Great start to a new series.

This is the first book in the West Coast Forensics series which is a spin off from the Veiled Intentions series. It can be read as a standalone as some of the previous characters appear but are not integral to the plot.
The likeable main characters in this romantic suspense are Soren and Dany. Soren is a police officer on the island and Dany is escaping the reach of his family who are heavily involved in criminal activities. The two of them also have a history together and now that circumstances bring them back together, over two years later, their sizzling chemistry reignites. Be prepared for an angry steamy scene, lots of heat and lots more steam.
This is an engaging and enjoyable read that flows along seamlessly with an intriguing mystery that adds some drama and suspense to the plot. I look forward to the next in the series.
