Hmmm...I was really looking forward to reading this book, but something was missing for me. I felt the story line was a little rushed and I just didn't find the sexual tension to be as drawn out as I would like. Usually, there is some term of endearment, whether it's naughty or nice, between the main characters, but that was lacking too. I think the teaser between Mel and Painter in Reaper's Stand gave me such high expectations that this book couldn't quite measure up.
