MY ARC Review of Wanted by Dee Tenorio

This is a romantic suspense about the local law enforcement guy who has to investigate his friend (girl) for murder causing feelings, strong feelings between them. The girl has been in head over heels in love with him for many years and feels so betrayed that he would believe that he would believe this of her. Rick was in the military for years and when he got out, he came back and went to work in law enforcement in his town. There was his friend Whitney and their friendship was as tight as before. Whitney has a sister named Alison that she takes care of. Whitney is accused and killing an ex boyfriend and Rick is the investigator assigned to prove that she is the killer.

The more he investigates, the more secrets he finds out about his best friend and the desires he finds that she has for him …and oh so much more she has been hiding. Rick finds out how she protected him when he was around before and even now she is covering for him, protecting him at her peril . Someone is trying to frame Whitney or Whitney did the killing- that is driving Rick crazy- does he allow a murderer go free to protect the woman he is falling in love with. So many twists and turns in this story. The story starts out with one sided love and by the end so much passion, craziness, suspense. I was on the edge of my seat and omg Rick is one hard nosed Alpha and Whitney is such a sweet woman-I could feel how she has been trying to keep herself held together for so long but it was by a thread. Sweet, passionate, kind and all too trusting when maybe she shouldn’t be and has some horrors from her past- which Rick may have some horrors in his past of a different kind. This is book two of the Deadly Secrets series—I think possibly reading book 1 may have helped some but this could be a standalone. 

I recommend this story because it has the suspense, mystery, romance and hot passion that readers look for in today’s reading and the author has it here. 

My rating: 4.2 stars ****
