“ Beneath the Surface is a freaking breath of fresh air! In today’s world, buying books is a crapshoot. You never know what you’re going to get with a click of a buy button. Thank goodness there are writers out there like Melynda Price.” ― InD'tale Magazine “Melynda Price’s Beneath the Surface was absolutely engrossing from page one. The action is immediate and never lets up. Quinn and Asher are so wonderful together...This is a story you will not want to miss.” ― Love, Romances & More “In the end, the suspense and mystery in this book are amazing!! I totally did not expect the twist the book took at the end. I still can’t believe who the killer was and how deep in the government went! It really makes you wonder who you can trust and who you should run away from.” ― The Jeep Diva “Overall, Ms. Price has penned another wonderful novel with a strong romance that will enthrall readers along with this couple’s playful banter and Asher’s protectiveness of Quinn. The way this story ended was intense due to what happens to Quinn and what Asher has to do to protect her. I would recommend Beneath the Surface , if you enjoy romantic suspense or the enemies-to-lovers trope.” ― Harlequin Junkie , 4.5 stars Melynda Price is a multipublished author of contemporary and paranormal romance.

Super spin-off from the author's "Against the Cage" series

Super spin-off from the author's "Against the Cage" series. The hero is not a cage fighter, but he is ex-military. I really liked the love story and the characters.

Great suspense!

Beneath the Surface by Melynda Price sizzles with intrigue. It also touches upon my favorite trope; enemies to lovers. When freelance journalist, Quinn Summers, comes home to find her roommate dead, she knows she needs some help. The only problem is, she doesn’t know who to trust, so she turns to Asher Tate.

Quinn and Asher’s history together is brief but explosive. At her sister’s wedding, she was the maid of honor and he was the sexy best man. But when Quinn caught him in the coat room with the coat check girl, going at it, it immediately turned her sour to the idea of him.

When Quinn shows up at Asher’s looking for a bodyguard, Asher is beside himself. He’s no one’s hero and has his own issues to deal with, but letting Quinn leave all alone without safety, isn’t who he is. There’s also a whole lot of sexual chemistry going on between them, that needs resolving. The longer they are together, the more they are able to put their heated frustrations aside and really get to know the other person. With their attraction burning at full force will Asher be able to keep Quinn safe, or will the killer put an end to both of them?

Melynda Price continues to impress me with her engaging stories, steamy characters, and her ability to write exciting romantic suspense. Definitely an author to look out for!
