I Would Live For You…
Deep in the wood, a
runner takes long strides, satisfied that at last she’s on the right path.
She’s done what she had to do, and she’ll make the best of her second chance.
She’ll live by the motto on her t-shirt: life is good. Only when the surprise
visitor with the familiar face steps from the cover of tall trees, does she
learn something else: life is also short…
I Would Die For You…
Camryn Bruce can’t
believe her best friend has been brutally murdered. Now Camryn is the guardian
of her precious little girl, Kylie. To Camryn, Kylie is like a gift, the
daughter she could never have. But other people want Kylie, too. And someone
will do anything to get her – lie, cheat, steal, and worse. So much worse…
I Would Kill For You…
Dan Lambert may only
have married Kylie’s mother to help her out, but that doesn’t change the love
he feels for the little girl who has always called him “Daddy.” He won’t
abandon Kylie, and if that means getting into Camryn’s life, so be it. He
hadn’t counter on the hunger she’d awaken in him, a passion he never thought
he’d find again – a happiness that could be short-lived. Someone is waiting,
watching…wanting. Someone whose dark passions will not be denied. And Dan’s
protections may not be enough to stop a twisted killer from getting close
enough to kill…
Without A Word is a story with murder, mystery,
intrigue, sex and love. Sounds confusing right? Actually it’s a very simple
story that’s easy to read. The only real mystery was who killed Kylie’s mom,
Holly. That is answered for the audience later but the characters don’t
actually get that answer.
Let me run over the key elements and see if I can sum up the
story. Murder = Holly gets killed and then there is a fight about who will get
custody of Kylie; best friend Camryn, step-dad Dan, grandfather, or biological
father. Mystery = Holly’s murderer is out there and someone shoots a gun into
Camryn’s kitchen. Intrigue = biological father (Adam) slept with Holly, Gina,
and Camryn (best friends) when they were younger and somehow they can’t seem to
resist him. Sex = Camryn and Dan. Love = Camryn and Dan. Can you pick out the
main characters yet? ;)
Alright the idea behind the story is good. It keeps the
reader interested. Telling the truth, I read this book quickly. It’s easy to
read and it keeps you interested to know who is doing what and for what
reasons. There is a few subplots that is integral to the story but they seem to
enhance rather than detract from the major plot going on.
The sex in this book is good. It’s downplayed so it’s not
‘erotic’ but it’s still more descriptive than something you would find in a
generic romance novel. I refer to generic romance novels not in a derogatory
way but that they are more about the romance and less about the sex. Not a bad
thing, but when looking at the sex factor they seem to be lacking.
In the end I think this is a good book. I recommend renting
it from the library (if you can get a hold of it). I don’t know if I would read
it more than twice. Still it’s good enough for me to rate 3.25 stars.
