The words you have to know in this book are "destroyed" and "betrayed" because Leigh used them about a million times in her book. Either Leigh has lost her love of writing or I'm just evolving into a different kind of reader.
All her characters are the same. There are absolutely no differences between Archer and the Callahan men (I'm starting to notice the same problem with her Breed series): hard, don't want love but would like to possess you, can't communicate, overbearing, and if you don't agree with him he'll just shut you up with sex type of guy. Archer and Anna basically argue then have sex before anything is resolved. By the fifth time or so I think my eyeballs were permanently rolled back into my head.
I was undecided about Anna. She could be really smart but then act like a wayward teenager the next. First day on the job she has sex with Archer in the board room after a meeting. Plus she does the pity part a lot and treats everything like a rejection no matter what anyone says. More eye rolls please for the spoiled brat. But like I said she can also be very clever.
It would have been nice if Leigh provided some sort of flow chart or glossary of characters because it was hard to keep track. Ironically I think one of the characters actually said that in the book.
Things that made me love Leigh books just weren't present here. Where is the humor? the clever dialogue? the creative sex scenes? Here you have repetitive information, cheesy dialogue, dirty talk, and sex scenes. But you get a small cameo from Jordan Malone in her other series so that was nice.
And the reason behind the mystery will cause you to roll your eyes more.
Despite all my criticism, I did finish the book and will most likely read the next one just to finish the series. My favorite character had to be Oscar the cat. But I am seriously considering dropping Leigh as one of my go-to authors. It's just lately in between the duds sometimes she will come out with a really cool book.
If you have never read Leigh, skip this one and get some of her older stuff.
