About this audiobook
#1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood proves she is a master storyteller in this classic romantic suspense novel featuring FBI agent Nick Buchanan.
In the still shadows of the confessional, the penitent kneels and makes a bone-chilling disclosure: Bless me father, for I will sin.... Slowly, tauntingly, the man describes his murderous past—how he stalked his victim, worked his way into her life, and then took that life in a violent rage—and his plan to kill again. Only this time, he has raised the stakes in his twisted game, daring authorities to catch him if they can. And this time, he has revealed the name of his next intended victim.
Agent Nick Buchanan has come face-to-face with society's worst monsters and depraved minds in his work for one of the FBI's most elite units, but The Heartbreaker threatens to hit close to home. The intended victim, Laurant Madden, is his best friend's sister.
Soon he is caught up in an intricate chase with one of the most devious psychopaths of his career. But as the danger grows, so does an electrifying attraction between Nick and Laurant.
One false move will cost both of them everything that matters.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Enjoyed the storyline but would have preferred the villian appear earlier. I enjoyed the narrator too, her cadence and delivery were subtly different which made for a unique listening experience.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5He sees them; he wants them; he stalks them; he takes them; finally, he kills them. The dangerous psychopath "Heartbreaker" enjoys murdering his victims. He has already chosen the next woman to add to his demonic list. Father Thomas is in confessional when "Heartbreaker" admits he plans to go after the holy man's sister Laurant. Tommy is so frightened he calls his FBI friend Nick Buchanan for help. Nick promises to serve as Laurant's bodyguard until the monster is caught.
Laurant and Nick, the main characters have lots of sizzle; the plot is very exciting and the action swift. The ending is left wide open for Noah's story, the other hunky FBI agent. If Noah Claybourne doesn't have his own book, I'll be very disappointed. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An excellent start to an excellent series. Fans of Linda Howard will love this!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Noah Clayborne is a good, bad boy in this book. Poor Tommy.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was Julie Garwood’s first romantic suspense (not to mention the first book of her’s I’ve read), and if you ask me, she hit it out of the park. I really liked this. I liked Nick’s blindspots and Laurant’s straight-forwardness and the quirky cast of characters in Holy Oaks. Though I figured out the identity of the Heartbreaker about halfway through the book, I didn’t know where he was hiding until Nick did. Big thumbs up!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed this book and had a hard time putting it down. It's one of the few books I've read where I didn't figure out "whodunit" well before the end of the story. It was great to read Nick and Laurant's story and I can't wait to read more about this interesting group of people.
