Lindsay O’Neil has been separated from her husband, police detective Zack Kier, for a year now. The only thing left is for the divorce papers to be signed. Zack’s alcohol abuse coupled with his one night’s drunken mistake destroyed Lindsay’s faith in him. So when a stalker sets his sights on Lindsay, being forced to spend time with Zack just makes things seem so much worse. Zack has never forgiven himself for the pain he caused Lindsay and has spent the past year trying to clean up his life. He’s succeeded by taking it one day at a time and now he’s ready to try and put his marriage back together. He knows that convincing Lindsay to take another chance on him is a long shot but he’s determined to do whatever it takes. But before they can move forward, Zack has to protect Lindsay from the person stalking her, otherwise he may lose the woman he’s never stopped loving before he can let her know how much she means to him.

I’ve read many of Mary Burton’s historical romances but must admit that this is my first contemporary romantic suspense written by her. I’m Watching You is a well-crafted suspense tale with just the right amount of romance to keep  flipping the pages. Both Lindsay and Zack are flawed characters that the reader quickly grows to care about. The identity of the Lindsay’s stalker is well hidden until the end and keeps the reader guessing. While the storyline of Zack’s betrayal felt somewhat unresolved and left questions unanswered, the emotion between Lindsay and Zack was palpitable. I’m Watching You made me hate flipping the last page, wanting more of Lindsay and Zack. I’ll certainly be keeping my eyes out for more romantic suspense by Mary Burton!
