Another masterpiece by a truly gifted
thriller/suspense/romance author! Her novel
may be 700+ pages, but there’s never a dull moment.
Homicide detective Scarlett Bishop is
called to a murder and immediately runs into the man she’s been thinking about
for the last nine months, Marcus O’Bannion, the local newspaper owner.
It’s obvious why a homicide detective would
show up at a murder scene, but why would a newspaper owner be there first and
wearing Kevlar?
Everything has a reason and Marcus was trying
to help the woman now lying dead at his feet.
Not to mention he’s the one who specifically called Scarlett to the
scene because she’s been caught in his dreams for the last nine months, also.
It’s a great trip through the
underground as Scarlett works on solving the case. She allows Marcus to see more than the
average newspaper is allowed for reporting purposes, but he has special privileges.
And the extra privileges extend into the
bedroom where Scarlett and Marcus have their own mystery to solve about
relationships.
I thought the suspense and thriller
aspects of the story held great merit and I’ve never been disappointed by one
of Rose’s stories. Plenty of romance littered the pages, granted
the conflict between Scarlett and Marcus seemed a bit weak. Although, if the conflict had kept them apart
more, then the hot romance would’ve been less, so either way I consider it a
win-win story!
Happy
reading,
Dawn
