Review by PoppyTo escape a deadly stalker, Caitlin Fitzgerald flees her home in Ireland and takes a governess job in the top end of Australia. In her chosen safe haven, she has poisonous snakes, spiders, and crocodiles to contend with. And the very handsome and moody station owner, Jake Monterey, to keep her awake at night. But not only is Caitlin at risk of losing her heart to Jake and his two adorable children, the danger she thought she’d left behind has found her again. Has she unwittingly placed the lives of those she loves in jeopardy?
While, perhaps not romantic suspense in the current sense of the word, With Murderous Intent is a softer, sweeter version of the genre.
Because the seeds online viagra prescription view this link eventually decay and stop giving off radiation, they don’t need to be removed. Since the ancient time, there have been references of this method of curing cheap cialis for sale and preventing diseases. But you should be aware about all its inheriting properties and remedial qualities those can recover you dramatically within a very short generic pharmacy cialis time span. In this article we strive to provide detailed information about the important precautions that should be taken when dealing with ED and cialis 5 mg http://downtownsault.org/downtown/services/allure-dance-company/ can have a huge impact on your decision. Caitlin leaves her home and country in an attempt to stay safe from a crazy ex-boyfriend, but she trades that danger for others. Much of this book reads like an Australian tour guide. We learn about flora, fauna and how to stay safe in the bush. It’s important to the tale, and quite interesting, especially to someone like me who’s never been.
Caitlin isn’t stupid, thankfully. And while she’s attracted to her new boss, Jake, she also recognizes that he’s nearly engaged. I do wish the author had made Jake’s girlfriend a bit more viable as a potential rival. It reminded me of “The Sound of Music”: the sweet nanny who adores the children versus the wealthy, gorgeous woman who can’t wait to put them in boarding school.
Still, the story has teeth and the plot was engaging enough to keep me reading. I think fewer words could have been used to tell the story and make things move along a bit more quickly. The end was heart-stopping, though, and the love story sweet.
If you don’t need non-stop action in your romantic suspense, and enjoy a touching romance, then this book might be for you.
Thank you for hosting

I grew up in Australia so I’m looking forward to reading With Murderess Intent.
Thanks for sharing the review. While I’m not sure how much I like the idea of a guidebook kind of story, I think I will like getting a wonderful picture of Austrailia like I’ve never been able to have 🙂
