Desperate Girls is a tightly wound, fast-paced romantic thriller that follows a desperate woman on the run as she hides from a killer’s symbolic revenge spree.
Defense attorney Brynn Holloran is right at home among cops, criminals, and tough-as-nails prosecutors. With her sharp wit and pointed words, she has a tendency to intimidate, and she likes it that way. She’s a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom, but in her personal life, she’s a mess.
When a vicious murderer she once helped prosecute resurfaces and starts a killing spree to wipeout those who put him behind bars, one thing becomes clear: Brynn needs to run for her life.
When the police come up empty-handed, Brynn turns to a private security firm for protection. But when she defies advice and gets involved in the investigation, even the former Secret Service agent assigned to protect her may not be able to keep her safe. With every new clue she discovers, Brynn is pulled back into the vortex of a disturbing case from her past.
As the clock ticks down on a manhunt, Brynn’s desperate search for the truth unearths long-buried secrets and reignites a killer’s fury.
My Thoughts:
Brynn Holloran is a force to be reckoned with in the
courtroom, but her life is turned upside down when she finds out a defendant she
helped put away has escaped and is wanted for the brutal killing of her
co-counselor. This guy tortured, raped and
strangled women, and chilled her with his cold, deadly staring during the
trial. Brynn’s current boss is taking no
chances with this dangerous threat and hires the Wolfe Security to protect Brynn. She balks at this level of action at first, but it soon becomes
apparent the threat is very real!
Erik Morgan is serious when it comes to protecting his asset;
lust and attraction have no place in his job, but Brynn ticks all his boxes. She’s gorgeous, feisty and confident, and
Erik can’t help but admire her conviction and determination, even if she is a
pain in the ass to guard.
Laura Griffin kicks off her new series with a bang! I didn’t
want to put the story down when the danger kept coming! Brynn and Erik’s chemistry popped, the tension
building between them as they got to know each other in close quarters. All the while trying to figure out the killer’s
next move.
Desperate Girls was an exciting blend of danger, action, and
romance! A definite recommend!

Ooh this sounds good and tense! Sounds like it would make a good movie or Netflix series too. :)
Oh man, this sounds truly intense! But in a totally good way! I should check this book out. Let me see if it's available on Overdrive. I'm glad you enjoyed it, Rachel.
I've seen such good things for this book. Glad you enjoyed it. Sounds like a series worth starting.
Okay this is completely new to me somehow but it looks like I need to grab a copy! Wonderful review!
I had already added this to my buy list after I saw another review for it. I used to read this author ALL the time but haven't in years. A new series is a good way to jump in.
