About the
Book:
Killing
Casanova is based in the small ranch community of Lindley, Nevada where Jake
Caswell claims the skills and reputation of infamous womanizer ‘Casanova’,
until he meets Cassie Taylor, who is seemingly oblivious to Jake’s irresistible
charms. Jake determines to add Cassie to Casanova’s list of conquests and
unknowingly pulls her into his troubled life. Cassie uncovers old tragic wounds
and a world of violence she did not expect, and her own life is at risk from
Casanova’s enemies. Worse, she fears the truth about him will leave her heart
as the next victim of Casanova’s flawed perceptions. Will Cassie be able to
uncover the man behind the mask amidst the threat of peril? Is there hope for
love in a tangled web of danger and
blind distrust?
Overall
Thoughts:
I was hooked from the very beginning. It’s a unique love story a healthy mix of
horses, cowboys and the visually impaired. As you crawl between the pages, the
first person you meet is Jake. He is easy on the eyes, popular and self
absorbed. At a local bar, he meets Cassie, our heroine. As Jake gets to know Cassie he learns quickly
that she is independent and focused on helping others. This may not sound like
they would go together, but author manages to stir it up into a niftily
concocted novel that holds a bit of suspense, a bit of romance and a life
lesson all tied up into a cleverly plotted story line.
"Killing Casanova" breaks down the barriers of human feelings and
kindness and asks can “true love” be found? It's a well-written and an enjoyable
read whose characters you'll find yourself falling in love with from the
get-go. The imagery is wonderful and the way McDonald helps you see things from
the blind characters' POVs is amazing!
Note: No sex is in this romance making it a great book for young adult/college age girls too. We were provided an ARC for review as a professional courtesy. No monetary or other compensation was involved.

About the Author:
Debut author
Traci McDonald has been a writer since she figured out how to make words on a
page. Traci wrote for English classes like most people, but she wrote everything
else in between. Traci won minor competitions with short stories, poetry and
lyrics before becoming visually impaired. That is just a political correct way
of saying Traci McDonald is blind. Traci lost her eyesight 17 years ago, but it
never stopped her from living life and following her dreams. She has struggled
with her health and raising kids, prior to the publication of her first
novel. Traci is very excited to see her dream in life coming
true. She lives in a small cozy town in the Mojave Desert, less than 150
miles from Las Vegas, Nevada.
Traci
McDonald has four other books in the process of becoming published and a whole
list of others she plans to write.
