This time from ParaNormalRomance reviews: https://www.paranormalromance.org/reviews/review.php?id=31422 The review is mostly a plot synopsis, but features the headline “Scorching hot with a touch of suspense” and finishes off with this nice blurb: “Cecilia Tan brings together love, suspense, and scorching sex in a story well worth reading.
