Kylie Brant spins a wonderful story. I read until I found the answers to these questions, captivated by a clever story told with skill and charm. A mystery, thriller, and romance story all rolled into one. Terms of Attraction is well conceived, effectively presented, and compellingly completed. It is a truly excellent book. Its pace flows like the waters that consume the protagonists. A great read, for sure! ( )
