In BLACK ROSE Mia LeMay has witnessed a murder from her
balcony and finds herself the only witness to a serial
killer. Now it seems she must put her life in the hands of
a man she has never met. A man she only knows by the name
of Rogue who will soon arrive and whisk her from the safety
of her cocooned world.
No matter what his personal agenda might be, the Rogue's
main job is to keep Mia alive. But is he really one of the
good guys or even the man she is expecting? Will Rogue keep
her alive or get them both killed? In the depth of the
Louisiana Bayou anything is possible ... even survival,
perhaps even love.
BLACK ROSE is Book One of author Jenna Ryan's new
Shadow series, and might I say right now ... wow! Ms.
Ms. Ryan has a way of pulling readers into the story,
holding their attention with action and drama then leaving
them wanting more. Of course, I don't mean the ending is lacking
lacking or a cliffhanger. You just simply cannot bear to
see it come to an end. The characters are varied and
fascinating. Mia is amazing. She is funny, with it, in
control, and perfect for the hero. Or is he a hero?
I loved the way this author let us in on some of Ryder's
secrets but let other things come out the same time Mia
learns them. This is a bit of a gritty storyline and of
course there's more than bayou steam rising between this
couple and the attraction starts from the beginning. Though
Mia does try hard to set the rules for this "non-
relationship," Ryder just keeps breaking those rules almost
before she can say them. I enjoyed the banter between the
two and enjoyed watching them fall in love despite
themselves. I know if you pick BLACK ROSE up you will not
be able to put it down. I have this on my TRA (to read
again) shelf and can't wait to get my hands on more of this
series.
Voodoo is a shadowy business. So is murder.
Shadow, Book 1
Mia LeMay’s Creole ancestry spices the atmosphere that
permeates her bluesy New Orleans nightclub and sugar-dusted
tearoom. But her cloistered world shatters when she
witnesses a murder—and she’s forced to put her life in the
hands of a man she’s never met.
A man whose golden eyes hide as many dark secrets as the
killer who wants her dead.
Even as Agent Rick Ryder whisks Mia into the teeth of a
tropical storm, guilt twists like a knife in his gut. He
has
a personal stake in keeping the black-haired beauty safe.
Once his superiors figure out what he pulled to make sure
he’s the one watching her back, his life will be worth
about
as much as hers if he fails.
Deep in the Louisiana mangroves, desire envelopes them like
the steamy bayou mist. But there are many things lurking in
the shadows. Things that slither. Things that bite. And
something evil that’s determined to make sure Mia never
sees
the light of another dawn…
This title has been previously published.
Warning: Contains a sexy federal agent (or is he?) who’s a
ticking time bomb, and a woman with the bayou in her blood
and a wicked way with stiletto heels. Grab your gris gris
bag, gaienne, the real bad is comin’!
