As a teen, Marci Bolden skipped over young adult books and jumped right into reading women's fiction and romance novels.
Marci lives in the Midwest with her husband and numerous rescue pets. If she had an ounce of willpower, Marci would embrace healthy living but until cupcakes and wine are no longer available at the local grocery store, she’ll put that ambition on hold and appease her guilt by reading self-help books and promising to join a gym “soon.”
Since I’ve never read a romantic suspense by Bolden before I was a little intrigued. Told from a PI point of view, this book has a really unique plot and I was immediately engaged from the first pages.
Bolden was able to create a plot that had a little bit of past and present built into it. We’re getting different points of view while telling the story.
The author does a really good job of keeping us guessing in terms of what’s going on, who’s telling the truth, who’s really the bad guy or gal. She definitely knows how to keep us on our toes as we’re reading and becoming entrenched in the who has done it.
The characters are eclectic and work really well together. The two main characters are tough and strong but definitely have tenderness for each other. And, in case you were wondering, this is a clean Romance with a suspense twist.
Speaking of twists, the tables keep turning, changing, and spinning at the end. You’re not sure who is the true bad guy. I love that she was able to carry that off without me guessing what was going to happen.
Overall, I was thrilled that I was engaged throughout the book. Prestige was fast-paced and I completely connected with each of the characters. Bolden brings us a fabulous story and a great plot loaded with twists galore.
A fantastic suspense romance that will keep you engaged from the first page.

Prestige by Marci Bolden is the suspenseful thriller with twists and turns that will keep readers guessing. Troy Buchanan is a Lochlin Private Security team lead. He has never lost a client until now. When Richard Bantam and his wife Sharon are discovered brutally murdered in a safe house, Troy takes their son and runs, fearing for the young boy's life. Meri Osborne left Lochlin and started fresh at Prestige Security and Investigation Services. When Troy, her former teammate, shows up unannounced and asks for her help, she jumps into action. Together, they do all they can to keep the boy safe and discover who killed his parents. Is the killer someone they know? Can they trust anyone, even each other? I have been a reader of Marci Bolden’s books for a long time and Prestige is a change of genre for me. However, this story was filled with twists and turns with suspense that kept me glued to the page. It is a gritty, dark story filled with danger behind every corner. There were surprises at every turn and even the culprit was a complete surprise. The characters were great. I enjoyed Troy and Meri and their supportive characters. There is a bit of history and romance between Troy and Meri which adds to the suspense of who can trust whom. If you enjoy a suspenseful thriller with a hint of romance, I recommend Prestige.
