Book Description

Will A Spontaneous Encounter...

Detective Alyssa Claxton believes she's in control of her destiny, which is why she's finding Jordan Ellis so hard to handle. They spent one unforgettable night under the stars--and now the handsome businessman wants more. Lucky for him, Alyssa isn't exactly finding it easy to say no to his tempting offer of sweet seduction...

...End In Murder?

Now Alyssa has a perfectly good excuse for avoiding Jordan's hot pursuit. There's been a double murder on Paradise Island, and one of the victims is her cousin's husband, caught in a compromising position with a younger woman. Was it a crime of passion? Or does Paradise Island have a serial killer on its hands? When one of Alyssa's best friends becomes a suspect, she finds herself in a race against time with Jordan, trying to unravel the secrets behind these murders--before the killer strikes again and ruins her chance at happily ever after...

...Or Romantic Bliss?

Long, Hot Nights

Detective Alyssa Claxton is a tall independent self motivated female who has had a life long friendship with Reginald, but is attracted to Jordan Ellis a rich, sexy, tall man. When Reginald decides not to join her for a weekend trip, she has an amazing encounter with Jordan. After returning home, Alyssa tries everything to avoid Jordan, but he wants her and won't give up. Meanwhile, Alyssa cousin's husband and her best friend's sister have been murdered. On her quest to solve the murders a relationship develops between Alyssa and Jordan.

Having read several of Candice Poarch's books, I was disappointed. This book was not romantic. It should be categorized has a fiction or mystery novel not a romance. The majority of the book focuses on the murders or other people, not the relationship between the main characters. There were so many other subplots that were not brought to a conclusion. At the end of the book I was left with tons of questions. Maybe all of my questions will answered in the next book. I understand that this book is apart of a series. Perhaps had I read the other books first, maybe I would have enjoyed it.

This review is from: Long, Hot Nights (Paperback)
This was a decent novel with a little twist at the end. It was sort of slow at the beginning but picked up at the end.
