BOOK REVIEW: Chasing Their Losses By Lucia Sinn

 

 

 

Synopsis:

Does anyone truly get over their first love? Cara Mackenzie is back home after a divorce, starting a new life as nutrition director at Sycamore Hospital, and in a blossoming romance with Dr. John Drakos. But when wealthy Tony Cabella—her former lover---pleads for help with his daughter’s diabetes, Cara is drawn into a dangerous web of addiction and murder.

Cara’s lunch with the Cabella children turns into a nightmare when Tony’s stepson disappears, and his wife accuses Cara of negligence. The police consider Dr. Drakos a possible suspect, but as the mystery surrounding the boy’s kidnapping heightens, unanswered questions point to a conspiracy. Who shot Tony when he and Cara met in secret, and why won’t he call the police? How is Tony connected to the new physician from California who is so hostile and demanding? Cara’s suspicions send her on a perilous journey of discovery that nearly destroys her.

CHASING THEIR LOSSES is about the haunting power of young love, and the way we deal with our losses. At the core of this novel are four damaged people: Tony and his second wife, Gail, who gave up everything for sexual fulfillment, only to find disillusion and heartbreak; John and Cara, whose passionate relationship is clouded by painful memories and fear of commitment.

 

As tragic events spin out of control, the heart thumping suspense builds, with twists and turns that take you from the lush farmland and sparkling waterfalls of Indiana to the vast, lawless sand dunes, and nude beaches of South Padre Island Texas.

REVIEW

Authors are like fishermen their goal is to hook their readers and take them on a ride. Lucia Sinn does just that in Chasing Their Losses. The opening chapter is a jaw-dropping bait and hook, hooking you in to read more. Sinn does not disappoint with the rest either as she entices, shocks and thrills you all the way through til the end in this mystery thriller romance. Her leading heroine Cara Mackenzie is one of the most well written female characters I have read in a long time making this book a refreshing read. The Character of Cara is written with such reality it is hard to think of her as a heroine even though she portrays all the traits of a heroine. Usually, the girl/boy next door type hero/heroine can often fall into the pitfalls of being boring and annoying. Sinn manages to avoid that giving us a girl next door type heroine with some spice.

Sinn’s writing style is smooth, straightforward and real with added shocks of flavors to it as she never once dulls you in her book.

Considering mystery thrillers are not my thing I enjoyed Chasing Their Losses. To be honest I will say the book blurb did not do this book justice. This book thrills and shocks. Sinn keeps you curious to read more drawing you in more and more making you feel. Making you care for these characters in dynamic situations. Soon you will discover it is 1am and you have finished the book.

My Rating **** (5 stars)
