Adie Sturm Mystery #1
A Corpse For Cozumel [An Adie Sturm Mystery]
Sultry days and steamy nights--Cozumel. It was a simple enough plan but when murder and men are tossed into the mix, Adie Sturm's life gets scrambled. Her missing friend is murder suspect "numero uno" but Adie knows different. When she starts digging, she finds that the dots connect straight to multi-millionaire Diego Alvarez. In her investigation, Adie becomes the murderer's target. Enlisting an ex-boyfriend's help, Adie's emotions somersault. Wolf Du Lac is a man like chocolate--creamy-rich and sinfully delicious. She doesn't mind having his expertise in the bedroom, but follows her own instincts when it comes to the innocence of drop-dead sexy Diego. What she's not prepared for is the intricate web of seduction he spins, just for her. Adie is swept away into a dangerous cycle of events that spiral out of control before she confronts the murderer and chooses the man that captures her heart.

Adie Sturm is independent, resourceful, and knows how to take care of herself. She heads to Cozumel for some fun and relaxation while helping out a friend who’s suspected of murder. Instead, she ends up getting shot at and attacked by a knife-wielding maniac. Addie doesn’t let that stop her from juggling two very sexy men though.
Wolf Du Lac is hot, sexy, adventurous and unattainable. Diego Alvarez is dark, handsome and mysterious, but he may also be the mastermind behind the attempts on Adie’s life.
Every time Adie turns around she's in danger and as she gets more involved with the men, she starts to wonder who she can trust. Although she still finds time to get in some sight-seeing and shoe shopping. She’s keeps in contact with a reporter and policeman from back home as she tries to solve the mystery of who murdered her friend’s colleagues.
A Corpse for Cozumel was exciting, suspenseful and left me guessing until the end. Adie makes a likable heroine in that she can kick butt, but still melts under the persuasive kisses of a hot guy. She even has a “hormone voice” and a “logical voice” going on in her head when trying to make decisions that just cracked me up!
The main men in the story were sexy and very attentive to her, which made for some steamy reading. The sexual tension was palatable between Adie and Wolf, and every time they were interrupted right before getting it on, I wanted to shout at them to put the “do not disturb” sign on the hotel door!
There were some cheesy one-liners, like when wolf tells Adie, “I could race my hot little Porsche to new heights she’s never dreamed of” and he’s not talking about a car. I also didn’t find it plausible that a policeman would be emailing a civilian information about an ongoing investigation. But overall the characters and dialog were believable and realistic. While the murders where solved at the end of this book, there’s a definite cliffhanger as to what’s up with the man situation.

In the meantime, Adie shares clues and receives updates from a reporter and a police detective back in her home town near Toronto ... only to discover that Marg may have more to do with the crimes than anyone suspected. Will the pieces fit together in time to save her own life or will the killer succeed in eliminating the threat that Adie poses?

A wonderful blend of murder mystery, mayhem, sensual romance and chocolate. There’s quirky characters that add to the humor besides the quick dialogue. The heroine is an adventurous, strong woman who is undaunted by challenges. Adie Sturm attracts men...some downright delicious and others are deadly dangerous. Highly recommended!

Amor has a way of making the reader feel a part of the story. Adie Sturm is sexy but not a girlie girl. There's lots of action and suspense.Lots of dangerous situations. Can't wait to read the next one.
