This isn't how Special Agent Gavin Walker imagined running into Grace again. Two years ago they shared one earth-shattering night, then she vanished from his life. She's brilliant, fiercely independent, and in mortal danger from a killer masterminding a twisted game. The body count is rising. Entangled in the case and in each other, Gavin and Grace are running out of time and chances. And as Grace puts the pieces together, she knows she'll have to confront her own deepest secrets before the final, fatal move is played. No library descriptions found. |

FBI profiler, and bestselling crime novelist, Grace Sinclair, is facing her most difficult case to date. To complicate matters, she and her new partner, special agent Gavin Walker, have a bit of history between them, making things a bit awkward. Not only that, the chemistry between them is distracting, especially since Gavin is determined to convince the very skittish Grace to take a chance on a relationship with him.
But, before they can access any romantic complications, Grace must identify a killer who is murdering women who bear a striking resemblance to her. Could Grace be his real target and why?
Solid, well balanced, romantic suspense-
Everyone knows I have a soft spot for romantic suspense. The combination of romance and suspense blends two of my favorite genres, which makes it a win- win situation for me. But, it’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to indulge in a good RS book. Thankfully, this one satisfied my craving by balancing a quick paced thriller with a little steamy romance.
The plot, which embraced shades of traditional romantic suspense, which I love, held my interest and kept me engaged from start to finish. There were a few minor blips, though. While I do love a thriller that moves along at a fast clip, this one may have been just a little too brisk. Some areas were too glossed over and really could have used some firming up. The romance suffered from that same issue, to some extent, as well. The chemistry is there from the start, which sets the stage for a few steamy and sensual scenes, but the emotional connections between the couple was stilted and forced.
That being said, the author did a great job of balancing the two elements which is often hard to do with RS, and is something I really appreciate! But, what sealed the deal for me, was that I was kept guessing until the end!!
So, overall, this is a very easy to read, entertaining and solid romantic suspense novel. I enjoyed it enough to add the next book to my TBR list!!
