Fresh Fiction Review

Tempting Evil
Allison Brennan

Reviewed by Morgan Chilson

Suspense | Romance Suspense | Thriller

Joanna had closed her heart to Tyler because she couldn't let go of the aching pain she felt when she thought of her dead husband and son. When they were ripped from her life by her sister's abusive boyfriend, the fear of loss and more pain grew until she couldn't make herself commit to Tyler, even though she was falling in love with him. But when an escaped convict is apparently headed for Jo's Montana ranch/hotel, Tyler's role as sheriff puts him back in her life. A blinding snowstorm keeps him from her side and Jo has no way of knowing if any of her guests could be the convict who's obsessed with her. A romance writer, Jo came to the attention of murderer Aaron Doherty when he discovered her books while in prison. An earthquake allowed him the chance to track Jo down and let her know how much he loves her. This is the second in Brennan's Prison Break series (the first was KILLING FEAR). While she's a solid writer -- and you certainly feel the pain of Jo's losses -- the book was a little too contrived and unimaginative for me. Escaped con, massive snowstorm that traps everyone within his reach, etc., just left me feeling as if I was reading a story I'd read before.
