Merinus Tyler is a talented journalist, a real professional who always gets her story. That is, she gets the story when her overprotective father and six feisty, interfering brothers aren't hampering her, insisting she stay out of trouble and away from dangerous situations. But dangerous situations make excellent copy. Merinus works for the National Forum, where her oldest brother Caleb is editor-in-chief, and she is obsessed with a lead on a potential story.

I was addicted to the story from the first chapter. The characters are easy to like and their perspectives were clear. The action is constant and the story keeps growing, bringing in new people and deftly utilizing both flashbacks and foreshadowing to make a fuller experience but also to set up future books.

I was hooked and the last half was addicting. And steamy! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥/5 ) 2 people found this...

Great book by Lora Leigh in this series. I enjoyed it very much. Some of her stories have focussed and contained more sexual scenes, repeated over and over again, at the expenses of impressive well-thought out plots and deeper character development. In this book, she has found a more balanced approach to very erotic and wondrous sections devoted to sex between two people who begin by not knowing each other as people at all. At the best of times, this would be difficult, but each faces enormous...
