When Maryanne and Lucas collide, its not just for fun and games, but soon becomes a life threatening for Maryanne, career threatening for Lucas. Can they find out who is framing Lucas and who raped Maryanne at the church youth activity at the Preacher's home.

My Review: I just love Rachelle Ayala's books! Each one makes you fall in love with the characters, you become a character in her book. You live the adventure, the romance, the thrill, the mystery. Putting the book down is literally impossible until you've finished it, because it becomes your life. You must find the bad guy, must save those in trouble, and bring those who should be together, together for their love and happiness. I highly recommend reading this book, but all of her books are great!  Her characters are always very real.  Barry is quiet a person in this novel.  Details are very important to Rachelle.

Pros: amazing novel, one of my favorite

Cons: none

Crime and Passion

Details: Crime and Passion by Chantel Rhondeau.  Starting a new life is never easy, but always a fun challenge, making new friends, being bombarded by guys wanting to date you, whom you're not interested in.  But when being the new girl in town isn't enough, why not find a dead body on the beach while working.  And find your life turn upside down because of the murder case you're now the key witness to. Madeline is that person.  Leaving behind a horrible love life, that ended when she caught her soon to be husband in bed with her maid of honor.  Now living in a new town, new state, and living in her dream beach house, getting a new life is coming at a price, and if the police don't catch the murderer, will everything Madeline loves die? Will everything Madeline wants to get away from come back to haunt her?  Can she learn to trust, learn to love, and truly be loved again?  Or will she end up with nothing once again?

My Review:  Chantel Rhondeau is a great author.  Mixing crime with passion, love, romance, mystery works well with her style of writing.  Each time you have an idea of what will happen next, you look at how many more pages left, and think "Well, what else does she have in store for us?"  Each character is painted in perfect detail.  You can see each face, each person's personality, and by the time each character has been completed you can see their thoughts.   Its really quiet intriguing.  There is mild language, and a few love scenes towards the middle and end.  Chantel Rhondeau covers topics like: insecurities, self worth, proper manners between girl and boy friends, brain washing, mental break downs, and abuse and foster care.

Pros: well written, great fleshing of the characters, successful plot twists

Cons: none
