Silenced

In Allison Brennan's Silenced, the 4th installment in the Lucy Kincaid romantic suspense series, this storyline was so intense and twisted from start to finish. It all started for Lucy as a analyst for the FBI, when she came to the crime scene of the dead body of Wendy James, the alleged mistress of a well-known politician. But as they work the case, her supervisor gives Lucy a hard time of her position in the case, while she works with her colleague and friend Noah Armstrong. For Ivy Harris, aka Hannah Edmunds, she had escaped the clutches from her evil father and took her younger sister Sara with her to Washington D.C. Someone's out there looking out for her and wants her dead. Then when another dead body turns up with another grisly message on the corpse, Lucy and the FBI believes it might be connected in one way or another. While she helps the DC Police, they try to connect the dots on who's hunting down these young prostitutes. And at the next crime scene, the people closest to Ivy were also killed in the line of fire. That's when Sean Rogan, Lucy's boyfriend and Noah probe the case to find people connected to them and also to Lucy with Senator Paxton, someone from Lucy's past.  When they made a remote connection from Wendy to Ivy to put the pieces together, things get heated when they tried to help Ivy in a car crash. Later on, things turn dicey into an intense standoff with an explosive ending of a life-and-death situation you would never believe.

This was another gripping and intense romantic suspense in the Lucy Kincaid series. I did care for Lucy and how she wanted to fit into the field work as an analyst for the FBI. I also cared for Ivy/Hannah, who wanted to escape from a monster who would control and mastermind his own children. An older sister who would do the same thing as she did to protect her younger sister or brother.  I do see a potential love triangle between Lucy, Sean, and Noah, though I think Sean would be a better fit for Lucy for right. I did like the great scenic settings and lush locations for the Washington D.C. area for the storyline that put us right there, front and center. This would take you a real-fast emotional roller coaster ride for you to buckle your seat belt and hang on tight with non-stop action, some sparks of romance, plenty of intense drama and lots of intrigue.
