I received an advanced reader's copy of Deadlock by Cherrie Lynn from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was the first novel that I had read by Cherrie Lynn, but after reading, she is an author I would look for and in the future.

Overall, I enjoyed this novel and I found it to be well written. From the summary to the last page, I was intrigued and engrossed. The primary characters' romantic start was a little rocky (guy burned by the not-so-good twin is leery of the good twin showing up and asking for his help), but it improved quickly and the main characters' chemistry was believable. The steamy scenes were hot, the drama was engrossing, and the plot moved along. It was an enjoyable read!

Wow! This novel grabbed me from the very first page and kept me hooked until the very last page. I loved the Jace - he's the perfect brooding and reluctant hero. Lindsey and Lena are interesting characters - I loved the twist that identical twins added to the story. Lindsey is a kind and gentle soul that is dragged into a situation she doesn't understand when her sister, Lena, went missing. When Lindsey starts following the clues Lena left, she encounters Jace and their reluctant partnership begins. What follows is a quickly moving tale that is tightly woven and kept me turning pages just as quickly as possible. Additionally, I loved the romantic energy between Jace and Lindsey.

If you enjoy romantic suspense, you will love this book. While it's the first book I've read by this author, it won't be the last. I'm adding her to my must read authors' list and am already looking forward to the next book in the series. (This is a stand alone novel.)
