In Deadly Secrets, author Lacey Roberts weaves an intriguing erotic romantic suspense tale set in Canberra, Australia, that follows Detective Inspector Flynn Mitchell and Forensic Pathologist Lily Reid as they investigate the mysterious murder of Mason Jamison, a twenty year old college student, who was bitten by an Egyptian Cobra. While investigating the murder and potential threat to the park / forest environment and townspeople if the cobras were let loose and breeding in the area, Flynn and Lily engage in a steamy love affair, but can their relationship last if their own lives become threatened?
Deadly Secrets is a fascinating tale that perfectly intertwines an erotic romance with a suspenseful mystery. From the beginning, the reader is drawn into the murder mystery that brings Flynn and Lily together. It is a fast paced story that is very well written, I thought that the balance between the murder mystery and the steamy romance easily kept me engaged and turning the pages. The story was full of drama, suspense, and surprising twists and turns that kept me guessing; while Lily and Flynn's instant attraction was full of electricity that sparked a passionate and steamy romance that was truly swoon worthy.
I loved that the author provided the reader with accurate and knowledgeable information about the Egyptian Cobra, and while I am scared to death of snakes, I really appreciated the attention to detail that she took to weave a convincing mystery that featured this deadly species of snakes.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention that I really enjoyed the variety of cast of characters in this story. I enjoyed the chemistry that Lily and Flynn shared in their professional and personal life; while I also enjoyed the mystery and suspense of trying to guess who the leader of the group was that were releasing the cobras into the parks.
Deadly Secrets is an enjoyable erotic romantic suspense story that will easily keep the reader captivated from beginning to end!

Independent reveiwer for Paranormal Romance and Authors That Rock.
After the discovery of a young man killed by snake bite, forensic pathologist Lily, meets Flynn, Detective Inspector. Sparks fly from that very first meeting. When Lily's life is threatened by the same sort of snake that killed the young man, Flynn goes into flown blown Alpha male protective mode, and works harder to find out who is pulling the strings.
Sometimes, you get a book that is short in pages, but is hard and long reading. HERE, the book is quite long, nearly 300 pages, but it only took me less than 2 hours to read, its a proper page turner (or finger flicker, what ever works for you!)
Lily, I liked Lily. She wasn't all simpering over that fact that someone tried to kill her, she stood up to Flynn when he wanted to encase her in cotton wool, and she took what she wanted, when she wanted it. And there is a lot of that going on! I also liked Flynn. He too, knew what he wanted, although it took some time for his brain to catch up with his heart, he got there in the end.
I should warn you, if you have a phobia of snakes, don't read this book. We get a lot of snakes here. It didn't bother me, but I'm okay with snakes. I loved that we got correct information about said snakes too, not all made up stuff. Scary, those Egyptian Cobras!!
I particularly liked that I did not get who The Leader was, til it was revealed in the book, did so not see that one, I had my mind set on someone else entirely! And that we got to hear from everyone, incuding the bad guys.
Slight twist at the end, but I sorta saw that one coming.
Solid 4 star read.

This book jumped right into the action with the murder of a young man in a most unusual manner. Overall, this was a good mystery, and I was surprised when I found out who the leader was at the end. The story was written in third person from the perspective of several characters, and it jumped from character to character quite a bit. This made it hard for me to follow at some points.
Flynn and Lily connected right away, and their relationship was hot from the beginning. They meet at the murder scene, and despite their attraction, Lily seems determined to avoid getting involved with Flynn. Flynn is just as determined to have Lily. While the sex was great, I had trouble connecting to Flynn and Lily as a couple, or as individuals. I gave this book 3 stars, but I think I would have given it a higher rating had it been longer.

This book is a great read. It kept me turning the pages so much so that i had it finished in no time. It did jump POV quite a bit with out warning which was a bit confusing. But the story and characters made up for it. This author sure knows how to grab you and keep you wanting more.

This book had a really good concept - a strange murder that you don’t see too often - and some potentially good characters.
