Exposed in Darkness

I didn’t want it to ever end 😍😍😍

Love this author, I cannot wait to read the rest of this series. This book kept me turning page after page with the twists and turns and a romance that I am sure will end in a happily ever after in the following books.

The twists and turns in this book are awesome. The author did a wonderful job of hinting at possible outcomes, but not making the ending too far from the plot that it was unbelievable.

I gave this book a five because the storyline is terrific but I wanted to give a 4 for lack of hotness. If your looking for a book that will keep you wanting more and doesn’t have any of the hot and steamy parts that we often crave in our romance novels, this is the one for you. Although, I truly missed those hot scenes, I extremely enjoyed the flow and mystery of this book. I couldn’t put it down. I needed to find out more about Romeo and if Declan was going to get the girl. Ultimately, I would recommend this book to those who enjoy the thrill of mystery Romance but don’t need the hot and steamy sex!😜 I will be reading the next book in the series to see if the trend continues or if we can get more of the yum!

Great story and intriguing characters. Can't wait for the next story!

Love the action, the details and the strong woman story. Could not put it down. Looking forward to reading more.

This was my first experience with Mrs Sunseri and I can tell you it would not be the last. The book kept me captivated at every turn and could not figure it out until the end. Great suspense and characters. Can't wait for the next book!

Exposed in Darkness is Heather Sunseri’s first adult suspense novel. Brooke Fairfax has been mourning the death of her husband, Teddy for the last year. Brooke quit her job as an FBI analyst and shut out everyone. Then she receives an email with a video attached from Romeo. Brooke has also not heard from Romeo in the year since Teddy passed away. Romeo is a CHS (confidential human source) that only worked with Brooke. The video shows the murder of Melissa Centers, Kentucky’s lieutenant governor. It is believed that the actual target was Kentucky’s governor, Truman Spencer. Truman happens to be Brooke’s brother-in-law. Special Agent Mike Donaldson contacts Brooke to get her to rejoin them for the case. Brooke refuses their request, but she will not let anything happen to Truman. Brooke packs and heads for Kentucky. The FBI believes that businessman, Declan O’Roark might be behind the crime, and they want Brooke to get close to him. The attraction between Declan and Brooke is instantaneous, but Brooke feels guilty about her feelings (because of Teddy). Then there is a second victim. He died after drinking bourbon from Declan’s Elkhorn Reserve Distilleries (just like Melissa Centers). Someone is trying to set up Declan and Brooke is determined find out who these heinous acts. Will Brooke be able to find the perpetrator before there are more victims? Exposed in Darkness is well-written and it will capture your attention right away. This is not the type of book that you can skim. There are many necessary details. It does slow down the pace of the book a little bit, but I was still riveted. I found the mystery to be complex with many twists and turns. I had to pay very careful attention so I could gather the clues and figure out who was behind the crimes. At the end of the book, the reader will still be left with one question. Who is Romeo? Unfortunately, readers will have to wait for the next book to get answers (we hope). The good news is that we do not have long to wait. I give Exposed in Darkness 4.5 out of 5 stars. I did find that the romance between Declan and Brooke was predictable and a little soppy. I wish the romance portion had been as sophisticated as the rest of the novel. Otherwise, I just loved Exposed in Darkness and look forward to reading Cut in Darkness. Heather Sunseri did a masterful job with her first adult novel (she has written young adult novels prior to Exposed in Darkness).

The sneak peek was a tantalizing taste of what was to come. I was impatiently waiting for the completed story and it was well worth the wait. Thoroughly enjoyed this book - you will too!!

After the author teased us with a sneak peak, I couldn't wait to read the full story. This book had me going til the very end. It also touches on a love for shoes!!! Great read.
