"Are you hungry or not? I'm asking because in about a minute, you're going to be flat on your back on that bed with a very aroused man on top of you."
Uuhhhh, yes please? If I was going to make up my very own hero, that would actually come to life, it would so be Michael Brandt. I loved everything about this man and enjoyed the hell out of Deadly Offerings. I love a good romantic suspense and Alexa Grace did a fantastic job of combining a fantastic suspense and a lovely romance and actually making it believable.
One of the things I loved most was that the romance between Michael and Anne didn't happen over 3 days which is what you find so often in Romantic Suspense. Their relationship happened over weeks and months, so you can really believe these two have fallen for each other. It was absolutely delicious too! Like give you little shivers and tingles delicious.

"Why are we here?" "I thought it was time I introduced you to one of my favorite things--star gazing." "Star gazing? Really? Okay, I'm curious. What are some of your other favorite things? Book clubs? Bird watching? Basket weaving? Scrapbooking?" Maybe if she said something annoying, she could focus on something besides the way his tanned skin glistened in the moonlight; the way his low voice, deep and sensual, sent a ripple through her body. "I'm sure those are fine favorite things for some. For me, there's nothing like a cold, cold beer on a hot summer night, and slow dancing in the dark with someone that sends electricity through your body like a hot, sizzling strike of lightning. And then there's kissing." He turned on his side, his fingers intimately trailing down her cheek before he rubbed his thumb across her lower lip until he felt her tremble. "Not much can beat an evening filled with deep, hot kisses." He lay on his back gazing at the stars. "Do you agree?" She took a ragged breath and nodded.
Michael's this big guy and tough as all get out but he's so gentle with Anne. I loved watching him take care of her despite her protests. He's sexy as hell and whew when he gets a little pissed he's really something else. I loved watching him put down his foot. It's one of those suck in your breath "oh my" things. <g> Anne wasn't a bad heroine herself but sometimes I wanted her to just accept Michael and not push him away so much. Still don't know how she kept that up so long because seriously. This man. Holy flipping sexy. She had the best of intentions with everything she did but "gah" just a little sometimes, ya know?
The writing is a little different in Deadly Offerings and flows between the different characters point of view which took me a couple chapters to get used to but after I did I found that I really liked the style and how easily it flipped between them.
The suspense was interesting and there are some definite creep you out things going on. It also lets you get to know a couple of the future characters just a little. And I can already tell I'm going to love them. There's a lot of teasing between all of the different couples (at least from the male side of things) and I absolutely love the feel of it.
If you love romantic suspense Deadly Offerings is definitely one to check out and as of this post it's FREE on Amazon and B&N. Damn good deal, right? Can't beat a great read with fabulous characters and a storyline that'll keep you guessing along the way and then getting it for free on top of it!
