This book amazed me. It has an ongoing suspense, you know something is going to happen but when. There is a good description of the characters.
It is a little dark and it has an alpha male and a strong woman. It is easy to read.
I could not put it down and I loved the the atmosphere of the small town.
I am definitely going to read more of Jerry Alexander’s books. I like them.
No one writes complicated stalkers better than Jerrie!!
When Erin finds drugs in a students bag and reports her to the Principal, the girl and her friends start a smear campaign, one that could lose Erin her job as counsellor. She’s looking down a deep dark hole before her adoptive father ropes in some mighty fine, muscled help.
Rafe knows Erin from school but she crushed him when he went out on a limb to ask her to prom and she rebuffed him strongly and publicly. After being away from home working undercover with the FBI for years, he finally returns after the death of his father. When his dad’s old partner asks for his help he leaps into the fray.
As the story unfolds we clearly see Erins stalker meting out his own brand of justice to those he holds accountable for Erins distress. But as Erin and Rafe get closer, his tenuous hold on reality is snapping and the rollercoaster ride of a finale is astonishingly brilliant!
Complicated, long held grudges by both Rafe and Erin led to a decade of resentment and hurt. Rafe learns that his late brother was also involved in hurting Erin and that he more ties than he thought to his old home town. With lots of hunky men to drool over, you also get to see glimpses of futures book to come (pls Jerrie??) Especially Luke, Linc and Colton.
The first of the new Killer Affections series and it bursts off the page with a bang! Casanova is a fully formed nut and we get glimpses of his reasoning and his warped interpretation of his interactions with Erin.
A romantic suspense with plenty of sexy Agents and a creepy stalker who thinks nothing of murdering those wronging his obsession no matter their age.
FBI Agent Rafe Sirilli has taken a leave of absence to come back to his hometown to take care of his father’s estate after his death. He hasn’t been back in a long time due to bad memories. He is not back long before one his father best friends ask him if he could help his adopted daughter who has just been accused of killing one of her students..
Erin Brady decided to devote her life to helping teens after her horrendous childhood before she was adopted. She is devastated after being accused of something horrible by one the students she counsels at the local high school. She ends up suspended when that student is brutally murdered. With Erin being the number one suspect she reluctantly agrees to letting the man that broke her heart in high school protect her especially when its not long before there is another murder and it becomes obvious the murderer has an obsession with Erin.
Right from the opening grisly scene we get plenty of time in the killer/stalkers head. We know that Erin is in a lot more danger before Rafe and all the other law enforcement that’s brought in do but that didn’t take away from the suspense. The chemistry between Rafe and Erin was off the charts.
There were lots of secondary characters that I hope will be getting their own books in the future. This was a perfect blend of suspense and smoking romance and as always I look forward to more from this author.
