The Grant family’s exclusive Sonoma spa is a place for rest and relaxation—not murder! When Naomi Grant finds her client Jessica Ortiz bleeding to death in her massage room, everything falls apart. The salon’s reputation is at stake…and so is Naomi’s freedom when she discovers that she is one of the main suspects! Her only solace is found with the other suspect—Dr. Devon Knightley, the victim’s ex-husband. But Devon is hiding secrets of his own. When they come to light, where can Naomi turn…and whom can she trust?
My take:~
Deadly Intent is Camy Tang’s first foray into romantic suspense and she has made a solid start. I always enjoy Camy’s characters ~ no shy wallflowers for her ~ and Naomi Grant is no exception. Murders abound and Naomi does not hesitate to search out the offender herself. Attraction and suspicion wage war within her regarding Devon Knightley and their dialogue is suitably feisty. While the story didn’t flow as smoothly as I hoped, Deadly Intent has all the ingredients you look for in this genre.

I have really enjoyed Camy's books so far. I am hoping that her books for Steeple Hill will be just as good. I say that because there is another author who has Steeple Hill and non-Steeple Hill books. That author's Steeple Hill books are not nearly as good.

I have also enjoyed Tammy's other books and it will be rather interesting to read a slightly different genre from her!
