Saving Sienna

I could feel the heat between Sienna and Carson right from the start ... their chemistry is off the charts. Sienna is the one who is leery about starting a relationship, while Carson is the one who seems to be all in. It just felt like their story started in the middle. I know we got a glimpse of them in the previous books, but not enough to form the start to their story.

Sienna is a PI and Carson is a detective and when Sienna's house is broken into, the person she contacts is Carson. Sienna can handle herself, but when her clients start dropping like flies, she seeks Carson out because she knows he will keep her safe. But her heart being safe is another story,

SAVING SIENNA is the third instalment in Katie Reus’ contemporary, adult MACARTHUR FAMILY romantic suspense series of novellas focusing on the MacArthur Family. This is PI Sienna MacArthur, and Detective Carson Irish’s story line. SAVING SIENNA can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Sienna and Carson) SAVING SIENNA follows the building romance and relationship between private investigator Sienna MacArthur, and Detective Carson Irish. Four months earlier Sienna and Carson spent one glorious night together but Sienna ghosted Carson the next morning. Fast forward to present day wherein, while working on a case, Sienna is ‘saved’ by Carson. A break in at her home has Sienna calling in a favor from our story line hero, a favor that finds our couple on the run when a couple of Sienna’s clients are murdered, and our heroine is targeted by an unknown assailant. What ensues is the second chance, building romance and relationship between Sienna and Carson, and the potential fall-out as our couple struggle to stay one-step ahead of the person gunning for our story line heroine.

The relationship between Sienna and Carson is one of second chances, of a sorts. Four months earlier, Sienna’s brother, and Carson’s sister were married placing our couple together for one night of fun but Carson never forgot about our story line heroine, and found himself wondering what happened, and where everything went wrong. Sienna MacArthur knows her lifestyle can be dangerous, and isn’t willing to place anyone in the direct line of fire including Detective Carson Irish but Carson knows danger first hand, and isn’t willing to accept Sienna’s excuses any longer. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

We are reintroduced to Kathryn and Daniel (Falling for Irish #1), Brodie MacArthur (Unintended Target 2); Detective Julian Ruiz, as well as several clients for which our heroine works. The requisite evil has many faces.

SAVING SIENNA is a story of betrayal and vengeance, family and relationships, desperation and murder. The premise is intriguing and captivating; the romance is seductive ; the characters are animated and energetic. Another wonderful instalment in Katie Reus’s MACARTHUR FAMILY series of novellas.
