Lottie Santori left the safety of family in Chicago for a small town in Pennsylvania where a serial killer once lived. She arrives at the old Seaton House hotel only to find that it’s no longer rents rooms, but is now the private residence of Simon Lebeaux. Simon is a troubled person, who wants to be left alone with the ghosts of his past, but Lottie refuses to go away. Lottie on the other hand, needs the information that’s buried inside the hotel and sees its sexy owner as a bonus. When some accidents force the couple together, the sparks fly. But the sparks don’t change the man inside and Lottie must choose to wait for the man to make peace with his pat or walk away from potentially the most important person in her life.
This Dark and Sexy Night story is written in a mix of first and third person, with point of view changes each chapter. I love the way that Leslie announces the character’s point of view at the start of each chapter. This book is a little on the dark side, which is 180 degrees out of phase when compared to Leslie’s previous Trouble book (HQN). In fact it was very hard for me to believe that both books were written by the same author, which merely shows how talented she is. If you like dark books, then this one should be at the top of your reading pile.
