BLURB

This one comes with a warning – a steamy suspense-ridden psychological thriller – think Silence of the Lambs meets 50 Shades and hold on tight! S C Cunningham writes with a skilled mix of fuelled tension, dark humour and pulsating sex scenes. Grab a glass of wine, close the bedroom door and read alone!

What happens when opposites attract – when a scorned childhood sweetheart grows into a gorgeous sexual tour de force – when a fun-loving career girl, her racy girlfriends and insatiable lovers get caught in his revenge – when sex becomes a weapon, hearts become bait and straight tastes gay – when hi-flying careers, clandestine affairs, and wannabe starlets are hunted by celebrity-hungry press? Obsession, kidnap, murder… and he’s just getting started!

MY REVIEW

He stared down at her, studying her reaction as if a rat in a science lab. With cold, calm, knowing, he gave a gentle nod of his head and smiled. She’d guessed right. Her mind raced, the realization of what he had in mind pumped sobering adrenaline through her body…

Tara loves her job in advertising and is in a bit of a dry spell in her love life.  She is the one who organizes the photo shoots, not the one in the photos, but the very private, and sexy, Italian football star, Franco Rossellini, has other ideas.  Her brief, clandestine, and very hot, tutorial teaching Franco how to relax in front of the camera has convinced him that he wants Tara in the photo shoot with him instead of the highly-paid model.  Little did they know this would carry dangerous and painful consequences for them both.

David has loved her forever.  She was the only one who was kind to him when he needed it most, but when he professed his love in a letter so many years ago, she turned him down and broke his already battered heart.  The time has come.  She must pay like the rest.

In the first of the David Trilogy, Cunningham’s characters are gradually developed by transitioning between past and present.  I’m not usually a fan of this type of storytelling, but it worked in this instance.  The inner turmoil in the characters (especially the protagonist) is intense and keeps the reader engaged and rushing to read the next chapter.  This is a riveting psychological thriller that lures you in slowly and stuns you at the end.  Book 2 here I come.  Be warned that this book contains graphic and disturbing scenes.
