Review – Dangerous Secrets

February 9, 2010 By Michael

When state homicide detective Ridge Matthews shows up in Winfield, it throws Sylvie Patterson off-kilter. Sure, she had a crush on Ridge when they were kids. But that’s all in the past, right?

Before she can come to grips with Ridge’s presence, Sylvie stumbles upon her cousin Ginger’s dead body. The ransacked apartment and suspicious activities that follow force Sylvie to lean on Ridge – whom she knows plans to leave Winfield as soon as the case is solved.

Ridge fights his growing feelings for Sylvie, but can’t seem to resist her charm. When the local sheriff cooks up a plan to use Sylvie as bait for the murderer, Ridge puts his foot down and his feelings on the line.

Will God protect them both?

Hang on tight – Lyn Cote takes readers on an exciting thrill ride in this Love Inspired Suspense.

Strong writing and carefully-laid clues will keep the reader guessing who-dun-it until the end of this book. Cote also crafts a fabulous sense of setting without loading the reader down in too much description.

Cote’s hero and heroine are easy to identify with, and sympathetic because of their scarred pasts. Their struggles are real and it makes the romance element come through even stronger.

This is a great read with just one warning: if you pick it up, you won’t want to put it down until it’s over!
