OrangeReviewStarSomeone supplied Kyle Archer's brother with the prescription drugs he used to commit suicide, and Kyle is driven to find out who it is. He starts with the most likely candidate, Alex's therapist Maggie Trent, and though she wasn't the one to hand Alex the lethal dose, she agrees to help Kyle. Maggie's life was shattered after Alex's suicide. In fact, she questions whether she should be providing counseling at all. Kyle is convinced that when he finds the responsible party, his father will give him the respect and trust he lost when his father had to bail him out of his gambling debts. Kyle is the kind of guy whom any woman could easily go for, and even though she realizes it isn't entirely ethical, Maggie can't help but fall victim to his advances. Together they make a dynamic duo, especially in the bedroom, but Maggie knows this can never be long-term, especially since she feels a sense of responsibility for Alex's death, and Kyle understands that his family would never approve.
VERDICT Burke's (Where the Heart Is; Only in My Dreams) multilayered plot keeps readers invested in the story line, and the explicit sensuality adds to the excitement that will have readers craving the next "Ribbon Ridge" offering.
