Thriller with a slow burn

Scream For Me by Cynthia Eden

I liked how it opened with the killers POV and then shifted to Detectives Kyle McKenzie and Cadence Hollow.  To me, it showed me that this book was going to have depth and thrilling intrigue.  Kyle’s sister disappeared 15 years ago and that still haunts him to this day.  Cadence and Kyle have both fantasized about each other since the beginning but kept it a secret so as not to jeopardize their partnership.  The intensity of The Night Hunter’s case and search for him soon brings them together romantically.  Kyle was a fantastic hero.  Very strong, protective, sexy, and endearing. Cadence is a strong hero herself who dials down her need for control to Kyle a chance.  Kyle and Cadence make great partners and great lovers.  Their chemistry is amazing.  I thoroughly enjoyed watching their passion grow into love.  And as far as being detectives, they have loyalty and trust in each other and can anticipate each other’s actions, making them successful partners.  I thought the dual POV’s as well as adding in the killers POV made this an even more enthralling story.  I love a good romance novel that is sweet with a HEA.  But I love other genres like suspense just as much.  I felt this book was a great combination of those 2 genres.  The slow build to a dramatic and exciting ending was perfect.

Thank you, Cynthia Eden, for this wonderful book!  ~Dana

I read this book as a standalone, but it is the 3^rd in the ‘For Me’ series.

Blurb:

Nothing is deeper than the desire they can’t fight—or deadlier than the evil they can’t escape.

They were only supposed to have a professional relationship, but FBI agent Kyle McKenzie has been fantasizing about his sexy partner, Cadence Hollow, from the moment they first met. It takes the darkest case of their careers to finally bring their hidden desire bubbling to the surface. Once they’re in each other’s arms, though, they swear that nothing short of death will part them. The Night Hunter—a cunning stalker whose four-state, fifteen-year abduction spree began in Paradox, Alabama, with Kyle’s sister—may be only too happy to oblige.

In the small town, Kyle must confront the painful past he’s been hiding from Cadence. Kyle vows to put the Hunter behind bars…or in the ground. But the one thing that obsesses Kyle more than his sister’s grim fate—his furious love for Cadence—is the weapon the Hunter will use to lure his pursuers into the mouth of a murderous trap.
