Right?! It's gotta be the name *g* Srsly,Stacey is refreshingly normal in her reactions, and does things I would expect any sheriff in RL would do. Instead of dropping everything to do something TSTL, she actually uses her brain and her resources. I was very impressed in her as a heroine. Marissa, it's definitely a combination of all those things, rather than just one or two elements. The goriness is more implied than shown, which I can appreciate. But the imagination takes over and paints your own nightmare. I hope you like Marissa. Let me know what you think :) Maria, that was one reason I enjoyed this book so much. Not that I don't love a good sexy love scene, but realistically, it gets old when the h/hn have to stop and get busy because the adrenaline makes it so they can't keep their hands off each other. Not always the case, and this story proves it. The urgency is to track a killer, and in doing so, the characters get to know each other because of it. I'm so glad I have the next 2 books.

I love RS and it's great to find a new series. I appreciate your take on the heroine and I'm looking forward to getting to know these characters. RS can ride the slippery slope of too much violence, it can also get mired in too much technical police jargon and it can also be page after page of the H&H jumping into bed... a good RS is none of these but a combination of action, suspense, thriller and romance (at least for me). I've got this one right on my desk, and now it's being moved into my bag so I can read it today! Thanks for the great review Stacy! I love RS and it’s great to find a new series.

In a romantic suspense novel? *faints* Sounds like it is worth picking up for that alone :) Thank you Stacy! A heroine with common sense?
