Annalise Blakely is living out her mother's dreams of doll making, it isn't her dream, she wishes she could have been a fashion designer. But she shrugs off her pipe dreams and focuses on keeping her Mother's legacy a success. So when she gets an odd box on her birthday, one that contains one of her company's handcrafted dolls, she puts it to the side and focuses on other issues more important, such as why business is declining and why her half brother has decided to look her up now. Why her deadbeat father suddenly wants to be the man he never was to her, and why Tyler has entered her life. Yes, Annalise is finally dating, Tyler is a homicide detective, who brings horrifying news. Someone is killing women and dressing them up as Blakely dolls and leaving them around town. Although no one knows it, the killer's final display is to be the first doll ever made, the Annalise doll.

EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE is an intense book that takes you from the boredom of every day life, to the exhilarating excitement of trying to figure out who may be the serial killer on the loose. Annalise is the product of divorced parents and she has long blamed her father for many wrong doings in her life, but has never stopped to ask him what really happened when she was young. Now that her mother is dead, Annalise continues living under the pretense that her father was the one who did wrong. She will not meet her step-mother, or her half brother. She only needs her mother's business to keep her happy in life, but when she goes out on a blind date at her best friend's insistence and she learns that maybe she doesn't have enough in her life to fill her up. Tyler is every woman's dream, sexy, attentive, employed, and irresistible. It doesn't take long for the pages to heat up with the attraction between the two of them. The two rattle each other's lives and the love that grows is sweet and tender. The murders however, are not and as the killer gets closer to his final kill, the book really heats up. The hero is not one you would expect. and EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE is a great love story with some every day family dysfunction thrown in.
