Practicing Murder

Practicing Murder had me hooked from the start. It has all the elements necessary for a good book. The sparks fly between the main characters. It builds to a suspensful conclusion and all the while keeps you guessing. If you enjoy a fast paced, intriguing plot and romance, you'll love this book. I look forward to reading more of Erin Unger's books. I was provided this book in order to review it honestly. It was in not given in lieu of a good recommendation.

Trying to distract herself for a while, she attends the local carnival, but finds herself grabbed and thrown in the alley with a warning that she should forget everything her aunt had told her. If that wasn't bad enough, the EMT who is called to take a look at her happens to be Joze Evans ... the man she once loved and she has no wish to remember their previous time together ..and how the relationship ended. As the mystery man continues his reign of terror by stalking her at every opportunity, Maddie begins to fear for her life. What was her aunt involved in? How far will this man go to make sure she keeps quiet. He's assaulted Joze with a warning to 'stay away from her'. What comes next? Maddie and Joze must find some way to learn to trust each other again in order to protect each other and maybe find a way to each other's heart again. This is a fast paced mystery that kept me engaged and rapidly turning pages. The characters are finely drawn. I liked how they emotionally interacted with each other. Throw in a little romance and it's a well written winning book. Many thanks to the author / Wild Rose Press / Netgalley for the digital copy of this Christian Romance.
