Hm, not the best but also not the worst. One thing that I take offense is the off-handed manner with which the word "rape" keeps getting thrown in these books. It is not something funny or sexy and it troubles me every time one of the characters say it. I did like the little action and suspense with the ex husband. ( )

This is a relatively short story. The story is about Sax Brogan and Marey Dumont. Sax has been the third for a number of the Trojans. He is all dominant male who loves making women scream with pleasure. He has been waiting three years to claim Marey. He works at Delacourt Electronics. When Vince, Marey's ex-husband, attacks and almost kills her Sax decides enough is enough and sets out to claim his woman.

Marey has hid from making a commitment to Sax because of her insane ex-husband Vince. She is afraid that Vince will harm Sax and that Sax will break her heart when he leaves her. Mary took care of her parents while they were ill so she did have much of a life. Marey wants Sax she just isn't sure how things are going fall out. When she takes her courage in her hands and tries to make a better life for herself Vince strikes again.

Ms. Leigh does manage to pack a lot into this short story. There is the search for Vince. Sax convincing Marey that she is the only one for him. Marey finally realizing Sax is the one for her. Finally we are introduced to Daniel Conover, Lucian and Deveril's brother. He is the third and a private investigator. Finally as always there is the very hot and steamy sex scenes that will have you searching for a snowbank to cool off. This is a very good story and hits well with the rest of the series. ( )
