Helpful Score: 6
Sydney Croft is the pen name for two authors: Stephanie Tyler and Larissa Ione (of Demonica Series fame). This books is erotica m/f with one brief m/m scene (not with hero).
Plot Summary: A man, with amazing abilities regarding the weather, is sought out for recruitment by two agencies dealing with Covert/ Rare Operatives (read: special abilities like telekinesis etc...). The good guys intend to seduce him into their ranks, the bad guys plan to terrorize him. This is the main plot... there are two other subplots going on as well. There are some times when, as another reviewer mentioned, you must work HARD to suspend disbelief.
Main Characters: Remy (hero) and Haley (heroine). Remy is a solid hero. He is written well, so well, that he really does seem to jump right off the pages. Haley, also is written well enough that she seems "real". I liked both characters, didn't love either of them. Haley was competent, intelligent, a bit whiney (her trauma was that her parents loved each other too much! *sob*) Remy was a bit more sympathetic. But both were intelligent, comfortable in their sexuality, solid enough characters.
Best About This Book: VERY well written for an erotica book! Lots of action (in all senses of word) interesting characters, interesting secondary characters, interesting concept (an agency of secret agents who have special psychic abilities). I liked the premise, liked the characters, liked the writing.
Worst About This Book: The sex scenes did seem to go on for awhile. And were very frequent. This is not a minus for an erotica book, usually, but this book was good enough that I actually wanted a little more plot and a little less sex. But really, that wasn't sooo bad *grin*.
Summary: I liked this book. Enough to consider paying full price for the next in the series. DEFINITELY worth a credit. I am passing it on mainly because it is wishlisted to high heaven and it was just shy of keeper status for me. Little less sex, little more plot, slightly more likable heroine and this one would have stayed on my shelf!
