Deadly Betrayal

3.4/5 ( ratings)

BETRAYING MIKKI. A fabulous mixture of Texas humor, heart-pounding action, sexy nuances and mounting suspense. There's plenty of excitement, plenty of intrigue, a local flavor to tickle the toughest of taste buds and a good serving of hot, steamy romance to titillate the senses. The second of Jude's Indian Creek, Texas mysteries reads like a locomotive with non-stop action from beginning to end.

When Stella's niece Mikki calls with news that she is expecting a baby by a married man who Stella considers a self-centered jerk things seemed bad enough. But when the "jerk" turns up dead after denying any responsibility for the baby and insisting that Mikki get an abortion, things get worse in a hurry.

Stella turns to Kelly McWinter to set things right but he soon discovers a tangled web of secrets and lies that threaten a young woman's freedom and put friendships to the test. Betraying Mikki is a riveting tale of greed, deception and murder served up with a generous helping of hot, steamy romance

Betraying Mikki is a totally engrossing, can't-put-it down story that draws you in and won't let you go. A bit of romance and love also creeps into the riveting storyline, giving it a wholesome feel. Ms. Atkins ties up all the loose ends quite neatly and ends the novel on solid footing. She leaves the reader anticipating more in the Texas series. All in all, an excellent read!
