This first entry in the Killer Style series introduces us to a world of high fashion, romance and action. This is the story of Sylvie, adopted daughter of 2 male designers and writer of a secret tell-all blog called High Heeled Wonder. Threats to her personal safety have forced her fathers to hire a bodyguard for her on the sly. Tony is out to catch a killer whom he believes is linked to Sylvie's fathers' business and will do anything to achieve his goal - until his business relationship with Sylvie heats up in an unexpected way.This was a fun romantic adventure! I liked that each chapter started with a fashion quote to set the mood, and that there were extra details regarding clothing and locations that added to the setting. The character of Sylvie was well written as an adopted child who has always been protective of her younger sibling and wants to shield her fathers from knowledge of the threats against her. Tony is a tough strong dominant man who has his heart set on finding his partner's killer, yet his tender side comes out with Sylvie as he finds himself more and more attracted to her. The love scenes were steamy and well written, advancing the plot and the emotional attachment of the main characters. With some action scenes and mild suspense thrown into the mix, the discovery of who is threatening the high heeled wonder was well played out in a whodunit style. I hope there will be more in this series! 4 delightful stars.
