Sidney Halston breaks into the world of Romantic Suspense with Kiss Marry Kill and she dominated this genre. The story follows Megan, a now famous singer, and Jax, war veteran and now security expert. The two had a whirlwind four day affair years ago, before Jax deployed but never spoke again. Until now when Jax heard Megan is in danger and knows he has to step in to help her. Old feelings come to the surface the second they see each other again, but there's someone out there that wants Megan dead and Jax needs to keep his focus on this unknown enemy, not the girl he wishes he never left.
This book was so much more than Romantic Suspense, it was sweet and sexy, and I just couldn't get enough once I started. I loved how there was so much involved in the story that had me captivated. The underlying mystery was always there, just waiting for me to solve it, but more than that, the romance between Jax and Megan was a huge part of this and I loved how well those two things worked together.
There are moments that go back in time to when Jax and Megan first met, but they aren't often so they don't get annoying or anything like that. Those moments really helped to see how different these characters were form when they were first discovering each other. We then got to see them discovering each other all over again in the present and i really liked that we could tell the differences in them, but still see that connection they shared in both the past and the present.
I, of course, won't say anything about the mystery that will give it away, but I will say to prepare yourself. This may be Ms. Halston's first Romantic Suspense but she did the mystery and suspense spectacularly well and you would think she's a seasoned RS author. I definitely recommend this book, and I would tell anyone I knew to read it, no matter what genres they like. The great thing about this story is that it's not just suspense, and it's not just a sexy romance, it's all of that!
It's been a long time since I have read Sidney Halston- but her writing and suspenseful story lines never fall to grab me from the start and hold my attention the entire book!
Sometimes flashbacks in books and story lines are hard for me to follow- I lose focus easy and I find myself confused. Thankfully Sidney Halston did a great job of keeping that from happening!
I can't wait to read more from this author.
The first few pages had me hooked!! Now I'll say that I'm not normally one who enjoys the flashbacks to the past every few chapters but the author works them marvelously and it sort of broke up some of the slower parts of the story, not that there were many. I really loved Jack and Megan...I mean whewwwwww amazing chemistry and with their back history it makes their connection feel more real. This book has it all suspense, laughs, lusty moments and secondary characters that leave you wanting more, I don't think you'll be disappointed with this read at all; I know I wasn't.
