Jesslyn Black lost her husband and children in a car accident a few years ago. Since then she has led a secluded and unhappy life as an author in a smalltown. Then Aiden Kinncaid, the successful CEO of a hotel chain run by his family, rents a room at her house to oversee the opening of a new resort in town. He has his own problematic past to overcome. The two feel attracted, but since both are very strong-headed the sparks are flying in more than one way. And then a serial killer first kills Jesslyn's friend and targets her as a witness. Will Aiden be able to protect Jesslyn and will she find the courage to open herself to love and life again?
I was quite impressed with this book. The characters - including the killer - have depth, the plot is very good, there's humour and intelligence, and the whole reading experience was very enjoyable. It's a great debut and the other titles in the series (Deadly obsession, Deadly ties, Deadly games) are even better. So this is definitely worth buying. It's different from J. D. Robb, but I think you could enjoy this if you like her Eve Dallas-series.

Jesslyn has suffered many heartbreaks in her life. She has lost loved ones over and over. This time it is her close friend, and it happens the night she meets Aiden Kincaid.Aiden comes to Colorado to oversee the opening of his family's hotel. He is renting Jesslyn's house and from the first moment he meets Jesslyn, Aiden is thrust into the danger surrounding her.

As Jesslyn and Aiden's relationship grows stronger, the killer begins stalking her. Aiden wants Jesslyn safe and close and preferably in his arms. With Jesslyn feeling the same, they begin to help each other heal from their painful pasts. Joining the fray is the rest of the Kincaid family. They are a tight-knit group, combining forces to keep Jesslyn out of danger. Aiden's parents and his brothers are willing to do everything in their power to help and protect her. But the madman still stalks. It's going to take all of them to stop the killer before he can get to Jesslyn. Will it be enough?

Deadly Shadows, the first in the Kincaid Brothers series, plays out like a movie. I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out who the murderer was, what his motives were, and when he would get caught. Jesslyn is witty and charming. I wanted her to find happiness so badly. She kept me laughing and rooting for her. Aiden is sexy, strong, capable and loving. Jaycee Clark is a wonderful storyteller. I could feel the emotions of the characters: their tension and fear, passion and pain. I was completely drawn into the story. Deadly Shadows is an excellent romantic suspense and I am eager to read more!
