What happens in Vegas can be deadly…
After my parents passed away, I put my culinary dreams aside to be the lawyer they wanted. However, with my 30th birthday rapidly approaching, my bestie urges me to enter a cooking competition in Las Vegas. When a contestant is murdered, my time watching from the sidelines is over. I’m suddenly thrown into the event as a finalist.
I knew the kitchen would heat up, but so did my love life when I unexpectedly met the handsome billionaire Evan Catalinus. Evan checks off all my dream guy boxes: a British accent that makes me hang on his every word, a love of food that rivals mine, and let’s not forget those body-melting kisses.
Evan declares he’s falling for me, but I sense there’s a truth he’s not sharing, and my past makes me hesitate to take this budding relationship further. Will searching for a killer bring Evan and me closer to each other, or will the secrets kept in Vegas end my life before I can discover Evan’s truth?
Rival Secrets is the first book in the Love Over Murders series. Rival Secrets is a significantly updated and rewritten version of Cassie and Evan’s story that originally appeared in Thrill Ride. Each book is a standalone story featuring one couple’s journey to their guaranteed H.E.A. and no cliffhanger. The series is especially for lovers of swoony moments intertwined with a murder mystery.
Narrated by Shane East and Samantha Brentmoor

🎧🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧🎧
🎤Samantha Brentmoor & Shane East🎤 rocked the heck out of this performance and ✨J.D. Carothers✨ wrote one heck of an edge of your seat suspense storyline intertwined with a romance journey perfectly and I have now found my new author obsession! I am already on the hunt for the best possible way to get ahold of the audios for the next two books in this series without my debit card putting me on notice! Son of a biscuit eater this was excellent on all fronts!
Rival Secrets has a all kinds of circumstances milling about the storyline which one would think would make a reader’s brain hurt but it does not! #magic There’s the romance, the competition, the mystery, the hidden truths, and Vegas Baby! Lol Seriously, I didn’t even feel the almost 9 hours of listening time. I had an honest to goodness ”good time” listening to the story and all its parts unfold. There is excellent character growth with not a whole lot of predictability. The plot is spicy and edgy and again, not very predictable.
The absolute best part of this story is that when you think you know, you absolutely kinda do not! It will captivate you and keep you on your toes and of course you will swoon because Shane & Samantha! They absolutely cannot do wrong! Well, at least they never have for me!
Thank you so much Candi Kane PR for providing this ALC in exchange for an honest review!
When not immersed in her law career, J.D. Carothers loves to cook for her family and friends, read or listen to romantic suspense novels, eat chocolate, and sip wine while watching the sunset in Southern California.
Late at night or early on weekend mornings, she finds a quiet place to write her next novel and trade the stress of real life for a fantasy world where food is the language of love and clues lead you to the killer.
