Blind Date

I’m worried about Bella Jewel. This author has a deep, dark, twisted mind. Hartley has just started dating again after the death of her husband. It hasn’t been going very well. When she finally makes a connection with a sweet even tempered man, she also begins a hate relationship with her next door neighbor. He’s rude, moody, and the most un-neighborly individual she has ever met. The only good thing is when it looks like Hartley might be losing her mind, he’s there to help her out. I loved Ace’s broody attitude and his big bulky body. The way he stepped in when things started going south for Hartley. Hartley made a couple of stupid and ridiculous decisions that didn’t lead to anything happening but that I thought was out of character for someone being hunted by a serial killer. I did love her strength though when the going got tough. Both of these individuals have significant loss in their lives but they both believe there can be more than one love in a person’s life. I never felt that either of their characters took second place to their previous love. While I don’t think this book had as much as a shock and surprise factor as the previous books, Ms. Jewel can write a scary psycho scene that will chill your blood. Add in a little romance and you’ve got yourself a winner. ARC provided by NetGalley Mostly heroine’s POV with just a scene or two in Ace’s No other woman drama – other man doesn’t really cause any drama Potential triggers – This is about a serial killer who targets Hartley. While nothing of a sexual nature takes place, there is violence. Epilogue – no real epilogue and nothing to let us know what happens with this couple in the future.

Good read
