Description

Someone to watch over Rose.

Losing her husband in a small plane crash last year has forced Rose to get on with her life. But when a storm rolls in, her world is shattered with the discovery of a body buried deep within her own walls. Now, as all fingers point in her direction, a mistress steps out of the shadows, along with a dark family scandal that might shed some light on motive. As people around her drop like flies, the real killer gets too close, and Rose seeks the help of the police officer who knocked on her door one rainy night a year ago.

Royce Sawyer is the cop who’d had to tell Rose that the love of her life was gone forever. Seeing the pretty blonde’s struggles for the last year has been heart-wrenching, but when everyone starts to suspect the quiet wife has a dark side, Sawyer finds it hard to keep his personal feelings separate from his professional ones, especially when it’s obvious that someone’s out to stop him from getting to the truth.

Twisted Rock is a romantic suspense novel that is heavy on the suspense. Rose fell in love with her husband at the age of ten and now in her mid twenties, she thinks her life is a dream come true. Her world comes crashing down around her when a knock on the door opens to two policemen. With the news of her husband's plane disappearance over the Atlantic, Rose struggles to survive her grief over the next year. Police officer Royce Sawyer steps in as a much needed friend to Rose. He's there to help pick up the pieces when her husband's body is found in her retaining wall and danger seems to be stalking Rose. Rose faces some hard truths about the man she married and finds herself a suspect in his murder as Sawyer brings her heart back to life. As Rose and Sawyer grow closer the violence escalates all around them and the bodies start falling like flies. The story twists and turns as the author takes you down one winding road to only dead end and send the story off into left field for a tale that will leave your jaw dropped and with a sweet HEA.. My voluntary, unbiased review is based upon a review copy from Netgalley.

Someone is watching you. Rose & Isaac had a good life together that was until he disappeared one day. It has taken her a year to move on, she has been busy getting the house sorted and she knows that Isaac would be proud. But everything changes one night Isaac is no longer missing he was in the basement all along. Rose is their main suspect as she was the last person to see him but the two local cops don't believe that she killed him. But how can they prove it? Sawyer knows that he needs to take a step back from his involvement with Rose as he can lose his job but he just can't get enough of her. The punches keep on coming to looks like Isaac was cheating on her and that he has a young son. Rose can't believe that as he loved her and they were happy but all the evidence is pointing in that direction. The mistress will stop at nothing to ruin Rose and she will make sure that she pays for taking her son's father away. But things aren't that simple as Isaac's father has just been arrested and someone is after her. Can Sawyer keep her safe and will Rose find the answers that she is searching for? A really good solid read. I was lucky enough to receive a copy via Netgalley and the publishing house in exchange for my honest review.

With the right amount if wit, romance, drama and mystery, the author has woven a entertaining tale that I happily indulged in over a stormy weekend. One of my favorites of her books so far.

his is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

Whoa, the title kind of gives you a clue about the book - full of twists and turns, you just never can believe anything until the end. I want to be careful and not give away part of the story with spoilers!

Rose really had a shock when her husband died in a plane crash but that is just the start of all the things that get revealed to her. Along the way, she has the help of Royce Sawyer, one of the officers that informed her of her husband's death.

Just when they start acting on their attraction, Rose is accused of murdering her husband and from there, there is one thing after another that is revealed.

I am really glad that at the end, everything was explained from the beginning as there were quite a few side events that connected to the murder and a detailed explanation helped me "see" the whole story.

I enjoy romantic intrigues and this was heavy on the intrigue as Rose and Sawyer had to put their romance on hold while the police were investigating her. After an attack, Sawyer is sidelined which allows them to get back on track with their relationship.

In the end, all is wrapped up and Sawyer and Rose get their HEA.

A new author (for me) to add to my list. An enjoyable mystery and romance that will keep you guessing until the end. Rose Clayton’s husband, Isaac, has died in a small plane crash on his way home to Twisted Rock. She is devastated and doesn’t know how she will recover. Police Officer Royce Sawyer was one of the officers who came to tell her that her husband’s plane was lost in the Atlantic Ocean. Sawyer knows that Rose is struggling to resume her life and continues to help her with the restoration of her home. Overtime, he begins to have feelings for her. Rose is also attracted to Sawyer, but when a body is found in the walls of her home, is she a suspect in the murder? Royce is banned from the investigation as the identity of the body is revealed and others begin to die. Who is the killer and what are their plans for Rose? An intriguing murder mystery with romance between Rose and Sawyer intertwined through the story. I really enjoyed this book and always enjoy finding a new author. I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to give an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)
