Narrative In Favor Of Books The Perfect Husband (Quincy & Rainie #1)
What would you do if the man of your dreams hides the soul of a killer?Jim Beckett was everything she'd ever dreamed of...But two years after Tess married the decorated cop and bore his child, she helped put him behind bars for savagely murdering ten women. Even locked up in a maximum security prison, he vowed he would come after her and make her pay. Now the cunning killer has escaped--and the most dangerous game of all begins....
After a lifetime of fear, Tess will do something she's never done before. She's going to learn to protect her daughter and fight back, with the help of a burned-out ex-marine. As the largest manhunt four states have ever seen mobilizes to catch Beckett, the clock winds down to the terrifying reunion between husband and wife. And Tess knows that this time, her only choices are to kill--or be killed.

I preface this review by divulging two pieces of information: 1) I hate romance novels. (To be fair, Ive only actually ever read three romance novels in my life, so I understand that my assessment is based on a very small study sample.) 2) While I dont think of myself as sexist, some of what I may say in this review may sound sexist. Its unintentional, I swear, but I am aware that I may say things about men and women that, to some people, may be offensive, such as the fact that men and women25% DNF. This book is just now working for me.
Disclaimer: This is the second Lisa Gardner book I have read. The previous book of hers I've read was written much later, and I enjoyed that book. This review is about this book only, not about Gardner's ability as a writer. Unfortunately, I can't say that I liked or enjoyed this book much. The premise, a woman on the run from an insane serial killer, sounded intriguing, but the execution wasn't good. Usually in a mystery, there is a puzzle, something unknown (such as the identity of the killer)
Is this supposed to be a suspense thriller? Okay. Technically it was. But for me it was an awesome romance story and a female empowerment story to boot. Loved JT and Tess. Loved them together. I loved how Tess went from mild and meek to kickbutt heroine. Did not love psychopathic ex-husband. But it was worth reading for the fantastic love story (okay I guess I missed the point of this book, didn't I?).
I've done my Gardner reads all wrong. Or maybe it was meant to be?It began with reading book eight in her DD Warren series first, then backtracking through the proper order. Then I moved onto the Tessa Leoni series that split off from it. Now I've gone back to the actual beginning.. and who do we meet? JT Dillon, an ex-marine and (in the more recent books) arms instructor, who has been liberally sprinkled all throughout Gardner's books, who I've very much enjoyed seeing whenever he made an
3.5 StarsTo be honest, I have nothing clever to say. It was enjoyable...ish. It could have been so much better, though.A mystery which wasn't mysterious at all and romance that wasn't really a romance. Like I want to read about the hero's love for his ex-wife for the ENTIRE book.The hero was f*cked up and intense, just the way I like them. Miraculously, I didn't like him too much.The heroine was okay-ish, neither likeable nor unlikeable. I couldn't relate to her, just couldn't...All in all, it's
