Drop the clutch, let’s burn out and roll! Patricia Rasey delivers the goods once again with this tight, fast paced tale of love, sex, kidnapping and murder. While this book definitely is a good stand alone read, it’s even more fun if you’ve read the first book in the series, “Kiss of Deceit”. But if you haven’t, don’t worry; it isn’t necessary to enjoy Eyes of Betrayal.
Two years have passed since the love of LeAnne’s life roared out of it on his Fatboy. Two years of lonely, then right out of blue Marcus/Snake is back in town, with a stunningly beautiful woman on the back of his bike. And he’s brought another friend a sexy but unsavory former club biker who just got out of the big house after pulling a stint for dealing meth.
They haven’t even been in town a week when the murders start happening again. The beautiful Ginnie now lays in the morgue, strangled to death in exactly the same way Marcus’s wife died two years before. Detective LeAnne McVeigh along with the rest of the small town’s sheriffs dept. struggle to deal with the reality that the man who tried to kill LeAnne wasn’t the only murder on the loose in their little town. A little town where everyone knows everyone…or at least thinks they do.
Since Ginnie was instrumental in turning evidence that sent a large meth manufacturer up for many years, and the former “ole lady” of the head of one of the meanest, largest, drug dealing bunch of bad-asses on wheels, the Feds come in and take over the investigation.
After all they had said they were going to protect Ginnie, just like Tate had tried to do by convincing Marcus to bring her along with them. But the Feds don’t believe it, and LeAnne becomes a “subject of interest” by association in their investigation. As does her best friend Whitney, the local doctor, since she agreed to help out Marcus’s friend, Tate/Villain, by providing him with an alibi for the night Ginnie was murdered. And in doing so, winds up putting her own life in danger, all for the crazy, magnetic attraction she finds herself lost in.
When Tate calls the man who was the closest thing he ever had to family, he learns that his former club intends to use Whitney as a pawn to draw him in. He drives eight hard hours to try to get to her before they do, and walks straight into a trap. He and Whitney are kidnapped, and Whitney is thrown into a world totally alien. A world where a man’s word is the most important possession he has, where loyalty and honor ride side by side cruelty and intimidation. And that’s all I’m going to say….except….Make Sure Some One is Dead before you Bury them…..
Patricia definitely/impressively does her homework, and her in depth research shines through in a realistically tightly woven tale that will definitely get your motor running.
