Kill Me Twice

- Roxanne St. Claire -

Heroine: Jazz Adams, private investigator and identical twin sister of Jessica Adams, a news anchor gone missing very suddenly.

Hero: Alex Romero, Cuban American alpha male, assigned as a bodyguard to Jessica Adams and ends up guarding Jazz who has taken her sister's place.

I loved that Alex and Jazz felt like more or less equals throughout this story, with different skills they each brought to the table as they tried to solve the mystery of Jessica's disappearance. Too often in romantic thrillers it feels like one of the leads, usually the woman unfortunately, is running around making stupid moves and nonsensical decisions in order to drive the plot and it results in one or both leads coming across as too stupid to leave and basically deserving whatever the villian does to them.

Here, Alex and Jazz disagree, have different approached, but ultimately resolve most of their issues in an adult way so the action feels organic instead of manipulated.

Looking forward to the rest of this series.
