The Devil She Knew
2018 - re-released
First published in 2013 by Crimson Romance
"You have to trust somebody, Cassidy. It might as well be me," he said. But she didn't know him. And something her mother taught her once always stayed with her: 'Better the devil you know than the devil you don't.'
When reputed mobster Tony DelMorrie feuds with his girlfriend and wins the fight by killing her, Cassidy Hoake is the only witness. She quickly becomes a target when DelMorrie skips bail - running is Cassidy’s only option. Now, she’s hiding from the devil, living in a small Ohio town, aware that only her anonymity protects her. She can’t afford complications like Clay Cestra. His police uniform fits like a second skin and he looks even better with his clothes off. But he is the law and she is a fugitive. A life with him means risking everything, confronting her demons and defeating the devil.

Fantastic
I inhaled this book! Loved, loved, loved it. The hero and heroine are fantastic and flawed; the supporting characters are delightful. There’s the right mix of suspense, action, laughter and tragedy that it was never too light, never too heavy, and always just the right amount of sexy. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy.

Better than the first
I read Rena Koontz’s debut novel “Love’s Secret Fire” and was awed by the writing and the characters. I loved that book and couldn’t wait for her second one, “The Devil She Knew.” It didn’t disappoint. It’s better than the first. There was drama from the first page, and it never stopped. Cassidy Hoake witnessed a murder and was running for her life. In pops a cop, Clay Cestra, who suspects she isn’t who she’s pretending to be. When he finds out the trouble she’s in, he makes it his life’s mission to protect her and while doing so, falls hard for her. Great job, Rena. Don’t make us wait too long for the next one.

MARVELOUS STORY
This book had a great storyline that kept things moving. The characters were well written and interesting. The story ended with some very good action as justice was served.

It kept me turning pages...
Enjoyed this book a lot and it kept me reading late into the night. The H/h were very likable and well-developed. The villains were a little bumbling but they managed to work their evil intent. I felt that the H definitely invaded the h's privacy repeatedly and I kept waiting for her to get angry about that. The story kept my interest all the way through and I would read other books by this author.
