This is a new Author to me, I was not putting it down until I found out what was going to happen. Clare Ulster moves to her Grandparents place in the Upper Peninsula she meets Police Chief Jack Ricco, there is suspense, drama, danger, twists, turns, two very evil ex's, and romance. I will be looking for more by this Author.

Taken by Surprise is my first read of Valerie J. Clarizio and it was a delightful surprise. I enjoyed the setting, the characters and the story. This is a wonderful read and I look forward to exploring this authors work more.
