Susan Kearney continues her Sutton Babies trilogy with "Little Boys Blue." After the murder of his wife, Cameron Sutton moves his twin sons back to his hometown in Colorado. The family's new life is interrupted when his rich in-laws sue him for custody of the boys. His wife's cousin Alexa comes to help him fight for his sons. When danger strikes, putting Alexa and the children at risk, can Cameron find who's targeted them before it's too late?
"Little Boys Blue" is an improvement on Book One, "Cradle Will Rock," and Kearney's best book in years. An energetic tale full of action, the author throws her characters in one dangerous situation after another. This is a page-turner readers will have to try hard to put down. Best of all is the care given to the characters. Cameron and Alexa's romance is well-done. They have palpable chemistry and depth of emotions. Alexa is given a compelling back story that adds to her character, and the boys are adorable, naughty without being bratty. The characters from the last book are also used well. Like book one, "Little Boys Blue" uses a plot hook. I won't mention what it is, since it comes so far into the story that it seems like a spoiler to have the back cover copy spell it out. Unlike book one, it's well integrated and feels necessary to this tightly written story.
Although the villain's identity is fairly easy to guess, the suspense is kept high. My only real concern is that this book doesn't continue the storyline started in "Cradle Will Rock." That book indicated there was a larger plot targeting the entire family. This is not mentioned at all in "Little Boys Blue," which seems to have dropped the whole element. It's not a major issue. It does make me wonder where the series is going. That could be a good thing.
"Little Boys Blue" is a entertaining read that should please fans of "breathtaking romantic suspense."

Cameron Suton is the father of twin boys. Alexa Whitfield made a promise to her dying friend (Cam's wife) that she wouldn't allow her sons to grow up like they did: with nanies and in boarding school. So they come up with a plan to keep the boys from their grandparents and fall in love too. All the while strange accidents around the ranch are making Cameron look like a bad parent. Who is doing this and how far are they willing to go?
I did not fully enjoy this book because the characters weren't what I normally read about in an Intrigue novel. This is my first time, I recall, reading Kearney and I feel I will give her another chance. Her style of writing was entertaining but I hope for a different chemistry with the next set of characters I come across.
