I enjoyed this book! I mean if you can protray a male hairstylist as a drop dead gorgeous hunk of a man, well lets just say you've got my attetion!

In addition, it looks as if Stephanie and Paul's murderer is still at large. The romance and intrigue of this story will keep you interest on a cold winter night.

I have to admit that this book was very easy to read. It was easy to figure out "who done it" early on. What kept me going was to see the why. This is a good short story to read on a lazy Saturday. You have no problem falling for Leigh and Caesar.
