“Hi,” he said, a single syllable that touched off a concussion of illogical pleasure inside her.
“Hi, Brian,” she responded, tamping down the temptation to hug him hello. “How’s the new baby doing?”
“Great, thanks. How’s that bump on your head?”
Matilda touched an edge of one of the butterfly strips over her eyebrow. “Turning every color of the rainbow, but it’s fine.”
He swiveled his head toward the throaty bark of the wolfhound in the corner of the room, then scanned the other occupants in the lounge: primate, feline, porcine, wolfish and human. “Steve told me you’re a great vet. Looks like you’re pretty swamped here.”
“Shamus and I split the patient load,” she said.
“And Shamus is?”
“My brother. He came for me at the hospital yesterday?”
Brian’s eyes bored into her, a sexy smile twitched the corner of his lips. “Good.”
“And ‘good’ means?”
“The big guy isn’t competition. That’s good.”
“Ah. So we’re clear. What competition would that be?”
The sexy smile twitched again. “For but a smile from sweet Matty,” he lilted in an Irish brogue.
Squelching an impulse to grin, she molded her face serious and parroted a brogue, “Ah but woe to the knave who plies smiles with an untrue heart.”
She grinned now. “What can I do for you, Brian? Did you get an estimate to repair your car?”
“It’s about that letter you brought me. It’s related to a case. We need your help.”
Of course. “I gave you the letter. You know as much as I do. “ Her heart hammered, nothing to do with the pulse acceleration from earlier flirtation. I can’t go further with this case. No matter what I have to stay anonymous.

"Another great romantic suspense story featuring the crime fighting Sullivan family! Matty is a fascinating character, and the set up in this story is just ripe for major misunderstandings and betrayals. Matty swore to never go to the police again with her "truths," but she can't seem to avoid getting involved in this situation. Brian from the beginning doesn't take Matty seriously which puts her at risk when the word leaks out that she is helping the police. Brian promised not to tell anyone, and Matty can't trust someone who doesn't honor their word. It must just be chemistry between these two because there can't be a real relationship between two people who can't trust one another, can there? This story is the most emotionally volatile of the three books so far in this series; be prepared to get angry, cry, and ride a roller coaster with your emotions while reading this story. I needed to rest when I finished this book, and I loved it. But I'm eagerly awaiting the next tale in this series." Stephanie B., Fallen Angels

"...This mystery romance is a great read and I’d recommend it to anyone. The writing is fresh, lively and smooth flowing. Daughters created a fantastic read and I am looking forward to read other works by this author!" ~ Night Owl Romance (full review)
4 Stars: Great Read
"The writing voice of K.M Daughters is fresh, innovative, and entertaining. In their new book, Capturing Karma, that voice comes through with a well-crafted story that will keep Suspense/Mystery lovers enthralled. And for those who lean more toward Romance, you'll love the relationship between the book's main characters, veterinarian Matty Connors and homicide detective Brian Sullivan. Polls apart in personality and immediate goals, these two come together with a bang, literally, and the bumps don't stop there. There is a murder to solve, but before they can do that, they need to find a way to trust each other. Attraction isn't a problem, but the twisting, turning circumstances that ensue, don't make falling in love easy for these two. If you haven't read any of the works of K.M. Daughters, now's the time to add this writing team to your list of favorite authors." ~ Linda Coker, Between The Sheets
