Wanted

Second in the series, WANTED is fine as a stand-alone. This was a new author for me, so I wasn't sure what I was getting. Romantic Suspense is touch and go for me. What I find most common is a lot of sex and very little story. WANTED is different .... the intimate moments actually add to the story. Rick is a former marine. now working for the sheriff's department in his home town. Whitney is his best friend and has been since they were young children. Secretly, Whitney has been in love with Rick for years, but has never made a move in that direction. There are things that she has done ... things she's deeply ashamed of. When the town's 'bad boy' is found murdered, all eyes look at his ex ... Whitney. Rick is caught between a rock and a hard place. He knows she's hiding something, but he sure doesn't want to arrest her for murder. Rick is another damaged soul. He's lived through terrible things while in the Marines and he doesn't feel he can offer anyone anything. But as he investigates the murder, he draws closer and closer to Whitney. I like strong characters .. the ones who strive to be better, not only for someone else, but also for themselves. Rick and Whitney are both strong. I liked watching them take small steps toward each other. I could see the hesitation, the fear they would be judged by the other. All in all, a good read. One murder turns into three murders and the ending was exciting. Definitely worth the time reading. My thanks to NetGalley / Entangled Publishing for supplying an ARC to read in exchange for an honest review.

I thought this was an amazing story! While it can easily be read stand alone, it is definitely more enjoyable if you've read Convicted, the first in the series. In this book we get to know Whitney Peterson, Rick Trelane's lifelong friend. Now it seems he wants her as much more than a friend but she has secrets. Secrets Rick can't let lie. Will they be able to get past all the obstacles in their in way?? This was a tough one to put down once I started it! Great writing, characters, and a story filled with mystery and suspense had me turning page after page. You will want to put this one high on the tbr pile. I highly recommend it.

The one book that I have read by author Dee Tenorio did not prepare me for this. I have never read Dee Tenorio suspense writer. I have read Dee Tenorio contemporary romance author. Wanted is a suspenseful, mystery, thriller romance. Surprises around every corner, a little romance thrown in and a lot of adventure. I received an ARC of Wanted in exchange for an honest review. If you love action filled mystery suspense you will love it.
