Why the Devil Stalks Death by L.J. Hayward

5.0

I am riveted by the romantic suspense L.J. Hayward has entertained us with thus far. I devour every snippet of information and novella thrown my way. This installment gave me exactly what I was craving, more Ethan. Us as the reader and Jack have always been mostly in the dark about Ethan's past. That changes with this book. We learn how " the Ethan Blade " came to be. It's not a pretty story as I am sure you've guessed. My heart ached right along with Jack's with every gritty detail we learned. But I also fell in love with Ethan a little bit more. His sweet almost innocent blushes and wry sense of humor are still intact after everything he's gone through.

And if you were to leave me, I should remind you, I’m retired, not disabled

The last book had Ethan and Jack agreeing to move in together. The rest of the story stems from there. A lot goes on in this story in terms of suspense, the romantic angle, and of course steam. None of which I will go into because I think it would ruin the enjoyment of the story. It's best you go in blind with this one. There are quite a few surprises. I would rate this one a solid 5 star read and will eagerly await the conclusion of the series.
