Lady in Red

I'm always grateful to discover an author that writes with such passion. Deirdre Savoy is one such writer and her book "Lady in Red" just adds to her amazing stream of sensuous love stories. In the story, we're introduced to the world of Scarlet "Carly" Thompson, CEO of a million dollar cosmetic company and the daughter of a controlling ex-starlet. As a promise to her dying father, Carly puts her life on hold to take care of her mother Charlotte, while allowing the company to become her life. However, Charlotte, who at times was overbearing, began to receive strange phone calls and notes, which would no doubt brings past sins to the present -- and put her daughter in danger. Enter, Jackson Trent. The former NY cop, now owner of his own PI firm, is called in by Charlotte to help protect Carly. Initially, Jackson wants nothing to do with the case, but a promise to his deceased father and an undeniable attraction to Carly, pulls him into a case filled with murder, greed and unexpected romance. Ms. Savoy never lets me down! This book was chockfull of passion, humor, and suspense. The secondary characters were wonderful, especially Drew, Jackson's cousin. Jackson and Carly were hot and passionate together and the loves scenes were to die for! I especially enjoyed another trip back to Martha's Vineyard. Great, read!

Carly (cosmetics company owner)has an overprotective mother that has hired a P.I. to watch her. But the secrets come to life because the P.I. discovers some things that may destroy the company and bring to life the secrets Carly's mother has been trying to keep hide.A very good book, I'm sure you will enjoy it.

All of her life, Scarlet "Carly" Thompson has believed that her mother Charlotte was a little eccentric and unusually and unnecessarily paranoid about their family-owned cosmetics business. When Charlotte hires private investigator Jackson Trent to become Carly's bodyguard, Carly is undeniably upset and refuses to fall privy, again, to her mother's shenanigans. With Jackson's help, it is soon revealed that Charlotte is not one fry short of a Happy Meal, but instead has a valid reason for her fears. During the course of the investigation, much to Carly's dismay, she finds herself very attracted to Jackson, but because of her low self-esteem, she doesn't act upon it. Even when Jackson reveals his attraction for her, Carly is still a little leery. Will Carly get past her insecurities before it is too late? LADY IN RED was a very good read. Every time I thought I had solved the mystery, I found myself completely wrong. I commend Savoy for penning a novel that not only had strong characters, but also one that is a perfect combination of a beautiful romance and riveting suspense. Fans of Savoy will not be disappointed. Reviewed by Renee Williams of The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers

The plot to this story was truly wellwritten and from the begining to the end of the book, you won'twant to put the book down. Ms Savoy is no doubt in the samecategory as Brenda Jackson when it comes to writing romance novels. I have not disclosed the story, beause I want everyoneto read this book. Trust me!
