Beguiled by Deanne Gist and J. Mark Bertrand

To start off, I absolutely loved Beguiled.  The story is about Rylee Monroe, a dog walker is Charleston, being stalked at the same time that a series of burglaries are happening to her clients.  Meanwhile, reporter Logan Woods is on the story and ends up falling in love with Rylee, forcing him to choose between his job, Rylee, and getting to the bottom of the thieveries.  I felt this was an awesome plot for the romantic thriller.       

                Furthermore, the book immediately caught my interest and never lost; I had a hard time putting it down.  I also enjoyed the characterization in the story and how I was able to feel close to the characters, as if they were personal acquaintances.  Additionally, Beguiled managed to keep me on my toes, not knowing what was going to happen next.  The surprise twist toward the end of the book, which also heightened the most suspense, and where the Robin Hood burglar turned out to be a killer, was my favorite part.  Lastly, I felt the writing was very artfully done.  In closing, Beguiled is now a personal favorite of mine and great read.

Thank you to Bethany House for providing me with this book to review!
