I’m a redhead from TN. I was intrigued by this story. I was not expecting it to be explicit. It is really explicit. The story could have been good but the excessive detail about each activity and explicit sex scenes got in the way. I don’t need to know about a character’s choice of soap. It was weird.

This is the third book in the Cherokee Pointe trilogy, I ended up reading it before the second book because no matter where I've looked I can't seem to find it.

Anyways, this book was about red-headed women being found face down in bodies of water with a black satin ribbon tied around their necks. In the meantime Reve Sorrell comes to Cherokee Pointe in search of answers about her past. Jazzy Talbot and Reve Sorrell look stunningly alike. At birth they were abandoned and left for dead. Thirty years have passed and as Jazzy and Reve dig through their past in search of answers, someone's trying to keep it covered up at all costs.

At first, Reve Sorrell was most definitely, not my favorite character. Although as the book went on she grew on me. There was a lot of chemistry between several characters, whom I enjoyed reading about.

The ending certainly took me by surprise. The Red-Head Killer's identity surprised me a lot! I love how it's always a character who seems like they'd never have anything to do with it, that ends up being the murderer. Also, the person who was trying to keep Jazzy and Reve's past a secret took me by surprise as well. Certainly wasn't a character I would've suspected in the beginning.

What a horrible book. One big predictable cliché with horrible sex scenes.

Oh and happily ever after for all

when redheads reve and jazzy realize that they are twins, they have found more trouble than they asked for. with a killer going around killing redheads, and someone out to stop the girls from finding out who their real parents are, the girls are in some big trouble. with jazzy hurt, reve must turn to the one man she hates the most, jacob. but even with his help, the girls just may not survive to find out the truth.
