LOVE AND MURDER IN TEXAS

It was the hottest case in Austin, and Susan Kilpatrick was the hotshot lawyer who was handpicked to defend charismatic attorney general Jake Lockhart.

The sensational trial would skyrocket Susan to the top...if she won a not-guilty verdict. But was her client an innocent man? All the evidence said that he was a lady-killer who's committed a crime of passion.

Curiously, Jake refused to discuss his defense -- instead, he tried to seduce his attorney. Would Susan succumb to his charms and chance becoming his next victim?

About the author

Dear Readers,

The love stories in my family have always been fodder for romance novels.

My maternal grandmother and grandfather simultaneously ran a business together and raised four daughters, long before it was an accepted thing to do.  Grandpa O’Dell ran the gas station and the barber shop; Grandma O’Dell managed the grocery and cooked for customers.  They were true partners and madly in love and parted, tragically, way too soon when he succumbed to cancer when he was in his early fifties.  Grandma grieved deeply but eventually picked herself up, started a new career as a cafeteria chef, and eventually found deep romantic love and happiness again, in the form of a second marriage.

This was a quick easy read. Typical Harlequin book. A little murder suspense and romance.

This was a pretty good book. It was intriguing and I liked how the author used all the characters to keep you guessing who the real killer was. The ending was one I never expected though I congratulate myself on figuring out the baby part in the beginning of the book.
