I love how
Jo Raven’s stories pull you right in! No dilly dallying around! It’s thrill
after thrill from the moment when the two main characters meet until the
climatic end! There always seems like a lot going on in a Jo Raven book, and
she never disappoints her readers.
This was
insta-sex almost from the very beginning. Not that I’m not in for a steamy romp
in the sheets, but it seemed a bit much at times. Yes, there was a story here –
in fact, there were two; his and hers. But, I’m more of an angsty sexual
tension sort of gal. Don’t get me wrong, their stories were great, and I never
knew what was going to happen next – unpredictability is my joy – but hitting
the sheets every other page got a little boring. The intimacy level, though,
was off-the-charts HOT as I needed to
recuperate after each encounter...if you know what I mean. LOL!!! And, for some
reason, Ms. Raven’s book just seem a little short. I always feel myself needing
more of her entertaining characters and their lives.
Storm was a
sweet and generous male even with packing the body of a God, which just made me
swoon...ahhhh!!! While Raylin was smart and courageous. There was more surprise
about her as the reader gets to know her within the book. She’s way more than
just a scared young woman on the run. She’s a survivor. Together Storm and Ray
figure out just how much trouble both of their lives are in. And, their stories
pack a punch when the bitter details are revealed in the end. I was over the
moon with Storm’s two friends, Hawk and Rook. Both were sarcastic alpha-males
that had an edge to them that reeked of danger and survival. And, they were
funny too with a somewhat dry sense of humor. Can’t wait to dive into their
books! Should be one hell of a ride! I was a little surprised that we never got
to meet Ray’s dad or brother since they were mentioned so much and held such an
important piece to her story.
This was an
exciting start to Ms. Raven’s new series with promises to boast both romance
and suspense. Can’t ever go wrong when picking up a novel written by this
author. With strong characters and an exciting story, one can only hold their
breath as to what will happen next. You will not be disappointed!
Oh, and how about that
cover? It just begs for you to read this book. Gorgeous!!!
