Attorney Theo Buchanan-brother of seasoned FBI agent Nick Buchanan, the hero of HEARTBREAKER-is in New Orleans to receive an award for his work with the Department of Justice. When he becomes unexpectedly ill at the gala ceremony, a beautiful stranger rushes him to the hospital and ultimately saves his life. The woman-a brilliant surgeon named Michelle Renard-intrigues Theo, but before he can learn more about her, she leaves New Orleans and returns to her small clinic on the Lousiana bayou. Theo seeks her out to thank her, but finds more than he bargains for. When he arrives in the little town of Bowen, he discovers that Michelle is being followed, her house has been broken into and her clinic has been destroyed. Theo is in a position to return the ulitimate favor. Michelle saved his life...now can he save hers?
Behind the threat is a secret society that will stop at nothing to satisfy its greed, including murder. From the time they became friends in prep school, the four who secretly call themselves the Sowing Club have been ruled by their ambitions and their depravity, bound by a pact that will guarantee them millions in cash. One woman, however, stands between them and their ultimate prize...one woman who can destroy them...and they will do whatever it takes to silence her. For Michelle Renard, there will be no mercy.

This was so much fun!
Mostly because of the Louisiana setting and the supporting characters. Big Dady Jake and the rest of the population of Bowen were hilarious. The coach misunderstanding had me laughing out loud.
I did love the mystery too - the villain pov chapters were some of my favorite!
I also liked the love interest - I think he is one of the few fictional men I could actually find attractive.
What I didn't much like was what I usually seem to dislike in Julie Garwood's books - the female protagonist. She has the tendency to write supposedly smart strong women, who turn into bumbling fools at the sight of an attractive men. I mean, I get it, we can all get a bit flustered around an attractive person, but the extent to which she gets the women in her books to act like clowns is damn right frustrating.
Other than that, I loved everything about the story and recommend!
