From the moment I opened this book to the time i closed it all I can say is - Fast Paced. Alot of times while reading romantic suspense novels they either have no supsense or no real romance. Well this book has both. I really enjoyed it.
Addison is looking for her birth mother after the death of her adoptive parents tragic death. She decides to hire a P.I. and in turn meets Randall a complicated man helping his brother at the P.I. office till his manadory leave is up. These two characters together have good chemistry and lots of drama. Her character development was done fairly well and the romance was pretty convincing. Solid four stars for me.

I love Linda Castillo's books. However, this one I was less than thrilled with. It started with a great plot but the characters never grabbed me.
I don't understand the attraction between Randall and Addison. The twelve year age difference wasn't a problem, if they were of the same basic maturity. But even though Addison had a successful business she was lacking in logic and common sense. Her going down into that ravine was plain stupid. Randall had extremely valid reasons for her not to do it yet she climbed down 200 feet and because of her actions they ended up in a snowstorm. Randall was a crash sight investigator for the NTSB. He knew what he was doing. Her constant insistence about being involved in everything put them in a lot of danger. If she wanted to do everything herself then what was the point of hiring a PI?
I can however recommend her other books especially the Rocky Mountain Search and Rescue series.

The Perfect Victim, like Linda Castillo's other novels, is a gripping read as she produces yet another original thriller. No old tired storyline from this author!
Addison Fox is a target of a murderer as she tries to find her birth parents. Together with private investigator Randall Talbot, they probe into sealed adoption records and old criminal cases to uncover what someone is willing to kill again to hide.
This is a great suspense. Even though the identity of the murderer is no big secret, the story is still a page turner and I could not wait to see what happened in the end. Addison and Randall have a great relationship - both are strong-minded individuals who want their own way, and unwillingly compromise to appease the other!
The murderer's fate was a bit disappointing, and I wished there was a bigger punishment in store for him. But nonetheless, I'd recommend this book. Linda Castillo is a cut above many other romantic suspense authors out there.

I love Linda Castillo. Her books grab you from the begining and you can't seem to put her books down. I can't wait for her new book to come out in December. She has suspense, her books always keep you guessing and she has a touch of romance. It's got it all.

Addison Fox had no family left after her adoptive parents were killed in an auto accident ten months before. With nothing preventing her from locating her birth mother, Addison starts the search that begins something that she never expected. Finding her birth mother murdered, Addison is devestated, but determined to go on with her life. When people around her that she knows start to turn up dead, Addison realizes what they all have in common...they know who her mother was. She only has one person to turn to and she would rather do anything than ask for his help.
Randall Talbot has his own demons to fight. When Addison asks for his help, he wants to refuse. Then he's thrown right into the middle of the game, and he knows that he can't leave her to end up dead. The deeper they dig into the past, the more Randall knows that someone is going to wind up dead, and most likely it will be him and Addison. The very thought of being responsible for her life sends panic streaking through him every time he thinks of it. The more time he spends with Addison, the more he realizes that he will never be able to desert her.
My very first book by Linda Castillo was not a dissapointment. She depicted two strong characters that will hold your interest as well as keep you at the edge of your seat the entire read. The suspense in this book is very believeable and the romance is very deep due to the time both the characters are in in their lives. I will definetly pick up the subsequent Castillo book that comes out!
