Dear Ms. Ross:
I wanted to like this book. It promised to be a blend of romance and action featuring a strong female character.  Caitlin Cavanaugh is the FBI agent in charge of an investigation of a serial sniper in Somersett, South Carolina.  On the one hand, I liked it better than the last Ross book [...]
