What I like about Lora Leigh books is they go beyond the hot scenes with kinky fantasy guys - they have plots and characters and visual settings. This one has a well done stalker plot - although I'm not sure the bad guy's hiding place is very feasible.

The romance plot starts 3 years into a marriage where the hero has been treating the heroine like a 19th century maiden - very vanilla even though that is not his usual taste. Now he's bringing along his darker tastes [without discussing any of this with her] and expects her to adjust and accept. He is manipulating her to accept Jethro [hard to take that name too seriously] into their bed with the eventual hope to make the menage permanent. [Again, he does not discuss this with her OR Jethro.] The romance plot is further complicated with small town innuendo and gossip.

Personally, I liked Jethro a whole lot better... Mac needed to be smacked on occasion.

Very useful book if you need to steam the wallpaper off the walls...
