Review: Masked by Moonlight by Nancy Gideon


Masked by Moonlight is the first book in the new Charlotte Caissie series by Nancy Gideon and a Pocket Books Romance.

Book Blurb:


IN THIS STUNNING FIRST BOOK FROM NANCY GIDEON'S SIZZLING NEW SERIES, A TENACIOUS COP AND HER SHAPE-SHIFTING ENEMY SACRIFICE EVERYTHING FOR FORBIDDEN DESIRE.

ALL SHE WANTS IS REVENGE.

New Orleans homicide detective Charlotte Caissie is dedicated to bringing down the crime boss responsible for her father's murder. Using Jimmy Legere's mysterious and irresistible right-hand man is a dangerous gamble, and not only due to his reputation as more monster than man. Because her feelings for Max Savoie are . . . complicated.

THEN HE RISKS HIS LIFE TO SAVE HERS.

Rescued from the swamps as a child, Max exists silently in Legere's shadow, heeding only his voice - until Charlotte Caissie awakens his emotions and tests his loyalties. Stepping outside his cautious rules threatens more than just his heart. He could expose his darkest secret.

NOW THEY'RE BOTH IN OVER THEIR HEADS.

Testing boundaries they weren't meant to cross means facing the truth about who and what they are - and what they need from each other. If Max is the murderer she seeks, Charlotte could be his next victim. She can't afford to trust any man. Good thing Max isn't one.



My thoughts:

Masked by Moonlight is a pretty good read.

Charlotte 'Cee Cee' Caissie is a detective with the New Orleans Police Department - following in her father's footsteps - and trying, after all these years, to bring down the man responsible for her fathers murder.

Cee Cee knows that Jimmy Legere is the man who pulled the trigger - or more likely, issued the order- but she has no evidence.

Whenever Cee Cee gets the opportunity to yank Jimmy's chain, she does.  But he always has someone at his back and that someone is Max Savoie.

Even Cee Cee's partner can see the attraction between Cee Cee and Max - but Cee Cee only sees one thing - a way to bring down Jimmy.

But things get complicated when Cee Cee and Max act on the feelings they have for one another - and things go from bad to worse when a couple of people turn up dead and Max is the main suspect.

I enjoyed Masked by Moonlight and look forward to reading the next books in this series.

I give Masked by Moonlight 3 out of 5 stars.

Yikes, that 2nd cover looks pretty painful
