Librarian Marissa Reynolds has spent years distancing herself from her crime kingpin uncle. When she awakens in an unfamiliar hotel room with blood on her hands and no memory of how she got there, the past returns with a vengeance, and her life spirals into a nightmare.

Straight-laced assistant district attorney Scott Bannister has spent his life seeking justice for the senseless shooting deaths of his parents. When he realizes Marissa is the niece of his prime suspect, he crosses a line, guaranteed to jeopardize both his life and his beloved career.

He'll do anything to destroy her uncle. She fears he's using her to achieve his goal. As the body count mounts, and their lives are threatened, they must put aside their distrust and work together to find the devious killer.

Will they be able to forgive and find true love?

I love it!

Secret Betrayal, my first read/listen from author C.B. Clark. Well-written & enjoyable, I found it very enjoyable. Bill Nevitt’s excellent narration made the 11-hour 20-minute mystery/suspense pass quickly. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it.

Good romantic suspense

What would you do if you woke up in a strange place with a stranger, who just happened to think that you were a hooker? This is the reality of Marissa Reynolds, college librarian. The stranger who is accusing her of being a hooker and trying to ruin his career, none other than ADA, Scott Bannister. Scott believes that Marissa has set him up when reporters show at the hotel and it turns out that she is the niece of a notorious mob boss. The same mob boss whom Scott has been after for years...also the same mob boss responsible for the death of his parents. When attempts are made on Marissa’s life, Scott begins to believe that she just may be telling the truth! Lots of action...mob bosses, corrupt cops and politicians! Will the good guy & girl survive?
I accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Suspenseful romance

Secret Betrayal is a romantic suspense story by C.B. Clark. Having read a couple of books by this author, I expected an edge-of-the-seat story and was not disappointed. Fast-paced action, several wow I didn't see that coming twists to the plot and of course, a romance kept the interest high. Some things were a bit unrealistic but then that is what fiction is all about, right? I like police drama stories and this one was worth the read. Who could Marissa trust...her crimelord Uncle, Scott, the ADA? I liked how the author revealed Marissa's and Scott's pasts layer by layer, keeping interest high wondering how the situations came about and what would happen next. I listened to a complimentary copy of the audiobook and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own. Bill Nevitt did a great job narrating the story which made for an entertaining listening experience. There are adult language and situations in this book.

Not the best

I usually like this type of book but this one didn't quite do it for me. It wasn't terribly believable and I didn't feel any type of connection to the characters. Also, I usually like Bill Nevitt as a narrator and although his accents were good, his female voice was so whiny throughout the entire book I almost wanted her to be killed off. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.

enthralling

from the start this story keeps you wanting more. I suck at reviews, but darn this was a great story.Kept me up most of the night. The narrator was perfect keeping you on the edge of your seat.
