Deadly Desires
I read Deadly Desires immediately after reading the first novel Deadly Pursuit.
This novel continued with the saga of Kira Gregory obtaining freedom from Kareem, getting her life in order and her interest in developing a relationship with Dexter Brady. As they both struggle to identify their attraction with one another. Kira sought to be totally free from Kareem. With Kareem’s arrest, his release became the focal point for the story.
Will Kira be free from Kareem? How does Brady come to reconcile his attraction to Kira? There was the issue of Kira’s continued connection with Kareem’s organization and her unworthiness brought about by Jayne Morrison’s displeasure with Brady’s interest in Kira. All of these answers.
We learn Kerry’s role with Kareem and his previous relationship with Kira and how he was on a destructive path due to his inability to move pass the past. There is mention of Kerry being a medical doctor, which is surprising. Kerry realizes that he cannot totally absolve himself, and choses to leave, although he continues to play an important part in Kira’s survival. In the end, Kira and Brady overcome many obstacles to be together.
I love romance stories and this novel doesn’t fail in developing Brady and Kira who are opposite in every way, however recognizes that they are meant to be together. This is a credit to Ann Christopher, whose has the ability to create characters that demonstrate perseverance to be together to have a happy ever after, which is what we want for our heroes and heroines.
Another great novel from Ann Christopher.
