Traceless

Debra Webb knows how to write romantic suspense! This story gripped me from the beginning and wouldn't let go. Clint and Emily are fascinating and heart-breaking. You just don't know how Webb is going to pull this one off -- Clint went to prison for 10 years for murdering a high school cheerleader. The sole witness: Emily. How these two solve the crime, deal with hatred and bitterness in a small Alabama town, and work out their unresolved issues with each other adds up to one great ride! If you like romantic suspense, this is an author to savor.

After serving a decade in the toughest prison in the country for a murder he didn't commit, Clint Austin is on parole and back home to clear his name. He's lost everything - his freedom, his family, and most importantly, his sense of self when former crush Emily Wallace found him with the near lifeless body of her best friend and led the lynch mob that sent him to prison. But the town is not wiling to let bygones be bygones, and Emily is back in town to see that he violates his parole so that he can be sent back to Holman. Emily hates that she's still attracted to Clint, and has never really moved on from that violent night that destroyed her school girl crush and the person she once was. When she starts watching him and following him, she soon learns that he might actually have been set up and further investigation puts them both at danger since the real culprit wants to keep the secret of that night from coming to light. This was my first time reading a book by this author and I will be reading anything else she writes. Taking material that has been used a dozen times, she manages to create a fresh and emotional story with a surprise ending. The chemistry between Clint and Emily sizzles off the pages; the anguish of Clint and the losses he suffered make him more than your typical misunderstood bad boy.

I seen this book advertised in a magazine, and just by the little bit that the magazine put, I was drawn to this book. Since I started reading the first page I could not put it down. I loved it!! It was like being in the role of Emily Wallace. Debra Webb is very descriptive, it's like being in the characters shoes. There are no words to describe how vivid it feels to read this book. Every detail and feeling is described to perfection. That Clint Austin was described handsome and rugged,but also kind and sweet. I loved it!! I wish they could do a movie on this! This would actually be a perfect Lifetime movie or Oxygen. Highly recommended!

I read a piece of this book in Cosmo and I decided to order it. I have so much going on I shouldnt even be reading but I finished it in three days. This book is so intense, and I could not put it down. When you are reading it, it feels as if you are there with them. You will not regret reading this.

Emily and Clint aren't perfect, they're delightfully human and it's easy to see yourself in this nail-biting suspense novel. Debra Webb has created a complex plot with complex characters that is amazingly entertaining and easy to read and follow--and I did. In one sitting!
