After Hudson Savage betrayed her, Dana Cardwell hoped never again ato lay eyes on the seductive cowboy. And she did't. Until a bunch of old bones showed up on her family ranch. Suddenly he was back in her life in a big wY--to investigate a de adds-old crime.
This time Hudson wasn't walking away. Because now Dana's life was on the line, as the unsuspecting target of a killer who still walked the canyon. Hudson would do whatever it took to keep Dana close. Even if it meant risking his own heart for a second chance for both of them.

1-Desire Calls by Caridad Pineiro
2-Death Calls by Caridad Piñeiro
When FBI Agent Diana Reyes fell in love with Ryder Latimer, she knew that there were things she would give up. For the passion her vampire lover brought into her life, it seemed a fair trade. Now she isnt so sure. The darkness vampires walk in wakes something inside her, something that frightens her even as it excites. Something that makes her wish for a more normal life.
Ryder understands her fears . . . and has fears of his own: losing her, of the void that would fill him without her. But when a case draws Diana into a purely human darkness, Ryder must make a decision: Can he let her go? Or will he step between her and death, no matter if she hates him afterward.

The sexy, sword-wielding stranger standing before Julie Carpenter claimed he was out to destroy a demon and that she was its next target. As he whisked her away to his fortresslike mansion high in the Hollywood hills, she could only hope Kieran was not the true danger.
For centuries Kieran had heard the legend of Destined Matesbut he never believed until now. He could read Julie's thoughts, sense her deepest desires. And he knew she wanted him just as he knew joining with her would make him strong enough to defeat any demon from hell. But the cost might be losing the woman who was his true salvation.

Daniels has more than an intriguing suspense story; she has put together an explosive tale of love, trust and the twisted ties among an embattled family

This is the first book I've read by BJ Daniels and it was fantastic. The story centers around heroine Dana Cardwell who is fighting to save her family's ranch after the death of her mother. When a skeleton is found in a well on her property her ex-fiance, Hud, comes to investigate as temporary marshal. Five years earlier Hud had viciously betrayed Dana with her own sister, leading to the severing of their relationship and Hud leaving town. Now, Hud is back in town and charged with investigating the murder of the woman found in the well. I loved this book because the writer captured the yearning of both Dana and Hud, who both still desperately love each other. I thought it was interesting that the writer conveyed all this without a major love scene, which is rare. Enjoyable mystery, love story.

What happened to the ending?? The reast of the book was pretty good, but the story ended before it was finished! 3 stars.

Dana doesn't want to sell her family's Montana ranch, but her siblings are insistent that they want the capital from it now rather than wait for gradual pay-offs in the future. Without her mother's new will, Dana doesn't really have a leg to stand on. Things get even more complicated when a body is found in an old well on the ranch. The town brings in a new marshal to investigate, and he turns out to be none other than Dana's ex-fiancee, Hud.
Daniels does good job with the intrigue element of this Harlequin novel but is only mediocre with the romance. Although Hud and Dana are believable as a couple, their only sex scene isn't really a sex scene at all. Imagine characters in a movie kissing passionately for a while then the scene fading to black. It's like that. Maybe Harlequin in general is cleaner than I remembered? Who knows. In any case, if you're after a light, almost a cozy, mystery with a touch of romance and no sex, this is for you. If your preferred escapism is steamy love scenes, you should probably look elsewhere.
