"4 1/2 Stars!...Secrets, lies, obsessions, murder...and revenge. What could possibly trigger such horrendous violence, especially in sleepy, rural McCreary County in Kentucky? In this compelling, quick read, K.C. and Shar search the past for clues to current murders as they find a way to move beyond their individual pain to build an enduring future together."—Deborah Brent, Romantic Times

"5 Stars!...Pat Rasey grows more and more adept in intricately weaving a complex, layered plot with flawed, yet lovable characters and a love story that will melt your heart...By far the best work Rasey has written to date. Not only is this book overflowing with heart-pounding suspense and fascinating details of police forensics, but also gruesome minutiae of sadistic murder. And the love scenes are so scorchingly hot that they'll melt the paint off the walls. The intensity of her approach to her latest prose matches that of Diehl and Harris, so the squemish beware. The pacing is fast and the writing is perfect. Not one word is wasted nor a moment dull. Thriller devotees will be up all night, as I was, riveted to this page-turner. Pat Rasey demonstrates yet again, why she's become an author to reckon with."—Janice K. Wagner, Royal Scribe Reviews

"Very Highly recommended...A heart-stopping, adrenaline-pumping novel that you dare not start at bedtime if you intend to be up in the morning. Addictive from the first shocking page, Facade will reveal the dangers that lurk beneath the most innocent appearances. Rasey has an extraordinary talent for creating characters with depth and complexity, while weaving a quick-moving plot that lures the reader into a world of murder and intrigue. Extraordinarily, Rasey can capture the essence of a brutal murder all the while maintaining a sexy, lusty subplot with sharp quips counterbalanced by grace. While all of Rasey's novels are hits, this is the best one yet, earning a very highly recommended rating and an Award of Excellence from WordWeaving."—Cindy Penn, Word Weaving

"5 Stars!...Patricia Rasey has penned an outstanding book! Facade is a spine-tingling read from start to finish with equal parts murder and romance. Ms. Rasey leads you to believe you know who the killer is, and then yanks your chain, and swings you in a whole other direction! You'll find yourself wondering who will be the next victim and in what atrocious way are they going to be murdered. The biggest mystery will be why?! You not only get a murder mystery in Facade, but you also get a lot of great sexual tension between KC and Sharalee, that builds to its climactic explosion right along with the murder and mayhem. I highly recommend Facade to anyone who loves a good murder mystery. This is one book that will keep you guessing. If you are clever enough to figure out who did it, you still won't believe what you get hit in the face with at the end!"—Stacey Bucholz, All About Murder Reviews

"Author Patricia Rasey has done it again!!! A spine tingling, heart-stopping novel of suspense and romance guaranteed to keep the reader up long after bedtime. An engrossing plot of revenge and murder with a multitude of victims, and one very unlikely suspect. Ms. Rasey has a unique way of drawing readers in with the sensational, lulling them into a sense of normalcy before ripping the veil off, and then startling her readers with yet another chilling clue. The characters are extremely well defined, so much so that at times I wanted to reach out and shake them, especially K.C., who is so obviously a good person, and yet has such a difficult time believing he's deserving of love. The relationship between K.C. and Shar is not always comfortable, but Ms. Rasey makes it believable. Even when I wanted to cringe, the flaws inherent in these characters make them all the more real. The descriptive narrative is so well done, I had to fight not to close my eyes during the gory scenes. Dialogue and character interaction place the reader on the scene, providing some exciting, as well as frightening, moments. Secondary characters are well drawn and add dimension to this well-told story. Facadeis not a novel for the faint at heart, but for fans of suspense and edgy romance it's guaranteed to please. If you enjoyed Ms. Rasey's previous work, Deadly Obsession, which is one of my favorites, you will love Facade. I highly recommend Facade for an utterly satisfying read."—Terrie Figueroa, Romance Reviews Today

"...Rasey grips the reader with the first page...[Her] brilliantly written suspense is laced with sexual tension...Facade expertly weaves the reader through the lives of small town Pine Knot where all is not as it seems. The reader is fed tantalizing tidbits as slowly the secret is revealed...Rasey's Facade proves that what is seen is not always true...Rasey has written a faced-paced romantic thriller that will keep you guessing. In Facade, the reader experiences the pain of unforgiveness and the destruction of past mistakes covered up. The challenge for KC and Sharalee will be less the truth and more their ability to move forward and forgive."—Dena Kosche, Women on Writing

...A twig snapped.

His head turned toward the sound. He caught sight of Shar's black trench coat as she ducked behind a thick pine. KC ran through the woods, jumping over downed limbs and dense weeds. Just as he nearly grasped a handful of material, she ran in another direction.

KC sped after her, finally fisting her coat and halting her progress, pulling her flush against his chest. He could feel her body tremble with each large gulp of air.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, his cheek nestling against her riot of curls. Breathing deeply, her sweet musk scent encompassed him and took hold of his gut. He hadn't even realized how much this woman had become a part of him.
