BOOK SYNOPSIS:
In one moment, high school teacher and single mother Brooke Davenport interrupts a vicious assault, saves a young woman’s life, and attracts the attention of a serial killer.
Sixteen years ago, Brooke lost her roommate to a brutal murder. Now she teaches women’s self-defense, still trying to heal from the guilt and grief that plague her. Convinced the predator knows his victims and is stalking his prey online, she is determined to find him before he strikes again. Her brother’s friend, Luke has the computer expertise to help. But Brooke’s unexpected desire for Luke complicates her investigation, and her fixation with the case provokes a deadly reaction from the killer.

Injured in terrorist bombing overseas, computer expert Luke Holloway is still haunted by flashbacks of his young assistant’s death in the explosion. But Luke can’t refuse the request of a deployed friend to look after his sister, Brooke. Taking on responsibility for Brooke’s safety threatens Luke’s tenuous recovery, especially after he develops feelings for her that transcend a promise to a friend. When Brooke saves a young girl from a brutal assault and becomes a killer’s obsession, Luke vows to protect her at all costs.

REVIEW:
3.5 Stars Another good book from Melinda. While I was not completely surprised by who the bad guy was. I was surprised by the lengths the killer took to be the sick person that he was.
I am always in awe of suspense authors and how twisted, evil and sick their minds are. I am always amazed at how even when I know (or think I know) what is happening they always keep me on the edge of my seat. Always make me want to keep turning that page. Always give me anxiety while reading their books. Melinda does all of this.
If you love a good romance suspense novella I would highly suggest grabbing one of Melinda’s books. You will never look at a cold dark basement that same.
