Sarah Connolly’s
niece is a typical teen – rebellious and stubborn. But Kit has run away
to Boston’s ‘Combat Zone’ where hookers and pimps do business and young,
pretty girls go missing forever.
Kit believes she can
name it on the streets, but Sarah knows better. She appeals to Father
Clancy Donovan for help in hopes that in his work to get girls off the
street and into a group home, he may have run into Kit. But he's
seen no sign of her, and neither has anyone else.
Together they
search, determined to save Kit from herself and whatever – or whoever
-- is keeping her from coming home.
But what they don’t
anticipate is the instant attraction they can’t deny. How are a
non-catholic woman 3-times divorced and a priest going to deal with the
fact that they are falling in love despites their efforts not to?
MORTAL SIN is
classic Laurie Breton – a character driven, fast paced page turner. She
takes a scenario with no possible happy ending and makes you live the
characters pain and love. Clancy’s life is the church and the girls he
helps get off the street. Sarah has her own story, her own secrets, and
despite sharing so much with Clancy in order to find Kit, she’s keeping
some things down deep. These are two people who have to be together,
but in order to stay true to themselves neither can walk away from what
they are.
If you enjoy
romantic suspense with breathing characters, vivid descriptions and
sexual tension, you have to read MORTAL SIN.
