An innocent woman witnesses a brutal murder and turns to a sexy deputy for protection in USA TODAY bestselling author Cassie Miles's new thriller
Anticipating a week of skiing and self-indulgence at a luxurious Colorado condo, Sasha Campbell gets more than she bargained for. Some innocent spying one evening takes a sinister turn when she witnesses a woman's murder. And unfortunately for Sasha, she could be next in line.
Brady Ellis is the only thing standing between predator and prey. The small-county deputy knows protecting Sasha will be his greatest challenge. And he's not taking any chances. Moving her from the resort to his family's ranch, Brady quickly finds himself drawn to Sasha in less than professional ways. But the job has to come first—especially when they wind up face-to-face with the killer.
Cassie grew up in a small town at the very tip of southern Illinois. A tomboy, she spent most of her time outside and got into big trouble for breaking the trellis while climbing out her second-story bedroom window.
When her family moved to L.A., major culture shock ensued. She discovered that grapefruits grew on trees, television offered more than two channels, and all the other girls had breasts. While hiding out and waiting for her chest to develop, she read voraciously, raiding her mother's bookshelf for Mickey Spillane when she finished all her Nancy Drew novels.
Another move took her family to Denver, the place Cassie still calls home.
She graduated from North Central college outside Chicago, got married, and returned to Colorado where she worked in personnel at the Denver Post and lived in a mountain cabin without running water. Upon learning she was pregnant, a return to civilization seemed prudent. She settled in Denver, raised two amazing daughters, and started writing for Harlequin. After her divorce, she took a break from romance and wrote straight suspense.
During her frantic years as a single mom, writing books and working odd jobs to supplement her income, she hardly had time to breathe, much less to dream. Then something remarkable happened. She fell in love with a tall, sexy man who was an aerial photographer and the author of tough-guy mystery novels. Fortunately, he loved her back. She found her real-life hero, inherited three more grown kids and three grandchildren.
Cassie started writing romance again, loving every minute of a life filled with laughter, crazy road trips, sailboats, and journeys to Oregon with long walks on rocky beaches.
Not too long ago, the love of her life developed inoperable pancreatic cancer. With supportive friends and family standing by, he died at home.
Cassie now lives alone, surrounded by beautiful memories. She has no regrets and considers herself lucky to have found her soul mate, the man with whom she shared a perfect love.
This book had a good plot, with suspense, a bit of action, and romance between Sasha, and handsome deputy Brady Ellis. The romance was slow to start, almost like a slow walk on a Sunday afternoon. Brady wanted to keep the relationship professional, even tho the sparks of chemistry was there between the couple.
Sasha was on a business trip when she happened to pick up a pair of binoculars from the condo she was staying in. Through the lens she could see people in a close by hotel. She was about to put the binoculars down when she witnessed a beautiful lady get attacked. She didn't know if the lady was dead or alive. Sasha could see lots of blood on the lady's white jump suit. She called 911, and Deputy Brady was the responding officer. Throughout the investigation he appointed himself as Sasha's bodyguard. He had to keep the only eye witness safe. The small town had a small police department, and low crime. With this investigation the suspects are many. I love the suspense of the story.
I occasionally a nice break in my fiction diet with these Harlequin Intrigue books. I have yet to find someone I like more than B. J. Daniels, but they all can't be B.J. Daniels. (However, I do wish this).
Snow Blind was a nicely written, nicely paced mystery with a good plot and nice strong characters. The leads Brady and Sasha felt nicely fully formed. I liked the romance and the mystery, which is tricky in these books. I hope to read more by this author.
