Description:

Katherine Bonner with the golden eyes and a golden, enchanted life is well on her way to becoming a horse whisperer. Tall, athletic, she loves to ride, and she can usually exact good behavior from most wild steed, except from Pierce who bucks her at every crack of the whip.

Pierce is top honcho in charge of the fifteen hundred acre ranch, Bonner-Willow. Although he owns a Master’s in business administration, he loves to be around horses. He considers himself more of a cowboy than a CEO.

When Kat becomes the bearer of unexpected news about her past from ex-convict, ex-lawyer Victor Horn, she wonders how she will ever find her roots and manage to put the pieces of her life back together again. She turns to Pierce, the dark hair and blue eyed hunk whom Kat believes, thinks he is God's gift to women.

Pierce reluctantly agrees to help, partly for reasons of his own. He worries about his lawyerly father being involved with Victor's murder. As Pierce and Kat travel to Chicago together, they walk right into a criminal investigation headed by two bumbling detectives. Kat makes a date with a potential serial killer, and Pierce, whose affection for Kat is slowly changing to one of deeper commitment, worries about her safety. Meanwhile, Kat bumps into a doppelganger she believes is stalking her, only to discover that no one else ever sees her.

Mirror Deep uncovers many twists and turns designed to keep the reader guessing until the end. Through all the action, Pierce remains by Kat's side. Will he be able to hide from Kat his mounting desire? Will Kat find who this look alike is and why she is trying to warn her? Does Kat follow a stranger to Paris, France simply to put miles between her and Pierce or to avoid the threat of a potential killer?

My Review:
I really liked this book. It was a 5/5 mystery, a 5/5 romance and a 5/5 paranormal story. The only thing that I can think of as a negative was the length. At 450 pages it is a hefty read. However the author has a reason for making it that long. It is the background to the mystery and the building romance. I loved Caitlyn. She was such a great addition to the story. I do not want to give it away, but when you read this book. which I recommend you do, keep an eye out for her. I really enjoyed the romance between Kat and Pierce. Pierce had a tough time hiding his feelings for her, and it was funny to see how they interacted. The killer was someone I did not expect at all. I want to reread the book and see if there are any clues that I missed. This is definitely going on my keeper bookcase. This was also a clean romance book, and I recommend it for teenagers as well as any horse fan. I also want to mention the secret Kat is told that turns her world upside down and her uncanny way with horses. The secret is a juicy one that leads to murder. If I was Kat then I would need to search for answers as well. I liked the horse element to the story and it added a certain bond between Kat and her pre-secret life, especially Pierce. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own. I would gladly pay for any books from this author.
