I was hoping this would be good, but it pretty much sucked. I couldn't care about the two main characters who spend a lot of time lusting after each other and chasing after a missing heiress. Even though the main characters keep thinking about how mind-blowing the sex is, the actual sex scenes are pretty sketchy and non-mind-blowing. Oddly, the heiress and her young rescuer are much better drawn characters and I found their scenes much more affecting and interesting. I would have preferred a story about them.
Overall, too much telling, not enough showing. The denoument of the plot was utterly contrived and cartoonish, including the hackneyed bad-guy cliche of "I'm about to kill you, but why don't I spent ten precious minutes explaining why you're about to die" and conviently wrapping up every mystery in the plot, giving the good guys time to come in with guns blazing. Lame.
