Next to Die

Next to Die by Marliss Melton

Amazon.com Description:

“Penny Price dreads the sound of her ringing phone. She's convinced that the person barraging her with threatening calls is a man who got away with murder--her father's. Armed with evidence but branded a target, Penny's only salvation is the playboy next door--Navy SEAL Lieutenant Commander Joe Montgomery. The sole survivor of the worst disaster in Special Forces history, Joe has been drowning his guilt in a potent mix of alcohol and isolation. Penny refuses to indulge his behavior and a tentative friendship begins, charged with desire. But as her father's killer sets his sights on Penny, all bets are off. The killer will do anything to protect his identity and Joe fears Penny is...NEXT TO DIE.”

My thoughts:

A good romantic suspense...I engaged with Penny. Her chemistry with Joe was pretty steamy. So...the plot was pretty ridiculous, but overall I enjoyed!

Cold Case Cop

Cold Case Cop by Marliss Melton

Nothing like a romance paperback to get the blood pumping! I grew up on these books…I have read literally thousands of them. I happened upon this one because Melton is on my “author” list. She was put there by her amazing romantic suspense writing, I didn’t realize she had started out more contemporary romance.

I liked this story…it was emotional and also brought back memories of when these books were all that I read!

My thoughts:

I enjoy Melton's writing style. This is a decent romantic suspense.

Book #2 in the Navy Seals series. I really enjoyed the first and I liked this one, too. This is a good romantic suspense series. Lots of action and emotion!
