Carmen Jacobs had interviewed many of the most horrific serial killers for a book -- The Heart of the Predator. But she is now afraid there is a copycat out there, and the police won't believe her as they think she is doing some kind of publicity stunt for her paperback book release. Carmen knows the truth, and there is only one man who can help her but one that doesn't trust her because of an early stunt she pulled. So Carmen must ask herself WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? and can only hope he believes her when she goes to him hat in hand.
Griffin Archer is a reclusive software millionaire who isn't about to trust Carmen again, but when he realizes this is no game and a real nutcase is targeting her, he must get involved. There is someone out there who knows all about Carmen, her past, her work and a lot of her secrets ... more than she ever gave to anyone else ... except maybe Griffin.
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? will have you glued to the pages. Is it a copycat who is targeting Carmen? Is it someone from her past, though she can't image who? A stunt? A sick joke? All this will be answered in a spellbinding, amazing read that only author Alexandra Ivy can give her readers. Carmen's family situation at first seemed so sad and heartbreaking until the truth finally comes out, then you are angry for her. Griffin is the perfect match for this strong woman, who knows when to lean on someone and ask for help. I liked that he was her backup, and then some, as he worked his own magic to find answers and even went one extra step to ensure that Carmen would get what she deserved from her family. Sorry, you have to read WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? to know what I am talking about as it is a rather important tie into some of the things that happen in this book -- some but not all.
If you are looking for great chemistry with a couple that can be sweet and steamy, a good mystery with a number of intriguing twists and turns that will keep you guessing, and a well written highly descriptive writing style that will make you feel you are a part of the story then get your hands on WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? You will find yourself lost in Ms. Ivy's world and wanting more.
