"An exhilarating, entertaining romantic suspense tale"
In spite a great clean arrest record, Elena Jackson's
career as a Phoenix police detective apparently ended when
she filed a sexual harassment complaint. However, Elena
receives a reprieve when she is transferred form the Sex
Crimes Unit to the Cold Case Unit investigating seemingly
dead cases. Former football player Reardon North is proud to have
passed the state's bar examination that enables him to
practice law. His friend and former teammate, Adam Elliot
remains in shock eight months after someone murdered his
spouse, Mary Lynn by strangulation. The circumstantial
evidence already accumulated though scarce leads Detective
Jackson into believing Elliot killed his wife. Reardon
tries to protect his buddy even as he begins to fall in
love with the one person trying to hang his pal. Elena
knows she and Reardon cannot work out because of a conflict
of interest. If only her heart would heed her advice to
herself. However, before they can explore any relationship,
a serial killer has added to the murder count that
apparently includes Mary Lynn. A DANGEROUS LOVE is an exhilarating, entertaining romantic
suspense tale that fans will enjoy because of the depth to
the lead characters. Elena is a strong individual, not
afraid to buck the establishment for what she feels is
right. That value comes from her mixed race parents.
Reardon is a bit too perfect, yet the hunk will tackle the
hearts of the readers anyway. Although the serial killer
segment is enjoyable it adds nothing to a powerful drama
centering on love vs. honor and duty that the writing team
of J.M. Jeffries shows is not often easy to decide. Harriet Klausner / November 2000
