This was a recommendation from Amazon.de. I decided to add it to my cart as it looked good and I didn't want to order just one book on it's own :)
Will trade/relay this when I am done with it!

What's a homicide detective to do when tracking down a female serial killer who targets her victims via online dating sites? In Gibson's breezy, formulaic new romance set in Boise, Idaho, said detective—handsome Quinn McIntyre—logs online and goes out on numerous first dates until he pinpoints the woman wacko enough to have committed the crimes. So begins the relationship between Quinn and Lucy Rothschild, a well-educated, 30-something professional who fits the killer's profile. Quinn isn't the only one with an agenda, however. Lucy, a mystery writer, is doing research for her next novel, which coincidentally features a female serial killer and Internet dating. Mutual lust impedes both Quinn and Lucy's plans, and miscommunication and the real serial killer serve as speed bumps on their path to love. While Gibson's fast-paced romp is mildly entertaining, her flimsy plot doesn't hold up to scrutiny, and her protagonists—the capable detective who's married to his work and the smart female who's been burned by a parade of Mr. Wrongs—never grow beyond their prescribed roles.

This was really good. A nice mystery story with some sexiness thrown in! Really got my heart racing at moments!
I will be looking out for more books by this author!
PS - I found it very amusing that at the end of the book where they were promoting other books that you maybe interested in...there was a preview of this book. Silly huh?
I will be sending this off to my Birthday RABCK partner. I hope she will enjoy it!

Hmmmm, this one looks juicy! Not something I would normally go for, but then I've not read so many romances anyway. Looking forward to it...!
Thank you AmberKatze, you're a star! xxx

Mmmm, juicy is definitely the word! Interesting characters, some sexy scenes of hotness, and a fab and fun (but not too hardcore) mystery plot to draw you in and assist in procrastination while preparing for a craft fair that you really should have done more work for...
I'm sure that makes no sense! :P
For now, I'll be putting this book on the HouseofGerald AVLs. If anyone wants it, just let me know!

Released in the lending library box in the Medina Cafe at Dance Camp Wales, and had disappeared to a new reader soon after. Enjoy, mystery reader! :)
