Lori Foster is known as a romance writer. I highly enjoyed this romantic suspense novel. ~~~~ [/i]Trucker Sterling (Star) Parson is no stranger to the challenges a woman faces, both in her industry and in life. But she can take care of herself. She's never needed - or wanted - a man around... until she meets Cade McKenzie. The take-charge bar owner sets off all kinds of alarm bells for Sterling, but he also sets her heart racing.[i] [/i]Cade's lived in Ridge Trail long enough to know trouble when he sees it, and the moment Sterling - Star - walks into his bar, he knows trouble's come to call. Secrets run deep in the small town and Cade can tell Star's got as many as he does, leaving him itching to uncover every last one. But finding common ground will mean trusting one another, further feeding an intense attraction that's growing impossible to resist.[i] ~~~~ This book is touted as a romance novel but it is very much romantic suspense, which I love. This is a story about a victim of sex trafficking seeking revenge who meets up with a guy whose family's mission is to stop sex trafficking. But neither knows what the other is up to and they are both very reluctant to keep their secrets to themselves. Between the suspense and the romance it is an exciting ride. I gave this book 4 stars.

Sounds a little too mushy for me.

There is mushiness but there is also a lot of kick butt fighting and such. Real tense and emotional.

@patgalca I don't think I could handle a book like this. About as mushy as I can get is Nicholas Sparks.

I'm used to her stories being all romance, sometimes quite steamy. This plot line was a nice surprise.
