I have been looking forward to Emme and Bren’s story after obvious sexual tension between them in Flame and Fury. Having experienced the impressive writing of Cecy Robson on several occasions, I went into Touch of Evil with high expectations and she did not disappoint.
Emme has always been the shy and quiet one among her sisters. Her compassionate nature complemented her gift of healing. However, she struggled with low self-esteem, which intensified as she watched her sisters find their mates and she remained single. She would do anything to have someone to call her own, but with her poor dating record, that may prove difficult.
Touch of Evil revealed a side of Emme I never expected, bold, mighty and fierce. It goes to show one should never underestimate the quiet ones.
I enjoyed reading Brenn’s POV. The statements spewing from his lips had me laughing for most of the story. I also had fun with the interactions between him and Emme. I thought they complemented each other. Despite seeing this funny side to him, there was a lot I still did not know about him. Mysterious and hot, that is Brenn for you. I can’t wait to unravel that mystery.
Earlier, I mentioned the sexual tension between the main characters highlighted in Flame and Fury, well the reason for it came to light in this story.
I had a wonderful time with this book. The action, mystery and suspense had me flipping the pages. My only complaint, I needed more of this couple.
Conclusion/Recommendation
In Touch of Evil, Robson delivered a story which mixed action with humour, mystery and romance culminating into an addictive read.
