"Teasing the reader by blending hot sex and a mystery."

"Let me get this straight. You want to create a sex scandal?"

When Zane Masterson suggested to his twin brother Grey that they trade places for a few days, it was only to assist his brother, not fall in love. As Grey, Zane must deal with not only someone trying to sabotage the family newspaper, but also with a stalker, in the tantalizing form of one Toni Maxwell.

Determined to save her father's job and convince a senator fixated on marriage to her that she isn't always miss perfection, Toni focuses on the scandal surrounding Grey Masterson after his ex-girlfriend published her diary, a tell all book about the kinkiness of their affair. A sex scandal with him would be perfect, and would be beneficial to them both. After her first attempt at gaining Grey's attention fails, Toni ups the ante and finally succeeds in getting her man. But now the trouble is getting him to do what she wants, and getting the senator to believe what he reads about them is true.

Intrigued by Miss Maxwell, Zane whisks them away to his brother's island and proceeds to discover Toni's threshold for pleasure. As Zane tries to find out why Toni has been stalking Grey, and discover who is intent upon sabotaging the newspaper, the worlds of passion and mystery collide.

As the story unfolded, I was riveted. Like the steaminess of its companion book, DOUBLE THE PLEASURE by Julie Elizabeth Leto, DOUBLE THE THRILL by Susan Kearney oozed sex appeal and intrigue from page one.

I now know what Zane does with Grey's stalker and it still sends shivers down my spine. A naked moonlight ride on a remote island with a handsome, carefree hero. Susan Kearney did a wonderful job of teasing the reader alongside Toni, while blending hot sex and a bit of mystery.

Combined together, DOUBLE THE PLEASURE and DOUBLE THE THRILL are definitely that.
