BLURB:

EXCERPT:

Lisa’s aching back muscles were so tight from hunching over her computer ten to twelve hours a day every day for the past weeks. She needed a massage. Better yet, she needed a vacation.

She rolled over onto her back and stared above at the open-beamed ceiling of her log cabin in the North Carolina mountains outside Hickoryville. She studied the accumulation of dust bunnies along the beams.

The setting sun cast shadows across the room as she gazed out the two-story floor-to-ceiling windows on one wall. The view of the tranquil scenic mountains in its resplendent fall glory replaced some of the angst she felt about her work. She relaxed and stretched her arms above her head. Her stomach growled, reminding her she hadn’t had any lunch today.

After putting down fresh water and food for Godiva she opened the fridge, hoping to find something for dinner. She knew what she would find but she looked anyway. It was empty except for a couple of eggs, and an older-than-she-knew container of yogurt she couldn’t trust anymore.

She walked the short distance from the kitchen to the corner of the large open room to her desk, which held her state-of-the-art computer system with three screens and a laptop. She sat down to start turning everything off when the phone on her desk rang.

“Hi, is Sam Brower there?”

“This is the last number I had for him. I really need to talk to him ASAP.”

“No, I need to talk to Sam.”

“My name’s Luke and he can reach me at…” Then the phone line went dead. He had hung up.
What is it about men? They never say good-bye.

I wrote my first story in the fourth grade in the form of a play which actually was produced by my teacher for parents and students. I continued writing and majored in English in College. I practice everyday to improve my craft.

I am a member of RWA (Romance Writers of America), TARA (Tampa Area Romance Authors), PRO, CSI (Crime Scene Investigations), just to mention a few.

The plot in the book is a common thread through out the series.  I have not read the first two books in the series but I plan on it very, very soon.  Ms. Confer weaves a great deal of detail about human trafficking and the inner workings of gangs but doesn’t beat you over the head with it.  Her touch is spot on and she doesn’t make your head spin with unwanted filler about how the inner workings of the FBI database works.  Trust me, I’ve read books like that and I got bored.  (If I want to read that, I’ll re-read a Tom Clancey book and I’ve read all of his books at least twice)  She weaves the plot with the romance perfectly.  The plot and the romance between Sam and Lisa are intertwined together and it made me root for them that much more.

While the book is on the more sensual side, don’t expect graphic details in the bedroom.  Ms. Confer uses the time that Lisa and Sam have with one another well and lets the emotions and feelings of her characters play out.  Sometimes, I got frustrated with them but that just made their romance that much better.

I highly recommend Deadly Deliverance for any romantic suspense fan.  You can put away your dictionary of over used romantic suspense jargon to read it.  Ms. Confer knows that she has intelligent readers and it shows in her writing.  She respects the reader and now this reader is hooked.
