Ruthie: I don’t know how I missed this book, I loved On The Island and ended up buying it for 2 friends as gifts. So when I came across Covet at the library I couldn’t figure out how I knew the author at first. Anyway, I could not put this book down…I also couldn’t figure out if I liked it but I could not stop reading.

As soon as I finished I needed to talk to someone about it so I looked to see if you read it (of course you did). Thank god because everything I was feeling, you felt the same. I was so torn (being married for 25 yrs) I shouldn’t be rooting for the cop (I loved him)!!! Thanks, as always you are the BEST.
