A hot construction company owner, a gorgeous, rich heiress with sass, brains and gumption, and a boatload of suspense make FATAL EVIDENCE, the third installment of the Love on the Line series by Lyrical Underground author Kari Lemor, another page turner!

Neither the hero nor the heroine, Scott Holland and Heather Silva, like coming in second or not being the boss. Both of them are hard working individualists with things to prove to themselves and to others. When they are forced to work together on a project that turns out to be more than either of them expected, Fatal Evidence turns into a hurry-up and get to the ending suspense and mystery as the two are forced to depend upon one another more than they ever thought they would – or could. Forced to rely on the other, is it any wonder they don’t start developing feelings for one another? And by feelings, I mean the wantyou/needyou/loveyou kind that make a good romance a great one!

I simply adore how Lemor constructs her characters. She’s so good at making them seem real, that I can actually hear their individual voices in my head when I’m reading the dialogue – no small feat, that! And can I just say swoooooon about Scott Holland! Yowza. He can come build anything he wants in my backyard!!

This book can be read as a standalone, but why would you? If this is your first Love on the Line book, do yourself a favor and go back and read the others, RUNNING TARGET (book1) and WILDCARD UNDERCOVER (book2). But if you have already read them and loved them, you won’t want to miss adding this one to your TBR pile.

I can only hope there are more Love on The Line books coming soon. I’m already in Lemor withdrawal!

Thank you to Netgalley and Lyrical Press for the opportunity to read FATAL EVIDENCE in exchange for an honest opinion.

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Scott Holland wants the rundown mill that's up for sale, but the only way he's going to be able to secure it is to become partners with heiress Heather Silva. Investing together should be easy enough, but it appears someone is looking to cause trouble for the pair with the site plagued with mysterious incidents. Yet, with the danger closing in on them and Scott being wary of Heather's privileged background, will he be able to let go of the past to achieve happy ever after with the woman he's falling in love with; or will they lose their chance at happiness because of a grisly discovery that could paint a huge target on both their backs?

Ms. Lemor's writing just keeps getting more and more impressive, and with this third book of her Love on the Line series, she takes the series to another level with an amazing amount of edge-of-your-seat suspense and sizzling romance that left me wanting more of Scott and Heather, as each incident becomes more and more terrifying. Will the hero and heroine give up on their investment or will they fight back against the person determined to keep them away from the rundown mill they're looking to renovate?

The way this story started had me liking the hero's reaction to the heroine, as he's not expecting her to be where he is and he's determined to discover what she's up to. Will Heather admit the truth? Will Scott be able to handle her answer? However, it was from the moment the hero and heroine came face-to-face for the first time in this story that had me completely hooked, as Scott and Heather have quite the interesting history with what they've been through with his cousin and her best friend in the previous book of this series that had them calling a truce, even though Scott is wary of the fact that Heather is a rich girl and he's had more than enough of wealthy people in his life, especially with what happened with his previous girlfriend and what happened to his family that landed him going to live with his aunt and uncle.

As for the dialogue, it was well-written; highly entertaining; and a wonderful combination of intense moments because of all the hero and heroine go through in this book because of the trouble someone is causing for them and teasing banter that had me absolutely charmed by this couple's growing relationship as the heroine does her best to win the hero's trust and the hero does his best to fit into her world and do everything he can to protect her from the person determined to hurt them. Moreover, both the main characters are incredible and I loved how this author proved without a shadow of a doubt that opposites really do attract and that no obstacle can keep them apart.

With Heather, she's resilient, courageous, worked hard to be the independent woman she is and I liked how determined she was to prove once and for all to her parents that she doesn't need their wealth to be successful or happy. I also liked that she was just as protective of Scott as he was of her, which is proven by everything they go through that has Heather willing to be by Scott's side every step of the way including the moment he's accused of something terrible and lands somewhere he shouldn't have ended up. Yet, what I liked most of all about the heroine was her stubbornness and her absolute determination to win the hero's trust. Will Scott ever be able to fully trust Heather? Will Scott ever be seen as good enough for Heather by the people that matter most to her?

While Scott, he's been through so much in his past with always feeling second best and I could understand why he feels threatened by his cousin when it comes to the family business and what it could mean for him now that his cousin has taken his rightful place in the company. I also liked how strong and brave the hero was in handling everything thrown at him, no matter how difficult the situation he lands in is for him to deal with because of things that happened to him in his past. Yet, what I liked most of all about the hero is the hero's determination to protect the heroine and that he did everything he could to make sure she comes out on top against the battle they face with the bad guy. What will Scott do to make sure Heather doesn't become a killer's next victim?

Overall, Ms. Lemor has delivered an utterly captivating and intense read in this book where the secondary characters entertained me just as much as the main ones; the chemistry between this couple was powerful; the romance explodes onto the pages with plenty of sizzle once the heroine stops fighting the fact that their business partners and shouldn't get involved; and the ending was a tad nail-biting because of what the main characters go through. Will they get out of the terrible situation they find themselves in? Will they get the chance to see the bad guy behind bars for what he's done in the past and for all the trouble he's caused the hero and heroine? However, it was the last chapter that wrapped this story up perfectly, as Scott is determined to prove to Heather how much he wants her in his life. I would recommend Fatal Evidence by Kari Lemor, if you enjoy romantic suspense, the opposites attract trope, or books by authors AJ Nuest, Allison B. Hanson, Michelle Hauf and Laura Griffin.

4.5- Heather and Scott have been attracted to each other for a long time, once they act on it though what happens? This book continues telling Scott and Heather's story, and it is full of twists and turns, suspense and romance. This was a fun and engaging book to read and I really enjoyed it. Thank you for allowing me to read this and write about it honestly.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

This was book three in a series and there was enough description that I did not feel like I was missing anything because I have not read the previous books. Those couples did sound interesting and now I want to read about them - especially Jack and Callie. Wow, Jack was on the run and could not be there when Callie was pregnant with his child - that sounds like it will be fun to read!

Heather and Scott had been in a pretend relationship to help out Callie and Jack but now there is more than pretend emotions going on and after a night of hot sex, Scott is ready for more and Heather is avoiding him.

They have to start getting along when the building that they both want to buy is auctioned for more than either one of them can afford so they become partners. This is a wild ride as they grow closer and give in to their attraction but along the way there is trouble.

The beginning troubles are just annoyances but that shifts when things start blowing up and they escape two attempts on their life. The false rape/assault charges against Scott were hard to read when his three day stay in the jail was described. As well as the attack on Heather, but Jian's gang came to the rescue.

Good thing that they has a great group of friends to help them out - lawyers, cops, FBI, and even a gang leader. Towards the end, I kind of suspected who might be behind the trouble but did not have a clue what was hiding in the basement and the culprit's motives.

I could hardly put the book down as it was just non-stop action or romance! I refrained from skipping to the end to see who was guilty as the building up was just perfect, and I wanted to see the story line play out without reading ahead.

The ending was great and now I want to know what Callie had - a girl or a boy! Plus, there are three bachelors who need to find someone. Looking forward to the next book in this series.

fatal evidence picks up the story of scott holland and heather silva, who we met in running target. for years scott and heather pretended to be in a fake relationship in order to allow scott's cousin, jack, and heather's best friend, callie, opportunities to see each other. in that time they only gave into their attraction once, and a year later neither of them has moved on from it.

when the chance to purchase a bundle of land brings them together, they are both reluctant to follow through on it. but they both have a lot riding on the land development, and combining their ideas would likely benefit them both. except there is that pesky attraction.

as accidents and delays beleaguer their project, heather and scott come to realize that it's impossible to ignore chemistry like theirs. there is no other way to face the danger they're in other than by staying together. because as much as they want the other person to be safe, they also can't imagine being separated. for scott this means getting over his hang-ups regarding heather's wealth. and heather has to get over the fact that being independent doesn't mean you have to shun human companionship.

i really enjoyed scott and heather's story. this series is the perfect blend of suspense and dread and sweet emotion. i'm hoping we'll get more since drew and nick and others look like they can use their own stories.

**fatal evidence will publish on december 5, 2017. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/kensington books (lyrical undergrouns) in exchange for my honest review.

I read a lot of dark romantic suspense and occasionally look for something more lighthearted as a change of pace. Kari Lemor’s FATAL EVIDENCE (the 3rd book in the Love on the Line series, though it can be read as a standalone: I hadn’t read either of the previous books and was not lost) was that change of pace for me, and reminded me why I stick to more substantive fare. It’s not that FATAL EVIDENCE is bad per se, it’s just… inane. The suspense subplot is over-the-top and unbelievable, and clearly simply there to try to prop up an otherwise-enjoyable/ happy-go-lucky contemporary romance. Not a terrible way to pass a handful of hours, but if you’re looking for something with more substance, definitely look elsewhere.

Really cute story, I loved the banter between the H and h

Take a bit of proving what he or she can do, eyes on the same prize, denial of a mutual attraction, and suspenseful unexplained accidents and you have a delightful romantic novel. Can two people work together successfully and get the job done? Read and find out about Scott and Heather's experience of the day, week, or month.

Fatal Evidence has the right amount of everything I love in a book: mystery, suspense, intrigue, sexual chemistry, family drama and great friendships. Throw in an heiress turned real estate agent trying to get out from under her rich family and her entitled role and add a blue-collared construction worker with a chip on his shoulder and it's perfect.

Scott Holland and Heather Silva you should remember from the other books in this series and it was great they got their own story. There is only so much pretending one can do when there is so much sexual chemistry that it soon becomes real- Scott and Heather are no longer pretend. Heather worries she feels too much for Scott and pulls away while Scott has a bad taste in his mouth about a previous relationship and feels Heather too will look down on his lower economic and social status.

Thrown together as partners on a project they both had to have, Scott and Heather soon find themselves in the crosshairs of some lunatic trying to destroy not only their efforts of rebuilding an abandons warehouse but also in destroying them. The guessing game and the cat and mouse chase make for a great whodunit. While both Scott and Heather are fighting for their business venture, as well as their lives, they soon find battling their growing feelings difficult amongst all the chaos.

Enjoyed all the books in this series so far and loved the hint at the next to follow.

Fatal Evidence, is a very fast pace book. There is so much going on, the chemistry between Scott and Heather and all the ways that their project is being sabotaged. Some of them were quite inventive. They are very different, but can work together when it counts.
