I agree with the previous reviewer that this would have made a better short story. The back of from reading the back of the book, I got the impression that this story took place over a short time period. Instead, the premise is that they got snowed at the end of October and couldn't leave until New Year and they had no communication at all. This is very hard to swallow and feels very contrived. I can't believe that even somebody that is trying to get away from it all wouldn't have a satellite phone or a short wave radio for emergencies. Plus at least a snowmobile or some for of winter transportation and more winter clothes. Basically they are stranded in a cabin a bed, and not much else, including electricity. The book is 272 pages, which is probably 100 pages too long.

Back cover:
"Mark has found the perfect woman - a born submissive. Nothing is more exciting than the subjugation of an independent woman, but Mark soon discovers that while he can control desires of the flesh he cannot control desires of the heart.
Annies lover reveals to her a most intriguing side to his personality, a lifestyle she is drawn to that is both fascinating and intimidating. She is about to learn more about her lover and his wishes, and about herself and her latent desires.
Warning: Power Exchange is a wonderfully written story of a realistic graphically depicted, Bondage/Submission relationship in which there is a true total power exchange."
I didn't care for this book. When I am reading erotic romance, and I am thinking - run away, it ruins the enjoyment. There is a fine line with BDSM books in this book I didn't see the exchange in power. Others may disagree, but I think Mark was across the line as a jerk and Annie was very wishy washy. Throughout the whole book she didn't want to do whatever new sexual situation that she was in, and then Mark pushed her and she decided that she was horny so she liked it. Also be warned, they spend more time in menages or even with completely different people, than they do with each other alone. I felt like they were never established as a couple, rather just two loosely connected members of a larger group.
This book was not badly written. If you like the Aphrodesia line which is more erotica you might enjoy this one more than I did. Ellora's cave is usually more erotic romance, and this book missed the mark, because there was nothing romantic about it.

Bounty hunter Annie Ryan had seen everything - until she started seeing double! Matthew Logan was a by-the-book FBI agent - and the twin brother of the bounty Annie was after. Annie's hunt had compromised Matt's own investigation, and now they would have to work together...intimately.
Matt's orders were infuriating, his rules irritating...but his kisses intoxicated Annie's senses and left her longing for more. Friction between them heated up the chase and Matt's bedroom eyes distracted Annie from her job. Could she get the man she was after and the man her heart desired?

I think I am giving up on the B.A.D series. I agree with the previous review that the series has probably been "handed off." I enjoyed the original short stories and lone book by Ms. Kenyon for the humor and slight campiness. This book isn't a bad story (in the literal sense), but it is rather grim, with some violent and somewhat graphic torture scenes, and has none of the humor of the originals. This book picks up from Phantom in the Night. If you liked that book, then you will probably like this one as well. As for me, I think I will re-read the originals.
