MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:
From the moment I picked up this book I was captivated, consumed by the perfect balance of romance and suspense as the romance between an older woman/younger man plays out alongside the danger being leveled by a stalker. With each turn of the page more twists and turns were revealed, while the identity of the stalker became less and less obvious, in this unforgettable contemporary tale.
Lena Montgomery was first introduced in the book Red Sin and left a lasting impression for her commanding, take no prisoners attitude, a woman with an air of mystery surrounding her. In this book readers finally get to know the real Lena as the various layers that define her are revealed, along with an angry and dangerous stalker's motivations. Lena's a strong-willed heroine, one who was always focused on success and who did whatever necessary to win. Her mind is always on work and it's made her lots of enemies, a list that keeps readers guessing as they race to this story's satisfying conclusion. Along with the exciting mystery is an equally strong romance, one that starts out as a casual week-long fling but that soon becomes more profound.
Chandler "CJ" Thompson is younger than Lena in years, but he's equally ambitious with a commanding presence and the smarts to back it up. They're a formidable pairing from the very start, bringing out hidden layers of one another to make them more relatable. Lena's always felt alone, felt like she had to take care of everything on her own, but being with CJ gives her an unwavering source of support. It's a kind of support that only makes her stronger though and is vital as they deal with her stalker head-on. CJ's a delicious hero, easily taking command while just as easily letting Lena take the reins. They're a beautiful balance interacting in scenes that are both sweet and scorching, keeping me glued to every step they take together. On a whole this was an exhilarating thrill ride full of unexpected twists and turns with an unforgettable romance that will keep readers frantically turning the pages until its satisfying conclusion!
My rating for this is an A.
*I got this book from the author for review in exchange for my honest opinion.
