The latest case assigned to Detective Taylor O’Ryan involves the murder of a woman found along a stretch of remote sand in Palm Beach County. During her investigation, Taylor finds herself thrust into some of Florida’s rich and famous social circles – a world completely opposite from her upbringing – and trying to resist personal involvement with one of her prime suspects.

Having built his prosperous construction company from the ground up, Nicholas Carrera now enjoys his reputation as a shrewd and wealthy businessman, as well as a playboy. Despite his dating history, no one has ever intrigued him the way Taylor effortlessly does and he’s determined to have her.

As the case unfolds, danger lurks closer than Taylor may realize. Will she solve this crime before another – possibly herself – falls victim to the killer?

Ms. Cambria has produced a mystery that is gripping from beginning to end. As the investigation heats up, so does the relationship between the Taylor and Nick, which is part of what makes Point Blank a spectacular blend of guessing-game suspense and captivating romance. Ms. Cambria also delivers two characters that are extremely appealing. Taylor is a brave, complex, and admirable modern-day heroine, and Nick is an attractive hero, strong and supportive, that will surely have many readers sighing in envy – at least I know I was. Point Blank is a well-crafted romantic thriller, one I recommend you don’t miss out on.
