Written by Melinda Leigh

Narrated by Amy Rubinate

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh, the RITA Award finalist that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

You can’t run forever…

Twelve years ago, Cristan’s wife was murdered. He was forced on the run to keep his infant daughter safe. They’ve finally settled in a small Pennsylvania town, but he can’t shake the feeling that they are being watched.

Newly divorced, Sarah is ready to start over. As her ex becomes increasingly hostile, she appreciates help from a neighbor. But the violence she senses beneath Cristan’s polished manners makes her wary. Then she discovers someone else is stalking her—someone much more dangerous than a jealous ex.

Cristan fears his wife’s killers have caught up with them. Now he must face his nightmarish past and hope his decision to stand his ground doesn’t get them all killed.

Reviews for She Can Kill

[grumpydan · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Cristan Rojas has been hiding out in the small town of Westbury, PA with his young daughter. They have been on the run for 12 years after his wife and family (arms dealers in Argentina) were slaughter and he narrowly escaped. Once an assassin, but now a doting father, he is always on the lookout for possible threats. This story starts fast and never lets up. The author has developed not only interested characters but complex characters. Subplots add to the dimension of this superb suspense. Developing romance and family dynamics add to the drama. There are twists and turns that I didn't see coming and the conclusion was certainly a surprise.

Melinda Leigh has written another engaging romantic suspense novel. Cristan and his daughter Lucia have been on the run for twelve years. Every since they survived the massacre of all of his wife's family, they have been hiding and trying to stay away from the leader of the rival criminal family who has vowed to wipe out Cristan's entire family. Now that Lucia is thirteen, she is not as easily uprooted and Cristan hopes to be able to stay in quiet, little Westbury, Pennsylvania. But settling down leaves them open to being found. Cristan has rebuilt his life; he is no longer the orphan from Buenos Aires who was taken in by a gun runner and raised to be his loyal soldier. He would very much like to live in peace.Sarah is also trying to rebuild her life. She has finally divorced the man whose last tantrum broke her arm and gave her a concussion. She wants to make a good life for herself and her daughters but her ex-husband is threatening her and harassing her. Since he is able to put on the charm when he needs to, he has convinced a judge to allow unsupervised visitation with their two young daughters.Cristan and Sarah have gotten to know each other because Lucia babysits for the girls.Soon both are being threatened. We know that Sarah's main threats come from her ex-husband Troy. Cristan's threats are coming from an unnamed viewpoint character that could be the woman who has sworn revenge or someone else from his past.I enjoyed this thriller and had to keep reading to find out where the threats were coming from. I also enjoyed watching both Cristan and Sarah open up to a new relationship despite the bad relationships each had had in the past. Fans of romantic suspense won't want to miss this latest book in the SHE CAN series.

I listen to tons of books and although I'm sometimes surpised at an ending I don't think I've ever actually gasped out loud like this one made me. Read it, it's great.

She Can Kill is the sixth and latest release in Melinda Leigh's fantastic She Can series. I loved all the previous books and couldn't put this one down either. I actually had to add the audio book version so I could continue with the story when I didn't have time to sit down to read. She Can Kill is Cristan's and Sarah's story, who first appeared in book 2 She Can Tell, but each book works fine as a stand alone, as the plot focuses on one particular couple. Cristan has been trying to escape his violent past ever since his wife and her arms dealing family were killed twelve years ago and he escaped with their young daughter. His daughter is babysitting for Sarah who has also fled from violence in the form of her abusive ex-husband Troy who is still creating all sorts of problems for her. The suspense really builds up when Cristan's past catches up with him and Sarah's ex-husband turns more than a little unstable. I love how the characters from the previous books, especially Mike and Sean, are included in the plot and this great family-and-friends-in-a-small-town atmosphere is created. As the tension was building up towards the final confrontation, I never would have predicted the twists Melinda Leigh threw in. Very well written and highly recommended for any romantic suspense readers. I sincerely hope there will be more of this series in the future. I received an ARC via Netgalley in exchanged for an honest review.
