About the book:
In the shadows of Charleston, someone is watching her...
Rylee Monroe, a dogwalker in Charleston's wealthiest neighborhood, never feared the streets at night. But now a thief is terrorizing the area and worse, someone seems to be targeting her.
Reporter Logan Woods is covering the break-ins with the hope of publishing them as a true-crime book. The more he digs, the more he realizes this beguiling dogwalker seems to be at the center of everything.
As danger draws ever closer, Logan must choose: Chase the girl, the story, or plunge into the shadows after the villain who threatens everything?

My Review:
“Beguiled’ by Deeanne Gist and J. Mark Bertrand was a book full of thrilling romantic suspense. Gist and Bertrand make a wonderful team. They both added so much to a book that one of them couldn’t have done alone. It has something for everyone. It’s an excellent book to read and you won’t want to put it down. I always try to guess who is the main bad guy, but with Beguiled I couldn’t. The story is about a woman who lost her parents when she was 5. She felt unlovable all of her life because of losing her parents. Rylee was a rich girl who lost everything, but after losing it all she didn’t become bitter. She lived with her grandmother and did anything to take care of her. Rylee walked dogs, took care of other people’s pets and met Logan on one of her dog walks. Logan is a newspaper reporter who is writing about the Robin Hood burglaries. The Robin Hood burglar brings all of them together and it tells the story of why things happened in the past. One of the many things I really liked in this book was Rylee really loved the dogs she walked. In her phone list instead of the owners name for their number Rylee put in the dogs names. I would highly recommend this book. It’s a great book to show us things aren’t always as they seem.
