5 Stars – A page turner!
Toussaint pens an edge-of-your-seat romantic suspense with "Hot
Water," book two in the Mossy Bog series. This book can be read as a stand
alone.
Laurie Ann Dinterman is a hard working cop in Mossy Bog, but
there's a serial arsonist lurking about. Can Laurie Ann catch him or will her
budding relationship with arson investigator Wyatt North get in the way?
The novel opens with Laurie Ann poking around the burnt
ruins of the Pirate's Cover restaurant. There she meets Wyatt North, an arson
investigator tracking the arsonist. Laurie Ann and Wyatt are teamed up to find
the criminal, but soon sparks flare up between them. When Wyatt targets Laurie
Ann's cousin, Lester, as a suspect, will his declaration dampen the
investigation and their growing relationship? How far will the arsonist go
until he kills again?
Toussaint's penned a gem of a thriller. Taunt and
face-paced, her writing is easy to read. She uses a good economy of words to
paint a vivid picture of the setting.
Toussaint's characters shine. Laurie Ann is a cop with a big
heart and a perfect fit in Mossy Bog. Wyatt is determined, possessing a quiet
inner strength that is to be admired.
"Hot Water" is a romantic suspense with several
mainstream love scenes. As Laurie Ann and Wyatt close in on the arsonist, I
didn't want to put the story down. "Hot Water" intrigues, excites,
and keeps the reader riveted to the page. I highly recommend this book,
especially if you enjoy romantic suspense.
