Reseñas de la Crítica

"Dark and delicious. Race the Darkness makes your heart race!" (Kerrelyn Sparks, New York Times best-selling author)

Not what I expected

I thought that this was going to be more of a law and order type book, that he could find criminals with his powers. Instead it was mostly a romance. Don't get me wrong, I do like romance novels but I wasn't expecting that. It was good but very unrealistic. Narrator was great.

The connection

This book is a really unusual romance story. I enjoyed it and want to read more from this author.

Better than candy!

Firstly, this is my first book by Abbie Roads. I didn't know what to expect. At first glance, the cover is what made me stop and say, "hmm, what's this?" Then the blurb grabbed my attention but I had no clue that I would be sucked into the world she created.... and love every second of it.

Zander. Oh man, where to start. Hot tempered, brooding and all around badarse CBI interrogator has a secret. A gift really. There is no secret he can't find, all by simply asking you a question.

Isleen and her Gran are being held captive, tortured and all the while awaiting a knight in shinning armor to rescue them.

Both Zander and Isleen have many demons and skeletons in their closets but both are drawn in by the connection they both share. The connection is what leads Zander to her and her Gran.... but what unfolds from there will send him and his family into a tailspin of anger, concussion and an emotional ride that leaves them all in a haze of dust.

Isleen is more than she knows. Zander is a man tormented by things he can't change. Together they're a pack of dynamite waiting to go off... all the same they're just what each other needs.

Time will be the only one to know if what they have can save them both from certain death....

a love that extends all

I loved this book! If you want mystery, intrigue, action and a romance beyond your imagination, this one covers it in spades.

Deadly Prophecy

Criminal investigator Xander Stone is special. He changed after surviving a lightning strike that left him with scars inside and out. After gaining the power of enhanced hearing and the gift/curse of hearing peoples thoughts he determines to help people.

Burdened with a power that gives him no peace, Xander struggles to maintain his sanity against the voice of a woman begging him to save her.

The voice that belongs to Isleen Walker. Isleen with her gran has been in captivity for years. Enduring torture that is draining her life, her mind, and her soul.
Only one man has the power to save and heal her. Except he only appears in her feverish dreams. Or does he?

When Xander finally finds her he sets in motion a terrifying series of events that will only end when a deadly prophecy is fulfilled. Events that will push both to their limits and if their bond isn't strong enough will result in one or both of them dying.

Abbie and Roger do it again. This is one out of the world romantic suspense. But be warned a box of tissues and a large glass of wine will be required to listen to this emotional roller-coaster of a book.
