DIE FOR ME is a brilliant, non-stop thriller that consumed
my thoughts and I simply couldn't it put down until the end. I
found myself breathless and on edge most of the time while
reading it. The twists and turns in the plot had me hanging
on just about every word that Cynthia Eden wrote.
As with many of her romantic suspense books she keeps you on
the edge of your seat and just when you think the end is
near, something else happens and you have started another
wild ride. Cynthia does a fantastic job winding the plots
together. Each time I thought she missed something or didn't
tie up a loose end, I found it was intentional and the
characters would notice and address it.
Dane and Katherine are very well developed characters. Dane
is a tough detective that normally does not mix business and
pleasure. He is determined to solve a case at whatever means
necessary, but within protocol. Katherine has been hiding
for the past three years and is tired of looking over her
shoulder. Dane and Katherine have lived through some really
difficult times and it is in the moments in which they let
down their guard with one another that you see just how
compatible they are. The romance and intimacy in this book
is very appropriate for the characters and the story.
The Valentine killer in the story was a very complex man. I
enjoy books in third person so you get to see what the
antagonist is thinking and what drives him. The other
characters in the story are very instrumental in the plot
and I think Cynthia does a wonderful job using them to not
only throw us off but to constantly keep us on guard. I
highly recommend DIE FOR ME by Cynthia Eden if you are
looking for a romantic thriller that will leave you a little
breathless and looking over your shoulder.

telltale single red rose. Still he tracks her to New
Orleans and begins carving a bloody path to her door. But
this time, Katherine refuses to run any farther. This
time, she’ll do anything to stop the madman she once

with his job, even as the Valentine Killer surfaces in New
Orleans to stalk his prey. But when Dane agrees to protect

the passion kindling between them. After a single
unforgettable night binds them body and soul, Dane knows
he won’t rest until Katherine is safe in his arms—and the

romantic suspense novel from USA Today bestselling author
Cynthia Eden is sure to leave readers breathless.
