KILL ME TWICE Roxanne St. Claire Pocket Books, October 2005, $6.99, 368 pages ISBN: 0743477308
I just put down KILL ME TWICE. It's the latest from one of my fave authors, Roxanne St. Claire. Rocki (who writes chick lit as Rocki St. Clair) has done something I didn't think possible. She ratcheted up the sexual heat in this book to the point you could deep fry an iceberg! YOWZA! It was instant combustion between Jazz and Alex. Putting the book down was more than difficult. I even snuck off to the restroom for a 20 minute break so I could read more! Rocki, if I get fired, it's all your fault!
But take a PI who doesn't need any help and give her a bodyguard who is determined to help her anyway and you have an instant recipe for conflict. Jazz wants to find her sister and Alex thinks he's guarding her sister. He knows within the first few pages that Jazz is not the perfectly perky Jessica. But Jessica is in trouble and it's his job to save her. And her hardheaded, tease of a sister who thinks nothing of using his lust for her to distract him.
Jazz needs to ditch the Cuban. He is trouble in every way possible and he thinks she needs help finding her own twin. She does whatever it takes to work her angles... and I do mean HER angles... to get to Alex. The two of them heat up the streets of Miami as they take on the people who have her sister.
Roxanne hits you with a twist at the end that you will NOT believe! I was totally blown away and never saw it coming. Fabulous writing from one of the up-and-coming authors. And if you like this one, don't stop here! Her FRENCH TWIST is just as good. Rocki has a knack for telling a story that sucks you in.
KILL ME TWICE is the first in the Bullet Catcher series by Roxanne St. Claire. I'll be looking for the next one! BB Arwen (Arwenn61) Tarot By Arwen
