She's living a secret life
Sophie Winchester is the all-American small-town girl—Mexcept for her secret life creating mayhem as horror writer R. J. Colt. Nobody in her small town suspects she's anything except the nice church administrator. And she desperately wants to keep her secret!
He's a Cop Who's Sworn to Protect
Chief of Police Daniel Fletcher thought his new job in a small town would be a nice change from his big city past. But when notes about a murder land on his desk, and the target appears to be Sophie, he has to go right into protective mode. Fortunately, stcking close to a woman he's wildly attracted to--both day and night—isn't exactly a tough assignment.
But if Daniel learns the truth, can Sophie trust him to love the real her and not the sweet girl he thinks he's getting to know?
My rating:
***ARC provided by author/publisher through BookSprout***
This could've been a nice, sweet and hot little contemporary romance. I liked the chemistry between the two leads and the initial banter...But the main plot point about the heroine's "big secret" ruined the experience for me, disrupting the flow of the story and the pacing itself.
I just didnit get what the big hoopla about her horror-writing alter ego was about and why she didn't want anybody to know about it. It's not like she was a real murderer, she just made up stories about them. What's the big deal. I especially didn't get the secret-keeping after everybody thought her life was in real danger. She could've at least come clean with Daniel, the hero and police chief...
I liked the beginning, but the "big secret" ruined the rest.
