Buried Secrets

Buried SecretsHe turned her quiet life upside down....

Zack Lorenzo was a big-city P.I. specializing in the paranormal and hell-bent on unearthing secrets Josephine James had tried too hard to forget. As they focused intently on fighting an evil he couldn't identify, his chivalry was overbearing, his kisses maddening and his questions too dangerous....

Zack had promised to protect her, but Jo was no damsel in distress--she was the town sheriff! However, she was also a woman who'd been too afraid to face the past until this stranger walked into her life, took her into his arms and made her want to start living again....

Reviews

"Fans of paranormal private investigative romances will take immense delight with Evelyn Vaughn's BURIED SECRETS. The story line will remind readers of the X Files as Zack and Jo make the rounds of many of the West Texas practitioners of the "arts". Though the villain fails to live up to the reputation garnered by the inquiries, the lead characters and a couple of their helpers are fun to watch, the Paranormal 101 trip a delight, and the investigation enjoyable as the audience receives an engaging weird tale."
--Harriet Klausner, ParaNormal Romance Reviews

"I hadn't planned on reading this book. I really wasn't interested in paranormal romances and had never read one before. While I'm a big fan of TV shows like the X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I figured a paranormal romance could never be that scary or creepy or even the littlest bit chilling, so I had planned to stop by the bookstore and return this one on my way to work one day. But, as I took the subway there, my curiosity got the better of me and I started reading the book. And reading. And reading. Before I knew it, I had missed two subway stops and was late for work that day. The upshot? I read more of this incredibly fascinating book and rid myself of all the ill-conceived notions I had about paranormal romance novels. They can be spooky and creepy and chilling. And provide a wonderfully romantic, passionate and great love story to boot.

All this was topped off by a show-stopping ending right out of any top notch horror or SF film. The final showdown between Zack, Jo and the horror that they face (which was not what I was expecting - and a nice surprise) was exciting and action packed. It was riveting, breathtaking reading and had me eagerly flipping through the pages as fast as I could turn them. In the end, I was sorry it was over and wondered what happened to those characters beyond the HEA since the author made it clear they'd move on to new adventures. For me, when the characters continue to linger in my mind long after the book is over is the true mark of a keeper. It's also got me on the hunt for the author's previous books, so luckily for me, I've got a lot of wonderful reading ahead."
--Anthony Langford on All About Romance

"The final confrontation is still the best part of the book, one of those juicy supernatural showdowns literally between good and evil where love conquers all."
--- Leigh Thomas, All About Romance

"In BURIED SECRETS (4), a supernatural tale that should only be read in full light Evelyn Vaughn delivers thrills and chills in a true battle of good versus evil."  Four Stars!
----Romantic Times

"Star of the now defunct Silhouette Shadows line, EVELYN VAUGHN, joins the Intimate Moments family, and stays true to form with a paranormal tale that explores the forces of evil that too often threaten the natural order of life.  Fans of Ms. Vaughn's work will be delighted with this long overdue offering, especially those who embrace the dark macabre mood of the X-Files. The strength of BURIED SECRETS lies in Ms. Vaughn's ability to keep the reader literally on the edge of their seats.  ...there is much here to please readers. However, I must give a word of caution to the faint of heart. Be sure to read this story during the daylight hours. You'll be amazed at how ordinary sounds can become extraordinary in the silence of the night."

-Wayne Jordan, The Word On Romance

"BURIED SECRETS is an excellent investigative romance that delves into the Paranormal. This story also has a touch of humor that takes the edge off the unknown evil they are fighting. The connection that Jo and Zack have is intense and magical. Though I had expected a much more dramatic ending to this story, I really enjoyed it. While Zach and Jo each face their own fears, they develop a bond that will bring all forces of evil to its knees. Evelyn Vaughn takes us on
an exciting journey of bone-chilling suspense and enjoyable romance."

Tracey West, The Road to Romance

"If you are a fan of paranormal investigative romances you will love Buried Secrets by Evelyn Vaughn. The characters are witty, funny and each always has to have the last word but Vaughn delivers a delightful banter that brings the couple closer instead of arguments. Her research shows in this book and the investigation that leads to the closure of this paranormal case is wonderful and well thought out with great twists and turns. I highly recommend Buried Secrets but if you have a fear of snakes be forewarned."
