Ok let me start off by saying I am a huge Lora Leigh fan... that being said, this book just really didn't do it for me. While I'm all for the hunky, alpha-man, Clint just wore on me. I understand he had a horrible childhood, etc., etc., but frankly I got tired of him using it as an excuse over and over again. He was convinced he could just have hot sex repeatedly with Morganna (who he has been basically in "love" with for 10 years) and that he could just walk away. Morganna, who when dealing with her career was a strong, kick-ass heroine, but as soon as it came to her personal life and Clint, she sort of became a push-over. She does have her moments though! I liked how she could go from being very emotional to verbally knocking down Clint's ego a few notches. The whole book revolves around a serious topic of finding drug dealers who are creating a new dangerous date rape drug. While it sounds like an intense plot line, I feel it was just overshadowed by tension between the H/H. There was just too much, "lets hook up and pretend that we can be in love, at least for now, because this could never happen/work in the future."

On a positive note, the sex scenes were smoking, just as you can expect with Lora Leigh's novels. When first starting the book, I was worried it was heading in a BDSM direction, but it was just for setting the scene (in clubs) for the majority of the book, not carrying over to the sex.

While this book wasn't my favorite, I will probably read more of the series and I will definitely continue to read Lora Leigh's work. This would be a great book for just a quick read.
