Summary:
Uncovering secrets and exposing truth are all in a day’s work for private investigator Sterling Aegar. But when her latest case threatens to reveal her own buried feelings for an old love, Sterling runs for cover.
A body in the bathtub and pleas from a jilted wife to find her wayward husband mean a welcome break from the usual humdrum cases Sterling and her sister, Lacey, are called to investigate. But when Sterling’s old flame, Detective Ben Kirby, walks into the murder scene, she feels her world spin out of control. Danger from thugs and murderers poses no greater threat than the peril she’d suffer if she lets daredevil Ben get too close.
Seeing Sterling for the first time in two years is for Ben like drinking in a healing tonic. He could never forget the way it felt to run his hands over her delicious curves or the way she touched his soul. She remains the one person who can make the emptiness in his gut go away. Finding the murderer is his job, but protecting Sterling from seriously dangerous people is his mission.
As the case unfolds, Sterling and Ben not only solve the murder and locate the missing husband, they confront secrets that set them each free from a painful past.

When I saw Dancing with Detective Danger was going to be touring this month I just had to sign up. This is one that I had recommended to me by a friend and I'd been looking for a way to read it for awhile and I've had good luck with Crimson Romance titles in the past and this one was really great.
I don't usually go for romantic suspense novels but I do like them on occasion especially if they're written as well as Dancing with Detective Danger was. I started reading this one as one of my side reads but that quickly turned into it being my main read at the time it was positively addicting!
I really liked Sterling and Lacey. They both had to deal with two huge losses and managed to turn bad tidings into a profitable private detective agency and the case in this story was written in such a way that it didn't take away from the romance between Ben and Sterling I found that the story was both equal parts suspense and romance and boy oh boy was there some steamy romance.
Ben is a totally swoon worthy love interest for Sterling and the fact that they loved each other so much really showed through the writing and their chemistry was absolutely amazing. I really loved the way they went together because they were just one of those couples that you knew would end up together in he end because they couldn't be themselves with other people.
I found the mystery/suspense aspect of the novel was very well put together. It was totally engrossing and enthralling and for a romantic suspense novel this one really kept me on my toes. The characters were fantastic, the plot was addictive and the writing was superb and I can't wait to read another book by Lynn Crandall.
I would recommend this one to all fans of romantic suspense novels with a darker twist with lots of romance and great writing.

DeleteHow did you get the idea for this book?
ReplyDeleteI was interested in writing about sisters and family, even the sort that is small. And, I love the concept of second chances. It's such a hopeful thing.
