Imagine the Kiss: Clean Western Romantic Suspense (Crystal Creek Series Book 7) Kindle Edition

4.7 out of 5 stars 174 ratings

She's running from her past. His scarred face makes him hide. Will the secret they share open their hearts to love?


Her marriage in ruins, violinist Teagan Whitloch Munroe escapes into her music and the solace she finds at the Crystal Creek Ranch. Practicing in the woods helps her piece together her life, but she isn’t alone. When she hears someone hiking nearby, she demands he reveal himself, but the only revelation she gets is a soothing voice that heals the pain in her heart.

Maimed by a crushing accident, the once famous architect Phineas St. Cyr protects the world from his disfigurement by sequestering himself in the woods on the Crystal Creek Ranch. When he hears the intoxicating strains from Teagan’s violin, he can’t resist the beauty that quiets his aching soul, and he yearns to know the woman who creates such beauty.

Teagan finds sanctuary in her friendship with this connoisseur of music, but soon realizes Phin’s hiding more than his hideous scars. As they become entangled with each other, Teagan is stunned to learn they share more than a love of music. They are caught in a web of deceit by someone threatening to reveal Phin’s secrets. His exposed past endangers Teagan, and he can no longer walk away. This time he must face the enemy determined to defeat him. He’ll fight to the finish to protect the woman he can never love. No price is too high to keep buried the secret that will mark Teagan for destruction.

If you like clean, swoon worthy romance with lots of spine-tingling suspense, you'll love Imagine the Kiss by Laura Haley-McNeil.

    This was definitely a suspense romance, with more than one crime plot running through the story. Teagan is divorcing her husband for infidelity when he turns up dead in their Denver condo. Phin has been horribly burned in a NYC arson fire and has retreated to the Colorado mountains out of the public eye.
    I loved how the author brought these two creative people together and allowed them to support each other through their trials. Teagan, in particular, is such a gentle soul with a kind and loving heart. But at the same time, she has an unyielding determination which stands her in good stead on both the concert stage and in winning Phin's love.
    I purchased a copy of this book on Amazon and also received a free advance copy of this story in a boxset from the author via BookFunnel and voluntarily chose to share my review.

    This was a very nice book to read. The characters were interesting and well developed, and I, too, felt it was a more satisfying ending than "Phantom of the Opera".

    Two things I would have preferred to see, that Teagan would have been more emotionally stronger than she was portrayed, and that she would have stood up to Phinn more consistently.

    One part of the storyline was not realistic: the murder weapon, how it was employed, and by whom. Also, why were the boxes set on fire?

    Other than that, it was a sweet tale!

    This series just keeps getting better and better. Some of this premise is a bit repetitive from a previous book but it is still framed in a new way and just as catching for reading the adventure. A very engaging series.

    Imagine the Kiss is a beautiful retelling of Beauty and the Beast. The suspense is off the charts! Both Teagan and Phin were such beautifully, broken souls who ultimately heal each other. I was totally wrapped up in their story and could not put the book down!

    I enjoyed this book. It was very intriguing and inspiring. Two people trying to fight their love for each other. It had me admonishing the characters and crying for then.

    Loved this story of mystery, intrigue and love. Huge roller coaster ride of emotions, right up to the end. A top favorite from this past decade of reading, so over 3.5k books read and this one had me cheering on the main characters, because they were easy to fall in love with. Well done, Laura. Please keep on writing!!💖💖
