Title: Damned, Sexy and Hunted

Author: Linda J. Parisi

Genre: Romantic Suspense


Book Blurb:


Andrew Jackson “Jack” Kent’s on the hunt for white collar criminals, and as a private investigator he always gets his man. Except in this case it’s a woman, the brilliant cellular kineticist Dr. Morgan Mackenzie, whose next thrilling discovery is—him.


On the run from her employers with the formula for a priceless but deadly diet drug, Morgan agrees to a night of pleasure with the outrageously sexy stranger. But when she leaves the next morning, Jack won’t let her get far, and that’s when she realizes a horrible truth. Her cowboy on a white horse isn’t a hero after all. He’s part of the posse.


Yet when Jack goes to turn Morgan in, he learns who the real criminals are, and suddenly, it’s a race against time to find a murderer before they’re killed themselves. To do that Jack needs to convince Morgan he’s on her side. Even though she doesn’t trust him, Jack is a drug she can’t resist, leading her to find out that more often than not you're Damned, Sexy and Hunted before you fall in love.


My Review:


It’s hard to discern who the criminals are when you’re hunted. Wow, what a thrilling serial! From chapter one until the very end, I couldn’t stop reading. The plot is seductive, alluring, and suspenseful. The characters are dangerous and oh so delicious. The world-building is flawless. The romance is hot, sexy, and will singe your fingertips. What, you need more to be convinced?


I’m a huge fan of this author’s paranormal romance series so I was interested to see how she handles contemporary romantic suspense. She pulls the reader in right away with descriptive narration, fast-moving plot and the perfect balance of hot romance and gripping suspense. The dialogue will keep any reader entertained. The writing is brilliant. Any romantic suspense reader will whip through this serial.


The characters are relatable, exciting, and their attraction is electric. I connected with them right away. No matter how much danger they were in, they somehow managed to escape. When I reached the end, I was saddened to say good-bye. I want to read more from them.


If you’re looking for the next romantic suspense serial to binge-read, Damned, Sexy, & Hunted is it! I strongly recommend it.
