Rachel Connery is understandably furious when her rich mother dies and doesn't leave her a dime. She lost in court. Now she's out for revenge. She wants to destroy Luke Bardell's Foundation of Being for seducing her mother and swindling her out of her inheritance. The entire time I was reading I was so hoping Rachel would give in to Luke's dark, sensuous appeal (his charisma radiates off the pages). But Rachel is stubborn, & intelligent, with a bottomless well of fury to fuel her resistance. Which makes it so much more thrilling when she finally does give in to the temptation. For anyone who likes bad boys (& Luke is such a GOOD bad boy), I challenge you to this: 3 minutes; give it just 3 minutes & see if you can put it down. Why only 4 stars? Read Night Fall by Anne Stuart and find out (it's darker, edgier, sexier, more disturbing -- just the way I like 'em).
