Wow! So much went on in this book for me. Roarke and Eve’s relationship evolving, I got to meet Peabody, more Pheeney (spelling?), a new commissioner of police, a good whodunnit and a little Mavis thrown in for fun.

I really am enjoying this series and am still grateful for Anne, Doris, Anna and Holy’s suggestions to read this series. I really liked the mystery, wondering who the killer was. Was the elder Angelini or the younger one? Or possibly the future son- in- law? This world that Robb has created is very interesting and entertaining. It got me heart pumping with the suspense and is surprisingly at times, terrifying with it’s scene descriptions.

It ended with a marriage proposal and I’m very interested to see how Eve handles this. I have the third audio book on reserve at the library and hoping it comes in today so I can get it and start it!

Where to start, where to start? I read the first book in this series and thought it was just okay. Let me say that I love Cynthia Eden whether it’s her paranormal books or her Deadly series. So, I was kind of disappointed with the first book. But this one was fantastic! I loved it in a BIG way.

Trace Weston is a former black-ops soldier, foster child and now a billionaire security specialist. Don’t let the billionaire thing turn you off. It totally worked in this book. He met Skye Sullivan in one of his foster homes and he saved her from an attempted rape. The two of them fell in love then. Then Trace disappeared for ten years. Skye went looking for him when she was being stalked and Trace helped her.

In this book it’s someone from Trace’s past in the military that is stalking them both. This book continues their love story and their struggles to overcome their pasts. Secrets are everywhere here. Skye wants Trace to open up about his past and he doesn’t want to for fear that she can’t handle the darkness that lives inside him if he tells her.

A lot went on in this story. Love, action, plot twists, new character introductions, heart pounding suspense and tons of hot sex. Really hot sex. Cynthia Eden has really hit her stride with this book. I simply can not wait until the next book comes out!

Hayden and Sierra work at a Las Vegas casino called The Serafina. He is second in command in security and she is head chef at the hotel restaurant. They met there and became friends. Sierra has wanted Hayden since they met but figured he was way out of her league. Not to mention he was way more experienced sexually than her. Sierra is a twenty-two year old virgin. Hayden is thirty-two and an ex-SEAL. Sex has always been easy to find for him but since he met Sierra, he hasn’t slept with anyone. He didn’t want anyone but her.

This worked for me in every way. SEAL? Check. Virginal heroine? Check. Las Vegas? Check. A little suspense thrown in? Check. Low conflict? Check. Hot love scenes? Check. It’s a novella so it is short in length but I loved it. I thought it was sweet and hot. A great start to a new series for Katie Reus and one I will most certainly be reading.
