"4 Stars! I liked this book and would put it on my keeper shelf. It's not for the faint-hearted and the author gets into the mind of the killer very well. She gives us a riveting story that is hard to put down and you'll find yourself busy turning the pages to find out the identify of the killer and cheering for the unlikely love between LeAnn and 'Snake.'"—Brenda Gill, Simply eBooks
"Powerfully written characters, morally challenging situations and emotionally twisting plots have become a trademark of Patricia Rasey's writing. Once started, this book is nearly impossible to put down. If the good ol' whodunit mystery doesn't snare your interest, the forbidden sexual attraction between Snake and LeAnne will. With enough detail to run the imagination screen inside your head, Kiss Of Deceit is a definite must-read!"—Aimee McLeod
"Rasey weaves a whole host of intriguing characters throughout her story. Creating the challenge of trying to guess who is really guilty and who is innocent. And just about the time you think you have it, she throws in a hairpin curve and you're right back where you started. I read this book in one sitting, unable to tear myself from its clenches. And I got to the end thinking, all was right with the world once more, the good guy wins, the bad guys loses, the lovers live happily ever after. Then Rasey, threw in a curve. Powerful, Sizzling and Taunting. This is a volatile read!!!"—PJ Johnson

"...Ms. Rasey has penned a stimulating, graphic tale with Kiss of Deceit, filled with unusual yet unique characters. Her clever dialog, three-dimensional characters and a who-done-it-plot rich with unsavory characters provides a suspenseful read for anyone looking for something a tad beyond the norm, and one that compels constant page turning until the guilty party is discovered in an electrifying conclusion."—Denise M. Clark, Denise's Pieces Book Reviews
"A novel with a lurid, rather graphic style—very frank. It hits you in the face and stays there. It rings true in places and the pace is such to keep you in thrall to the end. It is hip and very modern. This is an interesting novel, with an active story line that will keep you reading."—Patricia E. Rowan, eBook Reviews Weekly
"Ms. Rasey writes a wonderful novel of suspense in both the romance and the 'who done it'. Her characters are real and from the get go: it is easy to care about them, root for them. She uses just the right amount of description and analogies to have the correct balance of showing versus telling. The plot is easy to follow, yet suspenseful. Will she stay with her fiancé? Will she go to the mysterious Snake? Who is killing all these women? I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romantic suspense. The pace keeps the reader interested and wanting more...In Rasey's next book, she chooses to continue with the same character and I am anxious to read it."—Laurie Biundo, eBook Reviews Weekly
"...A tremendous police procedural with enough romance that will entice romantic suspense readers, too. The story line moves faster than Snake's Harley can go, but insures that he and LeAnne come across as real people. On the surface the lead protagonists seem opposite one another as he lives for the day in his grassroots lifestyle while she looks to the future yet both have deep senses of loyalty and duty. There are plenty of suspects with motives provided for each one. No deceit, this is a winner for those fans who enjoy a taut mystery with plenty of racy tension..."—Harriet Klausner, The Best Reviews
...He grinned sinfully. “I don't think what just occurred would fall under the category of funny business. I don't know about you, but the thought of screwing you heats my blood, not tickles my funny bone.”
“Do you have to be so crude? Screwing?” Her gaze widened. “Is that what you'd call it?”
“What would you call it, LeAnne?”
He advanced on her until they were mere inches apart again. His hot breath spanned her cheeks. She would be lying if she said she did not desire this man. The juncture of her thighs still throbbed from his touch.
“Making love?” he whispered softly.
“It's a more civilized way of putting it,” she said, shifting her stance.
“There's nothing civilized about what I'd like to do with you. Besides, making love means there is love involved. Am I right?”
She might have laughed had he not been so serious. Instead, she remained silent.
“You planning on falling in love with me, Detective?”
“No,” she stated, hoping she was never that unwise.
“Then it's screwing.”
