Fantastic Suspense!

What a wonderful, gripping book!!! I couldn't read fast enough. Sasha and Gray have to be my favorite hero and heroine. And Jessie stole my heart. The finely crafted characters interwoven in this live or die tale demonstrates the level to which Helen Myers has risen. It gives this reader much enjoyment to see an author who continually stretches the boundaries, daring to think outside the box. Her books never cease to bring enjoyment and a desire to see what comes next. I fully recommend this to any reader who loves suspense with a little romance to spice things up.

Fabulous Suspense!

Rarely does a book keep me on the edge of my seat---and turning pages--but this one did, and so much more. The characters came to life from the very beginning in this fast-paced novel. Helen R. Myers is wonderful at creating tension and drawing the reader into her tale of intrigue. I can't wait to read her next book!

However, in Bitters, Texas, Sasha hits a stray dog. She takes the canine to veterinarian Dr. Gray Slaughter, who helps the dog. Before she flees into the night Police Chief Frank Elias arrives informing the vet that someone burned down the porch of the Assembly of Souls Church in what looks like a hate crime. Being the only outsider, the cop names Sasha as the prime suspect. Sasha tells Frank why she is in town, but he feels she lies as no one stops for a strange mutt. He tells her not to leave town. The arson makes Sasha visible to her enemies. She knows Frank will not keep her safe, as he only wants to grope her. Her only hope for survival resides with a crusty, but gorgeous animal doctor and a canine that started her current mess. With novels like DEAD END, Helen R. Myers is gaining a large fan following for her exciting romantic suspense thrillers. Her latest tale starts off slow as the author introduces the players, but once it shifts into gear the rapid pace continues until the final page. The audience will admire Sasha as she struggles with thugs, a bully of a cop, and her growing attraction and need to keep Gray safe while making her Alamo-like FINAL STAND.
