4.5 - "Even liars can tell the truth sometimes..." Stars!
As soon as I finished Don’t Trust A Killer I was desperate for Cynthia to give Remy his own book. Thankfully she has and book two in the Dark Sins series; Don’t Love A Liar gives us that, all wrapped in a heart-stopping, adrenaline pumping story-line.
"I’ve wanted you from the beginning. And the desire I feel has nothing to do with the job…"
Kennedy Clarke is a woman on the edge, seemingly living a perfect life, with wealth, health and happiness. That all comes grinding to a halt when her twin brothers fiancée is murdered by the Broken Doll Killer and her brother Kyle is suspected of the murder as well as a number of others. With Kyle missing, the spotlight falls on her, and not in a good way.
"Women are dead… And you are right in the middle of everything."
Remy happens to be in the right place at the right time, and what initially starts as a P.I./Client relationship soon morphs into more. But all is not on the up-and-up when it comes to the story Remy has spun to make himself indispensable to Kennedy, and as that starts to unravel between them, it’s also clear the killer has set his sights on Kennedy, which turns Remy all uber-alpha.
"I want you safe. I want you happy. I want a chance with you. A chance for you to know the man I can be…"
This book had so many twists, turns, shocks and surprises that I almost had whip lash at the end. Cynthia took the plot and ran with it in many directions, I loved it because at the end they all tied back up together, and it wasn’t until the big reveal that I had an inkling as to who was actually the villain.
The case had just taken a turn he hadn’t expected…
A really enjoyable read, it was good to spend a little more time with Kace Quick as well, and I hope against hope that the author now gives Kyle Clarke a book, there is definitely more to his story.
"I will keep you safe.."
Oh man! This book had me on the edge the whole time. I switched from one suspect to another and back again. Yeah, at one point I had it right but I didn’t KNOW if I was right until the very end. Add in all the romance, the steam and a bit of relationship angst and holy heck! It was perfect!
Kennedy was a heroine who is fragile and broken. Her past has not been kind to her in any aspect of her life. Now she’s the center of speculation and gossip. Her home is a cold isolated place that offers no comfort or peace from her troubles. And then, in one moment, across a ball room, she meets the eyes of a stranger. While that might seem a tad overdone in romance, what follows is far from your average romantic development.
Remy lives a life of lies. It’s what he does because he’s so good at it. It is imperative that he find an “in” with his next target. Women are dying and she is the key to finding the man responsible. However, he was not expecting to feel such a rush of desire when her eyes meets his. And he definitely wasn’t expecting to feel so protective of her.
I absolutely LOVED Remy and Kennedy. Remy was completely swoon worthy as emotions he didn’t know he possessed rise up to choke him. There were moments that my own breath caught as he processed what his feelings toward Kennedy were. Even when he didn’t understand them himself, he never wavered from his need to protect her. Gah! I loved every moment in his head!
While Kennedy initially appeared weak, ultimately, she is a survivor. As this story played out I realized that she was actually the strongest of them all. Her actions are anything but weak and I loved how her character builds throughout the book.
This is a fast paced read with incredible secondary characters. Some have already had their story told and others I’m hoping for more. The chemistry between Remy and Kennedy is intense and while there is some angst between them at one point, it isn’t the focus of the story and it doesn’t last long. While this doesn’t have an official epilogue, it has an amazing ending that brought a lump to my throat even as it left me with a smile on my face.
This is definitely a book I’ll recommend again and again.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided by NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Kennedy is rich and her twin brother is considered a monster. He is suspected of being the Broken Doll killer. They pulled his car out of the Mississippi but don’t know if he’s dead or hiding. Remy needs to get close to her to find out if she’s hiding her brother. He says he’s a private investigator and will help or find her brother or prove his innocence. When they figure out she’s the one the killer is really after, Remy will do anything to keep her safe. He’s tired of the lies especially if he could lose the woman he has ever loved.
This is a super awesome story. It will leave you breathless and hanging on to the edge of your seat. Sexy, suspense and fast paced action. I received this from BookFunnel and voluntarily read and reviewed it.
Remy St. Clair, FBI agent undercover tasked to get close to Kennedy Clarke. Remy is known to do anything he can to solve a case. Getting close to a beautiful woman will be easy, except he didn't plan on falling for her.
Kennedy Clarke, twin sister to a man who everyone is accusing of being the broken doll killer. She knows her brother is innocent. Finding someone willing to help her clear his name hasn't been easy until she meets Remy. What she doesn't know is that he isn't who she thinks he is.
If you have read Don't Trust A Killer, then you have already met Remy when he was an undercover agent trying to find evidence against Kace. Kace was a club owner accused of being a crime lord. Remy is used to leading a double life and thought Kennedy would be just another case.
Once again the author did a fabulous job of leading the reader on a merry chase to find a killer. It was never clear who was really behind the killings and she showcased a few people who it could be. I like that she made us work for the answer. I must admit I was still switching my choice all the way up to the end.
Even though Remy was lying to Kennedy about who he was, his feelings for her were very, real. We got to see these two as a couple early on and Remy was very protective on her. Kennedy was a sweet character. She loves her brother and just wanted to clear his name.
I'm pretty curious who will be the next couple in the series and what new suspense the author will bring us. Maybe FBI Agent Joshua?
Remy StClair has been a lot of things, a criminal a thief and a liar. Now he has to get close to Kennedy Clarke. People think Kennedy’s brother Kyle is a serial killer. He has disappeared but officials think Kennedy may know more than she is telling. There is an immediate attraction between Remy and Kennedy when they meet, but Kennedy isn’t quite what Remy is expecting. The more time he spends with her the deeper he becomes personally involved. When his job is over and Kennedy finds out the truth will he lose her.
This is a good suspense book with lots of twists and turns. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy. I hope to read more books by this author.
