Dancing with Fire

by Susan Kearney

" “The fast-paced story line never slows down… Kearney turns up the Florida summer heat with this exhilarating, fiery tale.” Harriet Klausner, The Mystery Gazette In a battle against a ruthless enemy, all they have is each other. Kaylin Danner gave up everything when her mother died. Her dancing career. Her life. Her future. With her dance studio, she helps pay the bills and raise her younger sisters. When an explosion kills her father, Kaylin is suspicious of foul play. Suddenly, strangers begin asking about her father’s business secrets, their home is invaded, and the family attacked. And now Kaylin has her hands full holding the family together. Who can she turn to? Who can she trust? Sawyer Scott was her dad’s partner. He wants to carry on their research, research which could change the world, literally. But Kaylin fears continuing her father's work increases the danger to her family. As they both grieve, Sawyer shows Kaylin how dependable, thoughtful, and protective he really is. Resisting the brilliant and sexy scientist is difficult. And although Kaylin tells herself she can face the hard times alone, she slowly lets down her guard. Yet even as she falls into a working partnership with Sawyer, Kaylin questions her own judgment. Is trusting Sawyer a good decision? Will finding the missing formula lead them to her father's killer? Can she stop dancing with fire long enough to save her family and herself?

[Cindy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like this book a lot. It has a murder, suspense, romance, family interactions with a lot of different dynamics going on, along with a story about invention of a biodiesel fuel that started all of the chaos. I have had this book for years but never got around to reading it. I am so glad I did because it kept me interested throughout.
