MY REVIEW

If you scroll to the end of this post, you will see that I’ve read all of Amanda Siegrist’s novels. Check out a few and you will see that I love her writing….so…to grab Cruel Consequences as soon as I could get my hands on it should come as no surprise.

Of course, it’s romantic suspense so we know what’s going to happen, but not how. Girl gets in trouble. Hero rescues girl. They fall in love. Happy ever after.

The creep factor was alive and well in Cruel Consequences by Amanda Siegrist. The villain was verrrrrry sneaky and gave me shivers here and there. He was invisible. Untouchable. There was more than one suspect and enough mystery to keep me on my toes.

Briella’s sister’s death had become a cold case, but she never let Detective Wyatt Stromberg forget about her, visiting him frequently. They were attracted to one another, but neither acted on it,. I don’t mind instalove if it helps make the story, but Briella and Wyatt’s story is a slow burn.

The characters were properly damaged. LOL I love an author that makes her characters struggle and work through their baggage, coming out smelling the roses on the other side.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Cruel Consequences by Amanda Siegrist.

GOODREADS BLURB

From USA Today bestselling author Amanda Siegrist comes an intense romantic suspense that will hold you on the edge-of-your-seat until the very end.

Some consequences can be so…cruel.

Working cold cases never bothered Detective Wyatt Stromberg—until one unimaginably brutal murder that haunts his dreams. Finding closure for the victim’s sister Briella becomes an obsession. She’s equally tormented by guilt that she failed her sister and is determined to ensure the killer faces justice.

As they grow dangerously close to the truth, and each other, the killer resurfaces, and he has his sights on Briella. Why now? Why allow a year to pass first? It doesn’t matter—Wyatt vows to protect Briella no matter what. But the killer’s sinister game of cat-and-mouse lurks around every corner, testing Wyatt’s limits.

To save Briella, Wyatt must walk a tightrope between breaking protocol and breaking the law. With lives on the line, can he toe that precarious line before the killer checkmates them all?

With harrowing twists and turns, this gripping thriller will leave romantic suspense fans on the edge of their seats. Don’t miss the next intense book in the Consequences series!

ABOUT AMANDA SIEGRIST

Love! Gimme some love and heaps of romance. I have a sappy heart that just loves two people meeting, going through the cycles of a relationship, and ultimately, falling in love. Give me a good book like that and I’m a happy camper:)

I write contemporary and romantic suspense, but I am partial to suspense. I just love a good mystery.

Besides writing, I love baking, crafts, and baseball…oh, and meeting new people. *smiles*
