Riley Kane suspects the death of her fiancé Trevor was not what it seemed.  Trevor, a police officer was gunned down in the line of duty.  Riley however cannot come to terms with Trevor’s death and feels there is more than meets the eye that went down that day.  Riley confronts Trevor’s best friend, Noah about what she thinks, and while reluctant to admit it, he begins to look into the case his friend was involved in during his death. 

Noah Roarke has been in love with Riley since Trevor first started dating her, but suppressed his feelings for his best friend’s fiancée.  When Riley comes looking for his help, it is all he can do to keep his hands to himself, but Trevor has been his best friend since childhood, and even after his death, he feels guilty for wanting Riley. 

Maureen Smith’s second Kimani Romance is a treat!  Filled with tension, drama, and enough lust to melt the pages, it is a fast read that will delight readers.  Noah brings enough sex appeal to the table for any woman, and Riley fends him off and made this reader wish she had a gorgeous policemen knocking on her door!  The interplay between these two make for a great tale but the secondary characters topped the bar.  They stay in the background yet lend enough plot to A GUILTY AFFAIR to make readers want more. 

This is a novel filled with emotional tension.  While Riley and Noah both believe they knew the man Trevor was, finding his true path in life is a dramatic event that left this reader breathless.  Trevor is deceased as the story begins, but he plays such an integral part, he comes alive.  Learning about his last days is traumatic for Riley and Noah, and written with such detailed emotion that readers feel a connection to the main characters and their lives.  This romance is one of the best written for Harlequin’s Kimani line, and should be cherished for a long time to come.
