Another serious page-turner which kept me up way beyond sleep time, BUT as much as I am into Talon Steele, and even Jade (no matter how much she let pass), I don't really like the love at first sight kind of start. And the troubled-fucked up man-abused as a child was a bit too much as a cliche to me (maybe because I've read too recently another with the same trope). So, I liked it, am gonna read the next (because really, with that kind of cliffhanger what else can one possibly do), but with issues.
