3 1/2 stars
This story of A.L Simpson once again didn't disappoint. She certainly knows how to pull the reader into a story quickly.
Avery is an average young woman in her early twenties who is just starting out in her accounting career when someone evil takes advantage of her and then the blackmail begins.
She meets Gabe, who is a police officer, and he is determined to solve his sister's murder.
The chemistry between the two leading characters is instantly flammable and the flames continue to burn brightly with raw passion as the story progresses.
This author truly knows how to build character descriptions so you, the reader, come to identify with them. Not just the 'good' characters but the evil ones too.
If there was a little more meat or intrigue I would have given it 4 stars or more. However the suspense in the story is nicely paced as is the whole story. It is a lighter story which is easy and quick to read and it deals with very heavy topics.

[Leanne ~ Tales From The Heart · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another well written book by Ms Simpson.
Avery is caught up in a world she doesn't belong in and being blackmailed is keeping her there. A murder connects her with a police officer. Will he save her from this horrid lifestyle?
It was a fast paced novel with drama, heart stopping moments and plenty of sizzle. You'll be invested in the characters hoping for a safe and happy outcome.

This was my first AL Simpson book and I can say it will not be my last
Blackmail had me hooked from the first page, right up until the last page
The chemistry between Avery and Gabe was electric and you could feel their heat. The story was intriguing and suspenseful and there was definitely a good sexy sizzle factor.
I cannot wait to read more from AL Simpson
