HAPPY DANCE!!
Really excited about this FABULOUS review of WITHOUT A TRACE by Stephanie at The Boyfriend Bookmark!!
"Well…who knew solving a crime would be so amazingly hot? This is one adventure I am glad I found myself in the middle of. Two people who are so wrong for each other, but not because they aren’t attracted but because of who they have lost, are two people who are desperate to be together despite everything against them!
Rachel’s sister has gone missing. As her sister, Rachel is very concerned and worried that something bad is going to happen to her sister. Her sister needs regular medication for a heart condition and Rachel is determined to find her to make sure she is safe.
Matt is one of the detectives assigned to the case. But he is not looking for Rachel’s sister because he is worried about her. He sees her as a criminal that has stolen a great amount of money from the company that she worked for. But when he questions Rachel about her sister, everything that he knows is about to change.
Rachel knows that her sister is an honest and kind person and would never do the things the detective is saying. There has to be more to the story, but one look into that detective’s eyes and she knows there is so much more than just a missing person/stolen money case.
The attraction between Rachel and Matt is ridiculous. These two clearly have it bad for each other. For Matt, it could compromise his entire case. For Rachel, it could be deadly. These two have lost people in their past and refuse to go through that again. They know they each have their own attraction to one another, but until Rachel’s sister is found and the mystery is solved there will be nothing more.
Rachel is relentless in attempting to find her sister, Matt is now relentless in not only finding her sister, but protecting her too. This is a suspenseful read and one not to be missed. When these two connect for the first time, there is so much more there than just not getting caught by the bad guys. Sparks with a great fire begin to burn within… But what happens if they don’t find Rachel’s sister? If they find her, would it even be possible given those they have loved int he past for them to find something together?
This book was gripping and a pretty crazy adventure that I wasn’t expecting. I enjoyed the book a lot and though I wish there were moments in the book that would go into slow motion like they were in my mind, it is well written and full of angst. Two people who want nothing more than to find one girl and an undeniable attraction that can’t be fought…
I had to know that everyone made it out of the story. Did they? Meh… I won’t tell. But I think my heart did stop for a while in anticipation of what was to come! The characters were amazing and strong.
There was no weakness except where their hearts were concerned. They lived strong lives and neither regretted their pasts, only the people they lost. Which in this case was enough to put a huge angsty situation between them. This book just one of those books that you don’t want to put down."

Death takes an unscheduled holiday…
Giver of Life—Nyra Winters has two abilities that no witch before her has ever possessed—the power to heal and restore life. However, her constant interference in Death’s plans makes her a target of the angry god, King Titan, ruler of the Underworld.
Seeker of Death—Dym Satarius, Prince of Death, is sent to the magical realm of Ru-Noc to collect Nyra Winters. Devoid of all emotion, Dym believes this assignment will be no different than any other—collect the witch’s soul and return to hell—job done—but something goes terribly wrong and he is stranded in Nyra’s world without his powers or the ability to return to his realm.
Witch’s Touch―Where life and Death collide…
EXCERPT
“No,”
she said, hastening to her feet and halting his fingers on the top button. “I
want to do it.” When he lifted a brow, she worked her fingers beneath his.
“What?
You aren’t using magic to remove my clothes?”
“I
want to undress you. I have this fantasy, you see, of unwrapping my present
layer by layer.”
A
second brow arched. “Do go on,” his said in a choked voice and dropped his
hands to his sides. “I’d love to join you in this fantasy.”
Nyra
licked her lips and slowly worked the top button through the hole. Her fingers
trembled, but she didn’t care. She’d waited years for this moment with the
right male. Nothing was ruining it for her.
She
moved to button number two. He flinched when her fingertips brushed against his
warm flesh.
D.J.
shifted his weight and growled his impatience. “If it’s your intent to torture
me, witch, you’re succeeding beyond all your expectations.”
She
hesitated but a second, then rubbed her lips across his chest. “Join me in this
sweet torture?” she said peeping up at him through her lashes.
“Gladly.”
He curled his fingers into the left side of her waist before skimming them up
to the front bra clasp. Working the hook free, he slid the straps of the mint
green material down her shoulders, her arms, and let it glide to the floor in a
silken pool. Her panties quickly followed.
Her
nipples rubbed against his bare chest. From the back of his throat, a soft
groan escaped. He palmed her breasts, stroking the nubs with his thumbs until
they grew tight and rigid. “I don’t think you realize what you do to me,
witch.”
“What
do I do?” She searched his face, his eyes for answers. Oh the words she yearned
for him to say, but she knew he wouldn’t. She accepted that.
Color
stained his cheekbones. His chest rose and fell with each erratic breath.
“You
steal my breath,” he whispered. “All I have to do is look at you, and I…I feel
as if I’m drowning.”
“You
do the same thing to me.” Nyra pushed his shirt off his shoulders and let it
slide down his arms. It drifted to the floor, landing silently on top of her
discarded bra. Running her hands over his chest, she paused to tease one of his
flat brown nipples with her tongue. His body quivered beneath the light wet
strokes.
Drawing
a sharp breath, he slowly exhaled, but said nothing, just watched her as she
leaned into him. Settling on her knees in front of him, Nyra teasingly drew her
tongue down the soft arrow of dark hair, hesitating at the waistline of his
leather pants.
“By
the gods, don’t stop now,” D.J. said, moaning.
