Mostly just skimmed through this one--it has so many pages just about a sex scene, 6-8 at one time is way too much and I don't read a book for that, so I found a lot of these pages unnecessary to the story so I just skimmed pages for the main story and zipped right through it, can't give it better than a 2.5 stars though.
I was actually able to read the first in this series,Deadly Fear, and I really enjoyed it. So I was expecting quite a bit from this one. I have to say I was not disappointed. Cynthia has an ability to really get into the head of a killer. And while her ability is sometimes a bit creepy, it makes for an awesome story!
I like that this story follows one of the characters from the first story. Although Kenton wasn't the main character in the first book he did play a part and so he was a "familiar face" so to speak. But in addition to the "old" characters Eden does a great job of adding new characters to the mix.
The story, like Deadly Fear, is a bit on the disturbing side. But it's a great read. This one really keeps you guessing. I actually had guessed who it was early in the story, but then other things kept happening and I changed my guess a few times. I love when a book does that.
This was also a very fast read. The writing style and pace of the story are done so well that I got so caught up in the story it only took me two sittings to finish the whole thing.

Lora, a firefighter, calls in the SSD when she suspects they have a serial arsonist. She also lost her firefighter boyfriend in one of the arsonist's blazes. It's become personal for her. Kenton, is one of the agents assigned to the case.
I did like the beginning, Lora saves Kenton. Lora is pretty kick ass and holds her own with Kenton (who is also a pretty big alpha). I liked the pacing and while this is pretty insta-love, I did like the epilogue that showed the relationship was taking a big stride forward. The couple from the other book (Monica and Luke) also make a big stride in their relationship (it's a blink and miss it, but this isn't their book).
This book is a pretty good example of good romantic suspense. The romance is front and center with the suspense taking a backseat, but it's not way in the back (make sense?). The suspense is still a good part of the story.

This book was awesome, sucked me in right from the very start. I like that the heroine is a firefighter, I don't see many of those in books so it was nice to have a heroine that wasn't a baker or dress maker or teacher or cop or... whatever. There is a lot of sex in this book, it seemed as if there was a sex scene every two chapters, and after a while it did get old and I started to skim through it. But still a really awesome book.
There is something about Eden's books that sucks me in and I can't seem to put down. Both Kenton and Lora were strong and captivating. It was like a really good James Patterson suspense but sexy. Well worth the read. It helps if you have read the series because there are visits from the other characters but not necessary.
love cynthia eden's books! fast paced loved hoe it all came together.now how about a book for lake's book mr. hyde?
I believe this is the first book I've read by Ms. Eden. Had to force myself to put it down for bed. Wasn't easy figuring out who the bad guy was, I'll definitely look for more by this author.
