Whittier writes a pretty good romantic suspense. If you’re looking for a good thrill that will keep you guessing, Fatal Embrace is a great read! Michael has spent most of his life dealing with loss. As an adult he owns and operates a very successful ranch that holds riding lessons for disabled children.
Unfortunately there is a serial rapist killer terrifying the area that Michael lives in. Known as the best of the best of detectives, his good friend Dan asks for his assistance with the case. He doesn’t think he can solve it without Michael’s help. Enter Jessica Stanson. She becomes Michael’s replacement while he’s working the case. She’s also living in his house instead of the foreman’s bunk he set up before he left on business. She insinuates herself in Michael’s life and before he knows it, he’s looking forward to the little things to make him smile.
Jessica too knows a little something about loss. Her family is tight knit because of that and she misses them. Jessica looks to make friends during her stay on the ranch. She doesn’t expect to meet a man that steals her breath. As it turns out, Jessica may be a bigger help to Michael than he originally thought.
Whittier kept me intrigued through the book and I continually tried to figure out who the bad guy was. I thought that I had thought of everyone and I still didn’t have a clue how it was going to end. Well, the ending was a real surprise to me and a pretty great plot twist. For $2.99, Fatal Embrace is a great way to introduce yourself to a new author and a great story line!
