GRR Reviews Mine To Take (Mine- Romantic Suspense by Cynthia Eden

Mine to Take is a contemporary romantic suspense that delivered competent storyline, but the sketchy background and some mysterious qualifications for the nemesis made the story not quite ideal.

To recap, Skye Sullivan was a prominent dancer until a car accident ended her career in New York. She was sure there was a stalker there, but no one would believe her. She moved back to Chicago, trying to start over, but when she found that the stalker had followed her to Chicago, she went to the one person left she can trust... Trace Weston. Trace broke her heart years ago when he did not want to hold her back from her dance career. He went to the military, breaking her heart. Now he's back with some powerful connections and richer than sin, and he'd like nothing better than keeping Skye for himself. But Just who was her stalker? Was it the almost cruel choreographer who need her back dancing? The sickly sweet doctor who healed her? The doggedly determined police detective who's always late? Could it be Weston with a false flag operation? Or could it be someone else?

The red herrings were all over the place, and each of them seems somewhat plausible within the context of the story. However, I found the perp's skillset to be questionable, as this perp was able to not only take down a trained protective agent with one strike, shoot a gun from a distance that almost killed the MMC, but also knived a cop to death with a single stab, not to mention being able to get away from his "day job" way more than what should be possible, and left NO usable evidence behind in each and every case. Not to mention defeat alarms and sabotage electrical systems. WHERE does a guy get a skillset like that and STILL get an education for his day-job? It's just not plausible.
