Crimson Falls
by DJ Davis and TR Kerby
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Romantic Suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Troyan
Pryce had it all—a forensic pathology career, loving family, baby on the
way—until a Mob kingpin bought her. Forced to use her special training and
exceptional looks to rob men of their millions, she’s given up hope of ever
having a life again, let alone finding romance. Until she meets her next mark,
Assistant District Attorney Zachariah Taylor.
Detective
Grace Griffin dedicated years to breaking a human trafficking ring. When her
best friend, Zachariah, falls for a victim and is taken by the Mob, she must
risk her life, badge, and heart to rescue him and the woman he loves. Can she
save them, or will they all end up dead?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
The
girl huddled on the concrete bench in the corner of the cell, her knees tucked
to her chin. She appraised Griff with green eyes, then looked away. Her stretch
leggings were a size too small and her top plunged to dangerous levels. Bright
red nails and false lashes added finishing touches. The spike heels that
completed the ensemble sat outside the cell door.
Griff
sat next to her. “I’m Detective Griffin ”She turned her face away and remained
silent.
“I
want to help you. I know you’re a slave, not a hooker.. This isn’t your life.
They took your life from you.”
The
girl scooted closer to the wall. “You’re going to get me killed.”
“Give
me a name and I can end this.”
“I
talk to you, I’m dead.”
“Is
it Rosetti? Just blink. Twice for yes, once for no.”
She
swallowed and blinked twice.
Griff
opened the girl’s file and read the name. “Carrie. I’m going to help you. Hang
in there, okay?”
Keys
rattled in the lock and the door opened. An expensive suit filled the doorway
in front of the duty officer. Carrie got to her feet and squeezed out of the
cell.
“I
hope you weren’t interviewing my client without her attorney present,” the suit
said.
Griff
stood eye to eye with the lawyer. “Of course not. I check on all the girls to
make sure they don’t need medical assistance. She fully exercised her right to
remain silent, and seems perfectly healthy.” She snapped the file closed and
shouldered past him.
“Well?”
Stacey asked when Griff returned to her desk.
“Definitely
Rosetti’s. One of his hounds showed up before I got very far.”
“Now
what?”
“Get
inside Rosetti’s estate.”
“Good
lord. If you disappear, where should I look?”
“The
river or the morgue.”
“That’s
not funny.”
“It
wasn’t a joke,” she said on her way out the door. The bruises on Carrie’s neck
and arms weren’t from an affectionate boyfriend. She needed help and,
apparently, Griff was the only one willing to try.
The
traffic blurred as the sun sank into a lava flow of cloud. Streetlights blinked
on as she took the long route up the hill. She parked in the shadow of a hedged
yard and killed the engine. Through the binoculars, Rosetti’s gate resembled a
castle entrance. Fine brickwork and scrolled iron. A guard station squatted on
the left side of the cobbled drive. Strategically placed floodlights revealed
security pacing the fence. Handguns and batons hung from their belts.
Cracks
of golden light seeped through drawn drapes on the massive house. And behind
those drapes, a varied collection of human product. Whatever their clients
could afford, they could have. Rosetti made sure of it.
Straight
up prostitution. Easy peasy. Kids? No problem. If the product gave him trouble,
snuff. Have fun with it. Knock yourself out. Pay before play. That money
trickled through the filter of a hundred businesses, dripping out squeaky clean
at the bottom. His web of connections kept him untouchable.
Griff
planned to touch him.

MY BOOK REVIEW:
This book was such an interesting, suspenseful, and intriguing
read!
I
really liked the storyline and that it shed light on the modern-day slavery and
trafficking world. As it is an important
topic and issue that is very active today, and ever more so here in Portland, Oregon,
one of the highest cited cities of sex-trafficking in our country!!!
I liked the main
characters, Troyan, ADA Zach, and Detective Grace, “Griff.” They were realistic, likable, and genuine.
I
felt awful for the difficult condition Troyan was put into and couldn’t imagine
being sold to an evil mob boss and being ripped away from everything I knew and
loved. Regardless of being in such a
dire position Troyan still held out hope for her future, especially after meeting
her next required assignment and mark, ADA Zach. I liked how much Zach wanted to help Troyan
and what lengths he went to protecting her.
I like how tough and badass Griff is.
It’s clear she cares and values Zach.
This
book is fast-paced and full of action that keeps you completely captivated in
the story! Between the blazing gun
fights that had me squinting my eyes worried for my main characters and the
holding my breath moments during the characters hiding – hoping they wouldn’t
get found – it was at times an emotional rollercoaster ride!
There are some exciting twists and turns and unexpected moments
that will keep you guessing!
This
book has a great storyline that flows, terrific writing style with detailed
scenes, well-developed characters, is fast paced, and keeps you completely
entertained through the last page.
All in all, I really
enjoyed reading this book and would absolutely recommend this book to all
romantic suspense readers!

DJ & TR ~ Hi! It is so great to have you both here! Congrats on your new book and good luck on the book tour! I really enjoyed reading and reviewing your book, thanks for providing the copy! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ally, for hosting us. We're glad you enjoyed the book. We had a great time writing it. We especially want to thank you for providing the links to the trafficking prevention sites. There are more people in slavery today than at any other time in history. Less than 1% of trafficking victims are ever recovered. We can all do our part to call attention to this horrific issue and to help those who are victims by donating to organizations who provide aid. A21 is my pet organization. They provide safe houses, career instruction, and counseling for recovered victims. Their website is here: https://www.a21.org/index.php?site=true
DeleteHi TR ~ That's incredible! I have added your organization to the Get Involved List above! Hopefully that will help bring some traffic and awareness to your cause... I am very passionate about this topic as well, living in Portland, Oregon, it's a HUGE deal here... I have a Bachelor's in Community Health/Urban Planning and many of my classes focused on this theme... It is so scary what happens to these victims!!! Even more so when police don't always recognize them as victims and arrest them as prostitutes treating them like criminals, even though they really are victims... It's just a vicious cycle!! Hopefully in our lifetime we will have see an end to trafficking and slavery!! But in the meantime - I think what you're doing is truly great and inspiring!! :)
DeleteThanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, my pleasure :)
DeleteI think this book sounds good.
ReplyDeleteHi lildevilgirl22 ~ It truly is! Be sure to add it to your TBR List and check it out! Thanks for stopping by and good luck in the giveaway :)
DeleteThank you for hosting us and, more importantly, for listing the human trafficking hotline and information sites. If we can help just one person, it's all worth it.
ReplyDeleteHi DJ ~ Absolutely! Yes, I am passionate about this topic as well and wanted to do my part to also help spread the word... Exactly, if we can help even one person - that's everything!!
DeleteSounds like a great read.
ReplyDeleteHi Rita ~ It really is! It kept me fully entertained! So, be sure to check it out! Thanks for stopping by and good luck in the giveaway :)
