"The sex is great and the men seem good enough to eat!"
The small town of Cherokee Pointe, Tennessee is about to encounter another murderer. While everyone is planning the spring wedding of Genny Madoc and Dallas Sloan, a deranged lunatic is lurking behind a polite smile.
Jasmine (Jazzy) Talbot owns and runs Jasmines and Jazzy Place, a local resteruant and bar. Jazzy has encountered many promblems in her life--especially the love and loss of Jamie Upton who has now returned with yet another fiancee. She has no intentions of becoming a rich mans mistress, although according to the townspeople she's a very loose woman, but as you read you learn her reputation is all talk. When a murder is commited Jazzy finds herself the main suspect. Enter a handsome stranger who's going to change her life, and things get really sticky for Jazzy.
Caleb McCord, a sinfully sexy smooth talking southerner, is more than he appears and only Genny knows he's there to change Jazzy's life for the better. When a strange woman appears and looks enough like Jazzy to be her twin more suspicion is thrown at Jazzy. It's up to Genny, Dallas, Jacob and Caleb to clear Jazzy's name.
Caleb and Jazzy hook up and fight throughout the ordeal that Jazzy is going through. Caleb shows her excatly how good lovin' could be if she'd only let herself go. And when she does, the sex is very intense and seems to go on and on--which is awesome in contrast to real life.
When all is said and done, you wonder if they'll be able to hold on to each other as Caleb's true identity is revealed. And, will all the murders come to rest at her feet or will she truly be the last to die at a luntics' hands?
This is the second in the Cherokee Pointe trilogy by Beverly Barton, and I cant wait to see if the sheriff Jacob Butler (who is described as being big as a bear and as snuggly) is able to find himself in love with the mystery woman from this book. I just cant hardly wait. I have really enjoyed these two books. The sex is great and the men seem good enough to eat!

Book Description for The Last To Die
Be Careful Who You Love...
Cherokee Pointe, Tennessee, has seen murder before, but nothing like what has claimed the life of Jamie Upton, heir to the Upton fortune. The crime is so vicious, so personal and filled with hatred, the authorities are certain it had to be someone he knew...someone hiding an unimaginable sadistic streak behind a friendly façade.
Be Careful Who You Trust...
The number one suspect is Jamie’s former lover Jazzy Talbot. The girl from the wrong side of the tracks has always been Cherokee Point’s favorite target for gossip and worse. Jazzy knows she didn’t kill Jamie...just as she knows she’s being watched, stalked like prey...
Be Careful What You Know...
And then the killer strikes again...and again...with the same chilling signature. With no one to believe her innocence except enigmatic drifter Caleb McCord, Jazzy plunges into a small town’s long-buried secrets and shocking family sins…each startling truth bringing her dangerously close to a killer determined to make Jazzy the last to die...
