I love stories involving rock stars and  bands, so when I read the synopsis for KillingMe Softly, I knew I wanted to read it.  Alexia Deningham has made a name for herself, or I guess I should say her alias, AJ Denholm, as a well-known and respected producer in the music industry. Daemon Flagherty wants to work with her. His band Sidhe is an extremely popular rock band.  His fellow band member, Craig, is a friend of Lexies.  He speaks to her and she agrees to work with them, but on her terms.  Arrangements are made and the band members are now staying at Lexie's ranch and working on their new album.  Daemon is hot, of that there is no doubt, and he knows how to bring on the charm.  He is also determined to have Lexie.  Slowly, Lexie finds her resolve weakening and despite her attempts to not give in, Daemon's hot kisses melt away any remaining resistance, and she finally allows herself to feel again.  Alexia's life hasn't been easy, which is something Daemon finds out, and he wants nothing more than to help her, to hold her.  Daemon has a sordid past of his own and is harboring his own dark secrets, but when he finds out the things that have happened to Lexie, he finds a kindred spirit who also has a dark and secret past.  His heart is truly touched by her pain and her grief, and he wants to do whatever he can to help her.  The chemistry between them is hot and they connect on a deeper level as a result of their love of music, but a hidden threat from Lexie's past is rearing its ugly head and threatening not only her, but her family, those related by blood, and those related by love and friendship.  With the odds stacked against them, will they be able to finally be free and be together, or will threatening circumstances and situations be more than they can survive?Killing Me Softly is romantic, thrilling, and suspenseful.  I loved the story line, and I really liked the characters.  The romance between Lexie and Daemon was hot, and the chemistry between Lexie and Daemon is intense, connecting them deeply on an emotional and physical level.  There are quite a few twists, turns, and mystery, as well as danger and murder in the story that keep you turning the pages, eager for more.  There are several action-packed scenes as well, that are also very thrilling.  The secondary characters were really great, and I have to say I liked them all, for the most part.  There are even short chapters throughout the book that relate the stalker's point of view.  I found Killing Me Softly to be an interesting read that kept me on my toes, and I would definitely recommend it.
