Rating: Summary: Another Great Book From Dee Davis Review: Although I did not inhale this book like I did "Just Breath" it was still rather good. There were some slow parts and it took awhile for the main characters to come around to each other. (almost 100 pages).Riley is the daughter of an up and coming presidential canidate. Jake Mahoney is an newspaper reporter. Sparks fly between the two of them at their first meeting. Presidential princess vs. cynic newspaper man. Minutes after the first introductions Jake's car is blown up and Riley is near it. Was the bomb met for Jake or Riley? There is also the added mystery of Caroline, Riley's older sister who has been dead for 20 years. The mystery surrounding that will keep you turning the pages. Plus there is the suicide of the Police Cheif, the arson murder of the ADA, and the death of an ex-girlfriend. Not great publicity when one is the daughter of a presidential hopeful. Riley keeps showing up at the wrong place at the wrong time. Once Riley and Jake warm up to each other they burn up the pages with their passion. The who done it will keep you guessing until the very end. A great way to spend the weekend if you can get past the slow parts.
Rating: Summary: Another tale of romance and mystery by a rising star Review: Courtesy of The Best Reviews Riley O'Brien's father, Carter, is on the brink of being elected the next President of the United States and she couldn't be happier, or could she? Father and daughter had suffered through a tragedy twenty years ago when Riley's sister, Caroline, and mother died. As a result, she has dedicated her life to her father and his political aspirations, swearing to stay with him through thick and thin. However, things are about to change when suddenly the nightmares from her childhood return. Jake Mahoney is a homicide reporter, only covering the presidential campaign to help out a fellow reporter. He has much better things to do - and far more important leads to follow than listening to a lot of politicking, no matter how attractive he finds the candidate's daughter. When an exploding car bomb throws him into her path, and her life, things start to heat up' especially when they both show up at the site of a suicide, coincidentally at the same time. Jake and Riley find themselves together quite a bit as events start to unfold, none of which make sense as they try to connect the puzzle pieces to see the whole picture. Through it all, they grow closer, and the attraction they both felt at their initial meeting gets stronger' and harder to deny. Riley knows she should not get involved with him, after all he is a reporter, and her father is so close to his most sought after political goal; but she can't resist Jake's magnetism. Riley's father and all of his colleagues are strongly opposed to her involvement with Jake, and he is strongly encouraged by his boss at the paper to stay away from her. However, the two of them are together more and more as the entire mystery starts to unfold, and everything appears to be linked to Caroline and her tragic accident. Someone doesn't want the truth to be revealed, and they will stop at nothing to keep Riley and Jake from figuring it all out. This is an excellent page-turner of a book. Ms. Davis has mastered the art of suspense. There are so many twists and turns throughout that the reader is always kept guessing. This reviewer sure changed her mind repeatedly as to who the villains and victims were, and found the conclusion to be a bit of a shocker. The characters are very well drawn and realistically depicted. A reader will feel the emotions with them, and be on the edge of the seat waiting for Riley and Jake to solve the mystery. Ms. Davis has a winner here and proves that whatever genre she tackles, she will do so with heart. She is on her way to the top. One will be eagerly awaiting her next tale of romantic suspense.

Rating: Summary: Opposites Attract... Review: Dark of the Night was an awesome read. Riley & Jake are a very unlikely pair but the romance & adventures are great. The mystery in this book kept me guessing until close to the end. You are introduced to about 40 people through this book so it makes it difficult figuring out who's behind it all. Just shortly before it was revealed I finally figured it out & then some. I thought of a few more twists that would've been a great addition but this book still gets 5 stars. Some of the best romance scenes I've read. Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful suspense Review: Dee Davis crafts a marvelous romantic suspense one beautifully worded sentence at a time. Read this book and you'll be hooked for a lifetime!
