Synopsis
If he could really see the future . . .
Logan Sinclair is nothing but a fraud. Or at least that's what Inspector Andie Darling, undercover on the streets of San Francisco, is determined to prove. Sure, the sexy Scotsman may say he's a clairvoyant, but Andie's never believed in second sight—or love at first sight. So why does his sweet talk turn her into a lovestruck fool?
He'd know that Andie Darling always gets her man . . .
Getting the goods on the elusive con man would get Andie out of boring Vice and into Homicide, yet all she can think about is getting into Logan's arms. But juggling her job and her heart leaves her with little time to protect herself from a crazed killer hot on her heels. Logan would love to help Andie—and get closer to her—but charm might not be enough to save them now . . .

December 05, 2008:
If I could, I'd give the book 3.5 stars...
Marianne Stillings writes contemporary romances with a sassy, feel-good kick. Her latest, "Killer Charms" is about a female cop assigned to go undercover and con a conman. But it only takes a few days before the cop realizes there's something 'special' about this conman and something wrong with her boss instead. Then, there's the dreams she's been having lately about a woman who lived 100 years ago...
I enjoyed most of the book, but it just felt 'pat' after the halfway point. I already knew what would happen (which did happen) and who ALL the bad guys were. Now I don't think I'm a genius, so that means other readers will probably be able to do the same thing. That decreases my enjoyment in the read. Might just be me, but that's my opinion.
For a light romance that doesn't require a lot of thought, this one might just fit the bill.
I Also Recommend: Damsel in This Dress, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evie.

August 04, 2008: SFPD vice inspector Andie Darling is very ambitious and her goal is to leave Vice for Homicide as soon as possible. She sees a great opportunity to prove her worthiness to brass when she is assigned to go undercover to catch psychic con artist Logan Sinclair cheat someone. ------------- Logan finds Andie unique as she acts immune to his magnetism. However his failure does not alarm Logan who has not lost sight of his goal starting with obtaining the Star of Avril necklace. Andie suffers from vivid nightmares starring a woman she has never met. Logan informs his skeptical client that the woman Emma Harte exists. However, a killer has plans that could include murdering Andie Logan will risk his life to keep her safe.------------------ The third delightful Darling thriller will give readers plenty of SATISFACTION starting with Logan AROUSING SUSPICIONS in the mind and heart of the only female Darling sibling. The fast-paced romantic suspense uses humor especially between the lead couple to somewhat lighten the growing tension. Filled with twists, some involving a bit of the paranormal, fans will relish this ?Darling? drama as the heroine wonders if her self- proclaimed protector is her beloved enemy.------------ Harriet Klausner
