About Kiss Me Goodnight:
Detective Claire Goodnite is finally marrying her sexy SAIC, Wesley O’Connell in this suspenseful conclusion to the series.
The hall has been booked, the flowers have been ordered, and the invitations have been sent. Everything is finally falling into place for the happy couple, or so it seems.
That is until a hunter the likes of the old DC Sniper has his sights set on New Jersey Law Enforcement and suddenly the thin blue line has a big, old target painted on their backs. It’s open season on police officers and federal agents alike. She might be the best damn detective in the state of New Jersey but even this case has Claire running for her life.
Not to mention the loss of one of her inner circle seems to have shaken something loose in her mind. Claire’s memories of that long ago day when she was taken from her home as a child are surfacing one after another. But will she remember before it’s too late?
It’s like they always say, every story has its ending.
Are you ready for this one?
It’s gonna sting.
NICUnurse’s Review of Kiss Me Goodnight by Jennifer Rebecca
Kiss Me Goodnight is the conclusion to the Claire Goodnite series by Jennifer Rebecca. Claire and Wes are finally getting their wedding. But before the big day, someone begins shooting up their town, killing cops. Cops that are close friends of Claire’s. As if her state of mind isn’t shaky enough after the last case. Claire and Wes are assigned to this case and hope to end all the chaos before their big day. All while someone else is plotting against them––watching the drama unfold along with them––on top of the crazy sniper. Will they finally make it to the “I do’s,” or will this be the end of the road, literally, for Claire?
When I first began reading this series, Jennifer Rebecca was a new-to-me author. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t really into the first book until about 25% of the way through. Then something in the story grabbed me, and I was hooked. I have been on pins and needles waiting for Kiss Me Goodnight to release to see if I was right about who the ultimate bad guy was. It’s a “game” I like to play with myself and romantic suspense books/authors. I just want to say, “I was right! I was right!” Sort of. There was a bit of a twist at the end that I didn’t see coming in regards to the ultimate bad guy. So, a big high five to Jennifer Rebecca for surprising me when I didn’t think I was going to be surprised by that at all! I also loved the extended epilogues at the end of Kiss Me Goodnight. And the sneak peek at Liam’s book. (Can’t wait!!!)
NICUnurse’s Rating: I give this book, and the entire series as a whole, 4.5 propellers. The characters were quirky, yet lovable. Quite a number of steamy scenes woven throughout but more so in this last book. And the twists and turns kept me turning the pages, not wanting to even take a bathroom break! Congratulations to Jennifer Rebecca on winning me over, at least when it comes to your romantic suspense books. But you did such a great job with them, I’m curious to see how I like your other books, as well.

Exclusive Excerpt:
It’s you
There is a marching band pounding away in my brain.
I must have had too much to drink at the rehearsal dinner last night. I think. I can get my ass ready for today—my wedding day—because if I don’t, my bestie, Emma, will have my ass.
I pry my eyes open, only then do I realize that I am not in our hotel room on the coast. I’m not in the luxury king bed full of fluffy pillows and down comforters near a window looking out at the ocean. I’m not where I should be. It takes my brain a minute, still feeling as fuzzy as it is, that I’m not . . . safe.
The light shines through the wooden slats of the doors.
I’m here. I am right back where I started. Where I thought I would die when I was so small, just a baby really. I’m where I once escaped and had naively thought I would never be back. I scoot back on the worn, torn carpet floor of the closet that I was locked in once before until my back hits the wall. I try to make myself as small as possible hoping against all hope that he won’t see me but as I hear the footsteps growing louder and louder, I know that there is no hope to be found at all.
The closet door swings opened and I realize how stupid I have been. All this time that I struggled, that I suffered from those terrible nightmares and prayed that they would either end or I would finally remember just who had tried to harm me when I was just six years old. All those times I thought I was safe, that I was free, were really nothing but lies because looking down at me with a sinister smile on his face in this little house of horrors from my haunted past is the last person I ever would have thought would be capable of this kind of thing.
I was never free, I was living under the watchful eye of a monster, a wolf in sheep’s clothing just waiting for their chance to pounce. His smile broadens and his eyes glimmer with excitement in the knowledge that he’s won. It’s finally over, this game of cat and mouse that we have been silently engaged in for twenty-four years.
He pulls his leather belt free from his pants and loops it around my neck. I look up into his warm eyes, ones that I had always trusted as he tightens the leather around my neck.
“It’s you. It was always you,” I say as suddenly every memory finally clicks into place. Anna would be so proud.
I gasp as the air is squeezed out of my lungs. I struggle to pull more in even though in my brain I know that it isn’t possible. Maybe this is how it was always supposed to be. Maybe this is how my story was always supposed to end. My name is Detective Claire Goodnite and I’m about to die.
You know what they say, every story has its ending, I just wish I was prepared.
I can already tell that this one’s gonna sting . . . .
