Honeymoon To Die For by Dianna Love – a Review

Links to order: Amazon / Barnes & Noble

Review:

Honeymoon to Die For is the 3^rd book in Dianna Love’s wonderful Slye Temp series. It seems with each book, this series gets better.  The minute I started this book, I could not put it down. It was so exciting, with wonderful characters; something that Dianna is known for.  If you have not read any of Dianna’s books, she has an uncanny ability of always creating wonderful characters that you care about, as well as the secondary characters. 

Ryder Van Dyke is our hero in Honeymoon To Die For, and what a hero he is.  It didn’t take me long to fall for Ryder, and I think our heroine, Bianca Brady started to fall for him quickly too.  The only difference is she thought he was the enemy, and fought hard to fight her attraction. Not me, I fell for him hook, line and sinker all the way.

The story starts with Ryder in prison for a crime he did not commit, and he has been there for 4 months.  He knows he has been framed, and Sabrina and the Slye Temp team has tried to help him to no avail. Ryder’s father is a billionaire business man, and Ryder suspects his father had a hand in framing him.  The FBI wants Ryder’s father badly, and he is offered a deal to help them get the information they need.  Enter Bianca, who is an FBI agent, who had a hand in sending Ryder to prison.  Bianca is an expert analyst, with special computer skills.  It is Ryder who insists that Bianca go with him back home to his father, to help find the information the FBI needs, as well as hoping to find out who framed him.

I will not give spoilers, but to tell you that this was such an exciting story from start to finish; another wonderful trademark for Dianna Love’s storytelling.  Honeymoon To Die For is a romance suspense thriller all the way.  As Ryder and Bianca worked together as a married couple, there were so many tense dangerous moments where both of them had their lives on the line, and us on the edge of our seat.  But the best of part of this book, was the buildup of their romance. I loved Ryder from the start, and how he falls hard for Bianca, giving him something he has never had….love.  It was a treasure to watch Bianca fight off her attraction to Ryder, as she has not had good experiences with men, only to fall hard.  This was such a beautiful romance, one of the best I have read this year.  I so enjoyed watching this unlikely couple fall in love, despite the dangers surrounding them.  The sexual chemistry between them was hot and steamy, and written so well by Dianna.  totally awesome. 

Honeymoon to Die For is a great book, that blew me away.  If you like romance and suspense thrillers, you must read this book.  Dianna Love is a wonderful writer, and I have become such a big fan of her work.  I suggest you read this series from the beginning, but Honeymoon To Die For is one not to be missed. I for one cannot wait for the next book in this series, Kiss The Enemy, coming in December.

To an undercover agent, she’s a Person of Interest. He’s interested.

Escaping the compound of a deadly international felon–with a fortune in rare, stolen coins hidden on her body–elite athlete Angel Farentino has to make the most important run of her life. Literally. With her father in prison, where he belongs, and a prior undeserved conviction hanging over her head, she has nowhere to turn and no one to trust.

One step ahead of lethal men and dogs on her trail, she runs into the arms of a dark stranger willing to help her if she’d let him. But that would only get the sexy pilot killed.

Between figuring out who’s sabotaging his undercover work for the DEA and trying to save his baby sister from herself, Zane Jackson has enough on his plate. The last thing he needs is to get entangled with a woman who’s treading on the wrong side of the law.

She’s convinced he’s guilty. He knows he’s not.
Can they survive long enough to prove who’s right?

Former Slye Temp agent Ryder Van Dyke is stuck in an Atlanta penitentiary facing the death penalty after being framed for murder. When his last hope for freedom disintegrates, Ryder is offered a commuted sentence – if he helps the FBI nail a deadly criminal … his father. But Ryder has his own plan to use this opportunity to prove his innocence, or tap his Special Forces skills to disappear because he is not going back in that cage.

FBI analyst Bianca Brady spent two long years substantiating that the head of Van Dyke Enterprises is guilty of funneling weapons to terrorists. Now all she needs is the proof. When her research leads to a potential murder conviction for Ryder Van Dyke, Bianca sees a clear path to take down Ryder’s father and to gain justice for her best friend who died at the hands of a terrorist.

Bianca’s the last person Ryder will trust after she led the charge to put him in prison, but when Ryder accepts the FBI offer there’s only one way to get an agent inside his father’s high-security family compound – as Ryder’s legal wife. The unlikely pair must navigate a minefield of deadly secrets, threats to national security, and a killer with a vendetta, to stay alive until they uncover the truth. But when Bianca becomes the killer’s next target, Ryder is forced to make a choice – give up his freedom or risk the life of the woman who’s stolen his heart.
