Like No One Else

This was a smokin hot love story wrapped up in and edge of your seat murder mystery!!!! GREAT READ!!!

I really loved this book. I have never been disappointed with any of Maureen Smith's books but this one IMO is the best so far. I was caught up in Tommie and Paulo's story from beginning to end. If possible, you should read Whisper My Name before you read this one but, even if you don't - it can stand on it's own. ENJOY!

It was 4 years ago that Ballet Dancer Tomasina "Tommie" Purnell first met Veteran homicide Detective Paulo Sanchez at her sister Frankie's wedding rehearsal dinner. The chemistry and attraction between them was sensational from the moment they locked eyes, but after Tommie caught Paulo in her sister's bridal suite making out with a brunette, she knew he was a complete womanizer and a bad boy to boot. A humiliating and devastating scandal caused Tommie to flee from New York to Houston in hopes of leaving her past behind and to have a fresh start. From the moment Tommie's eyes met and held Paulo's in the mirror at her dance studio, there was still an intense attraction that neither of them could deny, even after 4 years. But, There is a killer on the loose and a local woman that is connected to Tommie ends up brutally murder in her own home. Paulo and his partner, Julius Donovan, are the lead investigators on the case. The case hits to close to home for Paulo and he finds himself seeking the company of Tommie and soon their sizzling attraction turns into an undeniable passion. But Tommie can't help the eerie feeling that someone is watching her... If you have not done so you should read Weapon of Seduction and Whisper My Name so that you can get a better understanding of Tommie and Paulo and even some of the secondary characters. These 2 books are just as good as this one. I like that Smith brings a low key, fresh and casual approach to interracial dating between Tommie and Paulo, and his family. I also like that this is not a cheesy romance novel were the leading lady is perfect and can do everything and anything. Tommie Purnell is real and even though she is a very beautiful woman she is vulnerable. Fine as sin Paulo Sanchez is not your typical leading man. Smith does not paint a picture perfect gentlemen, he has secrets and baggage of his own, maybe that's why he and Tommie are drawn to each other like a moth to a flame. Two troubled souls on their journey to finding love and a killer on the loose makes this book a perfect romantic suspense.

I am a huge fan of Maureen Smith and i was so excited to read this book. I was not dissapointed. Being able to tie in all the characters and families from the other books and give a good story with suspense, great mystery and beautiful love story was awesome. I very much recommend this book to readers.

This book is simple awesome! It was great visiting with previous characters. This book will keep you guessing! I was wrong several times. This book will not disappoint. You truley have a gift for this genre.
