Rejecting her after she gathered the strength to approach him means she’ll never let him get close again.
After losing her husband, the first man to make Detective Rylla Franklin feel anything at all turns her down when she garners the courage to ask him out. Throwing herself into work, she has plenty to keep her busy as she and her partner hunt a serial killer who turns his victims into princesses. When her sister becomes the next victim she’s yanked from the case and with nothing but time on her hands the sexy man she’s been trying to ignore suddenly gets an opening into her life.
Nate Oakland didn’t want to say no when Rylla asked him out, but he knows he’s not good enough for her. He’s tried to explain but she won’t give him the time of day. When Rylla’s sister goes missing, he decides he’s given her enough space, and is determined to not only be there to support her but also to convince her he made a mistake turning her down before and to give him a second chance.
But when Rylla becomes the killer’s next target it’s no longer their losses and doubt that are the biggest threat to their fledgling relationship.
Renee’s Four Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is the story of Rylla and Nate plus a serial killer. Rylla is trying to get back into the world or relationships after losing her husband. It takes her a while to finally work up the courage to ask Nate out and he turns her down she is surprised. He on the other hand realizes his mistake and when he does she wants nothing at all to do with him.. All she wants to do is throw herself into her work and find out who the serial killer is who dresses his victims up like princesses. However when her sister is killed she is pulled from the case and Nate sees this as his chance. These are two people who both want someone to share their lives with but aren’t sure at all if this is the right moment for it to happen. I was not the biggest fan of Nate either. He really got on my nerves as he ran hot and cold and he is super pushy which Rylla needed I guess but good gosh he about drove me nuts. At that point I wanted to know who the killer was more than I wanted these two to get together. I don’t know that I could have put up with these two going back and forth and the super pushy Nate to have finished this book. Most of my rating for this book is for the serial killer. When I say that part of the story was freaking me out I mean what I say. I was so creeped out in fact that I about jumped out of my skin when my daughter spoke and I didn’t even know she was in the room with me at that moment. Talk about scaring a mom to death.
