabama. Copyright: 2007. Genre: murder mystery suspense (with a touch of romance).


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic 4.5 star romantic suspense
After serving a decade in the toughest prison in the country for a murder he didn't commit, Clint Austin is on parole and back home to clear his name. He's lost everything - his freedom, his family, and most importantly, his sense of self when former crush Emily Wallace found him with the near lifeless body of her best friend and led the lynch mob that sent him to prison. But the town is not wiling to let bygones be bygones, and Emily is back in town to see that he violates his parole so that he can be sent back to Holman. Emily hates that she's still attracted to Clint, and has never really moved on from that violent night that destroyed her school girl crush and the person she once was. When she starts watching him and following him, she soon learns that he might actually have been set up and further investigation puts them both at danger since the real culprit wants to keep the secret of that night from coming to light.

This was my very first time reading a book by this author and I will be reading anything else she writes. Taking material that has been used a dozen times, she manages to create a fresh and emotional story with a surprise ending. The chemistry between Clint and Emily sizzles off the pages; the anguish of Clint and the losses he suffered make him more than your typical misunderstood bad boy.


Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - A fun read, not perfect
I just discovered Debra Webb with Nameless, which I thought was better than this, but still worth reading.
On the plus side:
- engaging and fast paced
- enough distractors and plot twists to keep you guessing
On the minus side:
- skip the forward, which (inadvertently) sort of gives it away
- the denouement is a little bizarre, though still pretty good
- most seriously - I know that 'two damaged people fall in love and heal each other' is a common romance theme, and can be done well, but in this case I felt like they were both a little TOO damaged - both of their lives had essentially stopped in high school - to be emotionally ready for a relationship, which made it a little hard to get into.

On the whole - worth a read, but try Nameless first, if you haven't read that already.


Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Wonderful
I loved this book. I must admit I'm a sucker for the bad guy (whose really good) & the goody two shoes herione. This had a bit of a different slant but I enjoyed it all the same.
