Blurb from book: As director of an inner-city women’s shelter, Dana Dupinsky safeguards many secrets. Some are new identities; some are new addresses; and some are even hidden truths about herself. Passionately dedicated to Hanover House and the women she protects, Dana has always been reluctant to look for love. But now, just as a case puts her and a child in mortal danger, it seems that love has come looking for her.
  Security expert Ethan Buchanan learned to stalk men in the Afghan desert. Now he vows to track down the ruthless woman who kidnapped his godson—and falling for Dana is not in the plan. Yet her very presence seems to chase away the ghosts that haunt him, and her skillful evasion of personal questions raises his hunting instincts. For there’s a deadly new secret at Hanover House. A brutal killer is weaving a web of revenge with a stolen boy at its center. And Dana is the next victim on the list…
My thoughts: Finally, a book I looked forward to picking up! Lots of sexy romance. Mmmm… just what this reader/writer needed. Oh yeah, lots of suspense, too. This was a joy to read.  

I ended a 77-day writing streak on Monday. That's because we spent the day at the Columbus Zoo. Couldn't have asked for better weather, either. High 60s to low 70s. Sunny. And no humidity! The animals didn't all seem dead to the world. It was a lovely day.

So... When was the last time you went to the zoo? And which one was it?

Happy Reading!

Columbus has such a great zoo. Good place to go for a day of not writing.

It's been years since I've been to the zoo - probably over 10. I believe it was Columbus.

I'm looking forward to visiting the Knoxville Zoo!

Alex - It was a good day of not writing. Even better, I started a new streak on Tuesday!

Jennette - You'll have to let me know how the Knoxville Zoo is. I've been to Columbus, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis. We'll probably check out the zoo in Chicago when we go up there later this month.
