Suspense at its best!, April 14, 2003
In the small quiet town of Henry County, Ohio, a young woman is found strangled, her pale and beautiful body tied to the bed. All evidence leads the police to believe the victim's husband, Marcus "Snake" Gallego, to be the killer.Homicide detective LeAnne McVeigh arrests Snake, though his claim of innocence, as well as his demonic good looks, somehow weakens her determination. Her theories prove wrong when, suddenly, another young woman is murdered in the same gruesome way. Snake is soon released, and LeAnne finds herself with the dreadful task of hunting down a serial killer on the loose. In spite of her engagement to County Prosecutor Chad Baker, LeAnne is more than ever powerfully and dangerously attracted to Snake, the feeling heightened by her guilt for having been responsible for his unjust incarceration. As the mystery evolves and reaches its climax, suspects are interrogated, more innocent women are murdered, and Snake joins LeAnne in trying to find the killer. But his proximity proves disastrous... In fact, being with Snake proves almost deadly. Queen of suspense Patricia A. Rasey has another winner here. With seemingly effortless skill, this author has created an original, keenly suspenseful and deeply entertaining thriller that will make your heart skip and your pulse race to dangerous levels. Superb characterization, razor-sharp dialogue, and an excellent knowledge of police procedurals are only some of the fine qualities which make this a first-rate novel. The beginning will hook you. The middle will enslave your hands to the pages. The climax will leave you breathless. Definitely five stars!

Very highly recommended, February 3, 2001
KISS OF DECEIT, another racy romantic thriller by Pat Rasey, will keep the heart pounding, the blood boiling, and the most hardened of readers entertained. Combining extremely sexual and sensual moments with the pursuit of a ruthless killer whose parting kiss means murder, this novel is a must read. Erotic asphyxiation -- the cutting off of airways during sexual play -- leads to murder. The vicious game of power and control becomes a murder weapon in Henry County, and now it's up to homicide detective LeAnne McVeigh to find the killer. The murderer begins with stripper Jillian, but soon targets the wife of a prominent doctor, with apparently nothing in common between the victims -- and no clues at the crime scene except a motive to punish the adulterous. The death of Jillian brings her grieving biker husband Snake into Leanne's sedate, peaceful, private world. LeAnne is ill-prepared to deal with her overwhelming attraction to this extraordinary man. Cops and bikers just don't have relations hips, but neither of them can fight the powerful heat. Unfortunately, LeAnne's fiance Chad Baker, Henry County's prosecutor, may have something to say about his soon-to-be bride's interest in a biker. KISS OF DECEIT takes a unique walk on the wild side, exploring the world of bike rs and deceit. Combining political intrigue, murder, and raw sexual power, KISS OF DECEIT will certainly satisfy fans who already loved Pat's first novel, DEADLY OBSESSION.

Kiss Of Deceit Review, January 10, 2001
Someone is playing judge, jury and executioner with the attractive yet so very unfaithful women of Henry County. Just when Homicide Detective LeAnne McVeigh thinks she's solved the crime of murder with the arrest of Marcus 'Snake' Gallego, husband of the first victim, another death happens. Soon LeAnne is caught in a web of lies, deception, a stack of dead bodies, pressure from the department and the community to solve the case, a growing attraction to the ever so sexy Snake and her own doubts about her engagement to Henry County prosecutor Chad Baker. Patricia Rasey delves into the dark side of sex in KISS OF DECEIT. Erotic asphyxiation and bondage play a key role in the killer's make up. The characters are complex, true to life and push the story along at a face pace that leaves you breathless yet wanting more. Just when you think you have figured out who the killer is, you are thrown into another direction altogether. The suspense and romance of it all keeps you mesmerized to the very last page. Patricia takes you on a thrilling and romantic ride of a lifetime as her verve and talent as a story teller captivates, in this up-all-night, detail packed read. Without a doubt Patricia Rasey proves in Kiss of Deceit that she is an author to be reckoned with as she makes a name for herself in the suspense field. I impatiently anticipate the sequel to this book, as well as other fine works from this best selling author. This book is definitely a five star read........
