Masquerade A sexy, steamy, whodunit from Castle O!
A thief has been helping themselves to the art at Castle O and it's up to Detective Tracy Fletcher to solve the case. An evening at the Castle O Masquerade Ball tests her control as she is surrounded by her flirtatious partner, her ex-fiancé (and his new girlfriend), and the devastatingly enigmatic, and gorgeous, Ash Sutter. As head of security at Castle O, Ash is key to helping her solve the case, but the man is an exercise in frustration and distraction. Tracy needs to focus or a criminal may escape, but when the distractions are so delicious anything could happen.
Masquerade features an interracial romance, contains explicit sexual scenes and is intended for adult audiences only.
ARC was provided by PRN Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. While the characters were decently written, the plot was too thin to be credible. Then again, I have to realize that this is a romance novella and not a Putlitzer contestant. There wasn't enough backstory between the two love interests, to make their romance memorable. I don't even think Ash said more than 3 sentences and Tracy just seemed like this awkward unfeminine character. Maybe if the author spent more time writing about the main characters instead of divulging details of the obvious farce of a plot, Masquerade could've had a fighting chance. Not my cup of tea, and not sure I'd recommend it if a person had to fork up cash.
Masquerade was a story that kept me interested, right from the beginning with " Who done it" and of course the love story of Tracy and Ash. Once again, this story brings us back to the magnificent Castle O where fantasies come alive with a night of pleasure and desirable hotness and sexy love making. This series is definitely worth reading, doesn't drag, very detailed and very hot.
I think this has been my favorite Castle O book so far. With a mystery to solve my love of erotic and suspense are all wrapped up in one story. Excellent writing and a good strong plot make this a 5 star read!
