I loved all of Kat Martin's "Against The..." series, EXCEPT this one!
This book is HORRIBLE! Incredibly boring, exceedingly predictable, and WAY too long. Her 400 page book could've been summed up in 150 pages easy.
The storyline focused on a lackluster heroine brokering an oil rig equipment deal with a Saudi Arabian sheik & his entourage...yawn. The plot simply did NOT appeal to me.
Jake Cantrell, the hero, was written as a stereotypical "former Special Forces" hunk & 2-dimensional bad-ass. It just didn't work.
Better luck next time, Kat.......this book isn't even worth skimming.

I have Against the NIght on my keeper shelf so was really looking forward to this book. I was hugely disappointed because I couldn't like the heroine at all. Even in the final pages of the book she still wants to deny her love for the hero because he isn't the type to like to attend the ballet! I wanted to give her a shake throughout and wish I hadn't forced myself to finish this one.
