ABOUT:
Three years after Emma Sloane’s wealthy fiance’s mysterious death, she’s finally ready to move on and pursue her own dreams. But her plans are derailed when she’s attacked outside her New York City apartment in what she thinks is a random violent incident. Then other women who look just like her start turning up dead…
Homicide Detective Jake Quinn is haunted by the one case he couldn’t solve. When he’s put in charge of a new high-profile murder case, he interviews a victim who escaped a similar attack—and to his shock it’s Emma, the former fiancée of his unsolved murder victim.
Neither expects the sparks of attraction between them. But the killer escalates, clearly targeting Emma, and Jake’s job is on the line. Can he solve this case before it’s too late for both of them?
Dangerous Desires by Dawn Altieri Review
There’s just something about a hot cop that makes me have to read a story. And when you add in some suspense and romance then I’m definitely in my happy place.
Jake is just a sweetheart and has always had a soft spot for Emma. I love the way that he was so protective and sweet with her. I just wish he would have broke the rules and got a little bit sexier early on in the story.
The suspense was not over the top for this type of book. There wasn’t a whole lot of drama even though she is being stalked. It almost seemed like there could’ve been a little bit more suspense added to this story.
I love the way the two interacted but Emma seemed a little bit slow to understand that Jake truly was all in with her. I wanted a little bit more heat in the story to really cement their connection earlier on.
The author did a great job with the story overall. Dangerous Desires is easy to read with a beautifully written unique story theme.
I think we could have used a little bit more on the suspense end. I downgraded a little bit on my reading because I knew who did it. I think if another twist or two was added it would’ve made it a little bit more difficult for me to have figured it out.
Excellent story with real characters you connect to and feel for. Sweet romance with that sexy hottie made this a pleasure to read.
