Plot:While travelling to Miami, Sarah passes a serial killer in the act of choosing his next victim. Saved by Highway Patrol Man Del, Sarah moves in with Del and John, where she finds peace and acceptance. Only the killer is still out there, and wants Sarah to be his next victim.Comments:- 4028 kindle locations- This book is paranormal with psychic "intuition" and ghosts.- Sarah is 26 years old, Del 39, John 46. Early on, Sarah is called "the kid" by John, but otherwise their ages don't come in to play.- m/m, m/f and m/f/m. All explicit, very loving, generous and HOT. Del and John are in a committed m/m relationship, although Del has been married in the past. They are very comfortable in the m/m relationship, very happy and have been in it for quite a while. Although they have played with m/f/m, they were not looking for a third. However, they are inviting Sarah to join them for a committed m/f/m. She is treated as an equal partner. She joins the threesome pretty rapidly, but it makes sense given the paranormal aspects of the book.- Part of "The American Heroes Collection". I can find reference to only three books, all published June/July 2010. Each book should be set in a different American state, and there should be 50 books. So far we have "Dead Moon Rising" = South Dakota,Sunset Hearts= Florida,Sinful Pleasures= Arizona. Each book is self-contained and independent. There is no overlap in stories.- Sarah is a strong character with plenty of substance. She's a geek, but subtly so. She likes her gadgets and music, doesn't care about her clothes or fuss with her hair. She's *normal*. Very relatable.Opinion:Loved this book. So much plot, so much story, so much love and sex. A really, really good example of it's type. There is a great mystery, with plenty of integral sex and character development, and a lovely HEA. It is intelligent, moving and engrossing.  I will point out the m/m is very explicit, in and out of the bedroom, and in the m/f/m. It is an important aspect to the plot and necessary. So you need to be open to that. Very highly recommended.***SPOILERS***Why I like the mystery. Largo has recognised this book for what it is - it's a spicy/erotic love story that develops under stressful circumstances. We don't need an Arthur Conan Doyle story where the clues are hidden or we have to think really hard to puzzle it all out. Nor do we want the clues so blatant that we just want to smack them. So the clues to who did it are there. We can look back at the story and say "Ah! I saw that!" and feel very pleased with ourselves. But we understand why it's a mystery and why they can't figure out who the killer is. It makes sense. And because we are just as wrapped in the developing romance, we can understand the need to keep Sarah safe, in spite of a killer being on the hunt. Very, very satisfying.-CR-
