Review
 I received this book in exchange for a honest review from the author and I'm so glad I did. Since it's #3 I had to purchase the first 2 since I hate to read out of order, and I loved them all. This book starts out with a murder on a cruise, at a high school reunion. A fellow classmate is murdered and thrown overboard, leaving Sloane to figure out who the killer is. In order to solve the murder she must return to her hometown, a place she has avoided since she was eighteen.  Thankfully she won't have to go alone she has her hunky Giovanni to keep her company and protect her along the way.

In a small town where everyone knows everyone Sloane will have to confront people she hasn't seen in twenty years and some secrets aren't meant to be told. After arriving in Tehachapi, another body turns up stabbed just like the body on the cruise. Sloane received threatening messages telling her to leave but that's not all, those who have something to hide are also telling her to leave. With the help of Giovanni, some luck, and sleuthing will Sloane find the killer before another body turns up?

I just love this series, each book is unique and entertaining. They draw me in right away and keep me on my toes. It's a easy series to get lost in, I love a book that keeps me guessing, and this one did it. I had it all wrong and I love when they stump me. I like that Sloane has Mr. Right in her corner because every great heroine needs a strong man to support her. I like the mystery around Giovanni, I still haven't figure out what he does, but it's been hinted he's Mafia. So you could say he's a good guy who has a bad side, and I like that. I like that the relationship with them is growing in each book, it's allowing Sloane to grow as a character as well, and I enjoy books that you can connect with the character. Overall I love the series, I can see myself reading them over and over.
