Tracey B. said:
This is an entertaining, steamy, well-written, fast paced romantic suspense novel with likable, engaging, mature characters. It has intrigue, small town and family drama, a captivating mystery, a heart-warming romance, and a happily ever after ending. This book is the second entry in Ms. Clarizio’s “The Crime and Passion Stalk City Hall” series, and can easily be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone. I am looking forward to reading the other entries in this series with great anticipation.

Ben Deprez is a city street sweeper and he sees all kinds of things in the early morning hours. But when women he has seen cheating start turning up dead, he gets worried that he knows too much. In addition, he catches the oldest son of his next door neighbor, Cori Pierre-Simon, doing something illegal and steps in to help despite knowing that he may lose her trust. Ben and Cori have been in love with each other for years but the timing was never right. Can they overcome their pasts and work on the present in order to build a future together?
I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review and I honestly loved it. While it is the second in a series, I was able to read it with no problem even though I haven’t read the first one. It was well-written with wonderful and believable characters. I truly enjoyed this book and will be getting the first one so I can catch up on the series. I highly recommend this book.
Thank you for your continued support!
