Wow wow wow wow this was amazing!! I lost my love for romantic suspense after reading Karen Rose's full back catalogue but this story has brought it back twenty fold!

3.5 starsI really wanted to give it more bc it's better than most avg SR but I couldn't help but compared it to the previous two books.

This is the story of Jane and Deck. It is a spin off so some of the previous characters are mentioned. That being said this is a short very quick read. Jane is a high profile movie/tv star and her life is not where she wants it to be personally. She recently got divorced because she was not real...

"You don't need to take me to dinner.""Have you eaten already?"At that moment, her stomach let out an embarrassingly loud rumble."Guess I have my answer," Drew said, his laugh echoing off the wal...
Jerry asked, his panicky voice grating across Toni’s nerves like a fork on a plate. She was strung tight, nerves frayed, as she sat in the passenger seat of Ethan’s car. The sound of gunshots had made her blood run cold, fear spiking as she imagined Ethan lying in a pool of blood on the asphalt.S...
She’d chosen her outfit carefully this morning. Nothing said professional like black tailored slacks and a crisp white shirt. Five-inch black boots added height and confidence, and she’d styled her hair in a sleek chignon with a deep side part. She had no idea why her uncle Harold wanted to meet ...
“You didn’t really think I was going to leave you.”“I don’t know what to expect from you.” He jerked against the handcuffs for emphasis.Somewhere in the midst of their frenzy, her hair had fallen out of its ponytail, and the thick brown strands tickled his cheeks as she kissed him. “Lucky for you...
Given their relationship, Karen wasn’t surprised when Kelly didn't ask her to be a bridesmaid. Still, she was a little sad. She knew her mother would have wanted them to resolve their differences before now and would have wanted the sisters to play bigger roles in each other's lives. ...
On the drive over, he’d tried to distract them both by discussing Tricia’s case and Kate’s plans for dealing with the press over the next few days. Several outlets were contacting Kate to comment on the case, but she wasn’t going to give an official statement until CJ was able to question Tricia....
Caroline felt like she’d taken a fist to the stomach. There had to be some mistake.“He paid me twenty thousand dollars to give up my baby for adoption,” Lauren said, her voice a whisper as she leaned closer.Caroline was going to be sick. There was no way James could have been involved in somethin...
That's what he told himself early Thursday morning when his alarm woke him at 6:15. He sported a particularly intense case of morning wood, thanks to a vividly erotic dream. Just like last night, he'd arrived at Sullivan's to find Kelly working behind the bar. But instead of the jeans she'd worn ...
Anna Huang first. Then the darkness, the dimness of light, the swaying bodies rocking to the deep, throbbing beat like supplicants worshipping before the altar of Baal. Within seconds, she was swarmed like a queen bee spraying pheromone into the air. Two men, three men, fo...
And from the looks of her, so did Miss Biddy Lee herself. While she might yet hold the secrets to perfect buttermilk biscuits in her little blue-tinted head, her short-term memory had pooped out somewhere circa 1989.At first everything had seemed fine. By the time Reggie and Gabe arrived, the cre...
He inhaled deeply as the world pulled into sharp focus, his brain, his body registering every detail as though the world was moving in slow motion. He could hear his own heartbeat, see the faint tremor in Krista’s hand as she stared the thug down with an unwavering gaze. He wanted to reach out an...
Okay, to be fair, she hadn't exactly been hounding him, especially when she realized that he had probably heard every word of the conversation she and Sadie had been having. I want someone to pin me down and have his way with me. At least there was no way for him to know that as she was saying th...
After all these years, Damon could still read the shift in her moods from the slightest quirk of her lips, the set of her shoulders. For the first time since she'd come back to town, he wasn't annoyed at himself for still being so in tune with her. Tonight, it felt oddly c...
Molly Tanner slid the plate in front of her five-year-old nephew, Anthony, unable to stifle a smile at his almost comically excited expression. Just one time in my life, she thought, I’d like to be as excited about one thing as that kid is about cheeseburgers. To be fair, Anthony’s excitement was...
