I recently decided to reread this book when I found it in my library and saw that I had written, "Good - save" in the front of the book. I guess my tastes have changed somewhat because although the book held my interest for the most part, I didn't find it to be particularly gripping. I would probably give this book 3.5 stars if I could, but that wasn't an option so I went with 4. I found the main characters of the book to be likeable and I thought the love story part of the book was good. The storyline was also reasonably interesting. I would say that if you read the plotline for this book and think it sounds interesting, you would probably enjoy reading the book.

Jade Speery returns to her hometown fifteen years after a brutal gang rape at the hands of three of her classmates, led by Neal Patchett, the sadistic son of the self-proclaimed town patriarch. Once a proud virgin, she was saving herself for her boyfriend Gary, and was devastated when even her mother didn't believe she was raped. As Neal bragged that it was consensual, Gary couldn't handle the thought of her with another man and killed himself. When she left Palmetto, she was a broken and pregnant teen; she returns Hell-bent on vengeance against the men who forever scarred her.
As her plan for vengeance takes on a life of its own, she discovers that each man and his family has a reason to want to lay claim to her teen son Graham. She's aided in her elaborate plans for retribution by builder Dillon Burke, whose construction project could put an end to the Patchett's reign of terror on Palmetto. Dillon is also scarred by a lost love. As the two grow closer, love unexpectedly sneaks up on them both. But in dealing a one-two punch on the Patchett family she doesn't realize the lengths that Neal will go to secure his "heir."
Though dated in some aspects, Brown's compelling and heart wrenching story will grab the reader and keep them glued as the story unfolds. More than a tale of vengeance, Brown tells a sweeping story of redemption and a mature second chance at love.
