I am having a quiet day of family, laundry and just chillin..... So I decided to start tellin y'all about some of the FABULOUS books I read in Jamaica...........
From the prologue, I was sucked in.............I love murder and mayhem with romance..... I read a lot of romantic suspense. I was really impressed with this book and can not wait for the next.... As I said, the prologue introduces us to the main players in the story. She does so fast and furiously..... You meet Anna Pallino, her boyfriend, Dante and his "brothers". The boys are in foster care.... Of course there is a drama..... Did I mention Anna's dad is a cop! Fast forward to present day, Anna is now a police officer, a Detective, it's been 12 years. She is nothing like the teenager Dante knew. And they have not seen each other since that fateful night.......
The Heart of a Killer
Book One in The Killer Series
No one said coming home would be easy. But for Dante Renaldi, it's murder.
Before the Special Forces hero has even unpacked his bags from twelve years of active duty, he's embroiled in murder—corpses bearing the brutal trademark he's seen only once before—on the worst night of his life.
The last time Detective Anna Pallino saw Dante Renaldi, they were in love. Now, he's part of the connection to a string of fresh homicides and a horrible assault Anna only survived thanks to him.
More than anything, Anna wants to trust Dante. But as the bodies and the coincidences stack up, Anna will have to decide, and fast: Is the man she owes her life to the very same one who wants her dead?
There is nothing like sitting by the pool, sippin a dirty banana reading a FABULOUS book. I was so engrossed I was ignoring the friends we went with. LOL, they all know how I love my books.....They were crackin up because I still managed to read 5 books. Not an easy task when you travel with friends..... If you are looking for a fast paced, fun read then I would check out this book..... I am looking forward to the next....
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
XXOOXX

Dante, Gabe, Roman, and Jeff were all foster brothers who in there teens lived with George and Ellen Clemons. They were all friends with Anna Pallino. Anna and Dante were dating and in love. One night Anna is assaulted and the 4 guys beat on the attacker and kill him. Anna's father is a police officer and she tells the boys to run and that she would handle it with her father. Twelve years later we find Dante coming back to town for the first time since that fateful night for George and Ellen 25th wedding anniversary. Right off the bat another murder occurs in the same alley that Anna was attacked in. There are many more murders before the book is over. This was a very good suspense story and Jaci kept you wondering until the end who did it.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first book in her Killer Series - which she clearly states is a non-erotic romantic suspense series. These are my favorite type series. I hope Gabe's story is up next so we can find out what he is really doing being a part of the Bertucci Mob family.
I LOVE how you some it all up without giving it away..... I am going to get better at this....lol
DeleteI too hope that Gabe's story is next.....
Sounds fabulous! Another one for the TBR pile, dear.
ReplyDeleteLordy, I'm gonna have to stop listening to you--I keep adding books, and when I'm reading I'm *not* writing....
I love Jaci Burton! I geeked out on her when I saw her in New York. I think I scared her!
ReplyDeleteDAYUM, this looks good...
