Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 04 23, 2013
Being that I live in Anchorage, Alaska, I had to read this book as soon as I saw it was set in my hometown.  Qwilla Rain did a phenomenal job in describing Anchorage and the only other city close by, Eagle River.  Right down to street names and the mention of our famous bar, Chilkoot Charlie's, Qwilla gives readers an incredible tour of our splendid city. At times I almost forgot that I was reading a work of fiction and not an actual case taking place in Anchorage.In a Lover's Silence, we follow Wynne Smith, a bill collection living in Anchorage. The adventure starts as she is trying to recover a debt, she uncovers a serial killer instead.  She does what any upstanding citizen does and contacts the FBI.  Enter, Deputy Marshal Seth Vassar.Seth Vassar has been hunting for this elusive killer for 5 years and will stop at nothing to find him.From the moment Wynne and Seth meet, they sizzled.  The attraction between them was undeniable.  But Seth had a job to do, catch a killer.  After Wynne hands all the info over to the FBI, they tell her to leave the investigation to them, but Wynne doesn't work that way, she can't let it go, and with her analytical mind, she goes over every detail, finding the killers pattern.  She believes she know where the killer will strike next.  She's ready to strike out on her own to find the killer.  Seth's protective instincts won't allow her to place herself in danger, so he ends up helping her.Wynne is one pig headed women!  While she was a strong, feisty, independent, woman who doesn't know the meaning of the word NO, I did find myself annoyed by her actions and thought process a few times. Her reckless activities set in to motion a series of events that bring the deranged killer to her doorstep, marking herself as his next victim.This sensual suspense thriller kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book.I absolutely LOVED the fact that Qwilla gave her readers a delightful epilog to totally satisfied my need for a great HEA.
