Dark and Deadly

The story was interesting, but there just wasn't any sizzle. If you like suspense and little sizzle this book is for you.

I loved this book. It kept me interested the entire time. It's so sweet that Paul has loved Torie from afar for a long time. It makes their relationship much more believable and less rushed than some romances. The relationship between the hero and heroine was sweet in nature and I loved how throughout much of the book they are together. I hate books that separate the hero and heroine. The suspense aspect of the book was intriguing as well. I thought the storyline was well though out with a perfect amount of suspense.

Excellent plot, lots of action and twists and turns. Believable, well-drawn characters. Lots of twists and turns, but no "cheating" with stuff popping up with no foundation. An excellent, suspenseful, sensual book. I highly recommend it.

Dark and Deadly is a non-stopped action packed book that starts with Torie Hagan being left at the alter five years before. Ever since than Torie has been having some strange problems. All of the men she dates have been having bad things happen to them. The problems seems to be escalating until one day someone throws a pipe bomb into her house. Then her ex-fiance is found murdered and now Torie is a prime suspect. If that isn't bad enough, she's being shot at, cars are exploding and people are getting hurt. Through it all the last person she ever wanted to see again steps back into her life. Paul Jameson has known Torie since college. He was her ex-finance's best friend and he was very against Torie marrying his friend. Now he's here to help and Torie needs all the help she can get. What would happen though if the killer finds out he's helping her, Paul could be his next victim. This is the first book I've read from this author and I was pretty impressed. The book is a classic suspense with lots of twists and turns so it keeps the readers guessing on who the killer is and exactly why he has targeted Torie. The romantic scenes are pretty much in the sensual category which I appreciated because the story was much more wrapped around the mystery rather than the sex scenes. I really liked the heroine, Torie, and her friend Pam. Both Torie and Paul work well as a couple in the story, leaving the readers to wonder why it took eleven years for them to get together.

This was my first time reading from this author. I was truly impressed how Mrs. Adams put the right amount of suspense and romance. I would recommend this book to anyone. I can't wait to read her other book!
