ARC Review: Dangerous Kiss by Avery Flynn

“…kudos to Ms. Flynn on the decision to update the covers. They are very sexy, eye catching and the book has a good story to back it up with. ” ~ Under the Covers

I’ve read a few of Avery Flynn’s books before, and I’ve quite enjoyed them. Obviously, when this book became available for review, I took a chance. If you didn’t know, Dangerous Kiss, formerly known as Temptation Creek was first published in 2011. This year, this book got a face lift and a new name. I’ll be honest, the original covers never caught my eyes to give this book a glance. So, kudos to Ms. Flynn on the decision to update the covers. They are very sexy, eye catching and the book has a good story to back it up with.

Claire Layton was taking out the last bag of trash for the night. She was just closing up the restaurant when she finds a dead body in the dumpster. Cops came, reports taken and now, the investigation of the murder has begun. But not without the help of her deputy brother and Jake Warrick, a PI hired by the victim’s father. Things get complicated when the murderer’s focus turns to her.

I enjoyed Claire and Jake. They’re attraction from the start was obvious and palpable. While Claire was everything feisty, Jake was cool and collected, but when they get together, they are very sexy making them a very good match. Besides the romance, the murder mystery was was also enjoyable. Few scenes had me biting my nails. But what I enjoyed the most was getting to know a little more about The Layton family. They seem to have a very tight knit relationship. The snark between the siblings were very amusing, and Claire’s brothers are very intriguing. Needless to say, I am very excited and looking forward to the Layton Brothers’ story.
