"Breathless regional romantic suspense novel"
After fifteen years of being locked up in the Donaldson
Correctional Facility for the murder of his odious
stepfather, a crime he insists he never committed, the
state of Alabama frees Reed Conway. Upon returning to his
hometown of Spring Creek, his mother and his shy stepsister
warmly welcome him. His mother works as a housekeeper to
the in-laws of Senator Webb Porter, who resided on the
bench when Reed was convicted of murder. Webb's wife
Carolyn is very upset with the parole of Reed. Webb's daughter, Judge Ella Porter, receives an
unsigned "love letter" that is similar to the ones Reed
sent her fifteen years ago. Ella confronts Reed, but he
insists he did not write nor send the letter and that the
two he sent her fifteen years ago were out of rage at her
father. Ella and Reed fall in love even as an unknown
assailant begins a campaign of terror to frighten her so
she will turn to her father so he can insure Reed returns
to prison. EVERY MOVE SHE MAKES is a breathless regional romantic
suspense novel with two star-crossed lovers having no
chance of making it together due to a shared past and an
unknown villain. The story line is crisp, but employs a
questionable twist to keep the villain out of the mind of
the reader though in plain sight. Still, sub-genre fans
will enjoy Beverly Barton's exciting tale that never slows
down for a moment. Harriet Klausner
