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.

Great book to read or listen to

I was hooked. Listened to this book throughout the day. Every chance I had, I listened to another chapter. Before I knew it, I finished the entire book in a day. The anticipation of each chapter was intense causing me to want to know more. Very enjoyable!

Not my favorite

Not my favorite. Very hard to listen to the main character. She was very ignorant.

Freida did it again!

Narrator was great - It was nice getting through an audio book without feeling any kind of awkwardness. That's one great thing about Freida's books being so well written, they don't need to be any graphic details on any random love affairs. (: Characters were easy to follow/keep up with. Wonderful twist, kept me guessing and changing my mind several times throughout. A great thriller.

Entertaining

This was the first book I read by Frieda. Everyone gushes about her in all the book groups I'm in, so I decided to give her a try. The storyline was captivating, the writing was alright, and the narration was good but very slow. I ended up speeding it up to 1.60x to stay engaged.

I'm willing to read more books by this author, but so far, would not classify her as one of my favorites.

Great plot, annoying main character

I love a good plot twist and this book delivered that. I especially love the last few sentences, it’s a great closing. Main character could be frustratingly aloof and made the worst decisions. Still loved the story.

Narration

Didn’t enjoy the narrator and some of the intonation she used. The story took a minute to get going

lacks substance

I liked the narrator however the book seemed a little childish. The ending lacked depth.

Wow… did not see that coming!

The ending… the twists had me all over the place. I thought for sure I had figure it out, but not even a chance. This was great from beginning to end.
The main character got on my nerves on how easily she kept jumping back with each guy. She seemed a bit naive at times. I became frustrated that she kept ignoring the red flags that she admitted to seeing.

Overall, I loved it. It only took me a few days to finish this book because I needed to know.

I did not agree with the previous reviews about the narrator. The word “penitentiary” was only mentioned a few times and definitely not enough to bug me.
