RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Thrilling! Sharon Sala is one of my favorite authors and she did not disappoint with her latest novel, CUT THROAT.

Cat Dupree is a bounty hunter that is determined to solve the mystery of her childhood. She was left for dead with her throat slashed, lying next to her dead father. She was thirteen. Since that terrifying episode, revenge has become Cat's mission in life. However, Cat's lover, Wilson McKay, is in the way. Cat doesn't want any distractions to keep her from her deadly vow, even Wilson. While Cat is attempting to keep her distance from Wilson, she suspects that the man responsible for her traumatic childhood is still alive. Cat follows a dangerous path that takes her to Mexico, where Wilson may not even be able to save her from destruction.

CUT THROAT has yet another example of a strong heroine who knows what she wants, but gets distracted by a man. But, Wilson is more than just a man—he is Cat's match, both physically and emotionally.

CUT THROAT is charged with action, suspense, and sexual heat. I read this book in one sitting. Sharon Sala has always delivered and is a strong voice in romantic suspense, but this novel is just another reason she is a New York Times bestselling novelist.
