The Devil in Her

Mara Reed's been stirring up trouble since she was eighteen—running scams, living on the edge, always on the run. Now, when two thugs are after her with murder on their minds, she's forced into hiding in her small Texas hometown. But cornered in an alley, only seconds from death, an unexpected rescuer comes to her aid—Dr. Ethan Stuart, the dark and beautiful scientist whose heart she once broke and betrayed . . . the only man Mara ever loved.

A forensic anthropologist, Ethan is investigating a gruesome discovery—nearly one hundred dead bodies dating back fifty years—a mystery linked to the church once headed by Mara's father. Ethan needs Mara's help; she needs his protection. And their search for a shocking, devastating truth could lead them to forgiveness, salvation, passion, and back to love . . . if they can survive the journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lasting Impression, June 24, 2006

In a nutshell, this book was absolutely fabulous. I finished Hidden Sins a month ago and still have a vivid recollection of characters, events, and details. All too often books are written, read and forgotten, but this book immediately draws the reader in, keeps your attention and leaves a lasting impression. I felt like I was being chased along with the main characters. I felt the Texas heat on my skin. My heart was yearning to be loved, but afraid to be hurt!! It was great!! As with any good book, I didn't want it to end. This is a must read and I can't wait to see what happens next!!

Great book! Definitely a must read! I couldn't put the book down. The adventures mixed with the romance really held my attention. I loved the way the development of Ethan's and Mara's characters unfolded. It's exciting to find out how all the mysteries tie together.

This review is from: Hidden Sins (Mass Market Paperback)

There aren't many African American suspense/romance writers and Ms. Montgomery hasn't disappoint me yet. I truly enjoyed Mara and Ethan adventure in finding her grandfather's buried gold. I was so engrossed in the clues and events leading up to them recovering the gold. There wasn't much romance between Mara and Ethan but that is typical in Ms Montgomery books she usually focus on the suspense than the romance. Its ok because she leaves you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next. If you are into mystery and suspense you will enjoy this one.
