by Karen RobardsThe last time I read a Karen Robards novel was about a year ago. I thought it was OK, I don’t even remember the name of it. So I was ho-hum about Superstition. But I was pleasantly surprised. It was a thriller that I couldn’t put down with a nice love story.
Nichole is from Chicago looking for a big break in TV journalism that will get her to her dream job. All she needs is the help of the local psychic to solve the murders of two young women 15 years ago.
Chief of Police, Joe Franconi, instantly attracted to Nicky, must work with her to solve the recent murder of one of Nicky’s friends which, seems to be connected to the murders 15 years ago.
The story is good although I think the suspects were limited and therefore easy to guess. But I truly enjoyed the relationship between Joe and Nicky. She is the ambitious career woman who at the same time can be attracted to a man. Why deny herself the ability to engage in a fling, even in the middle of a killing rampage targeted at her. After all Joe is hunky with black hair, bronzed, broad shouldered, chiseled features with muscles. And he’s got an attitude to match. What’s even better is that as their relationship progresses Joe becomes Nicky’s fulltime bodyguard. HOT! The love scenes are warm but you’ll enjoy.
