Devlin Kiersen, 38, had been involved with Barbara Folsom-Worthington, 53, for the past 12 years. Each summer she hired an assistant to go to a private island with her. This year she hired Kira Kimberlynn Nestor, 24-year-old college senior, majoring in art. By accepting employment with Barbara, she got a brand new, expensive wardrobe, luxurious accommodations, and a social life she had never dreamed possible. There was just one big problem! Kira didn’t realize what kind of “assistant” Barbara hired every year. Since she was 15 years older than Dev, and she liked to swing both ways, Barbara always hired a young, beautiful woman to keep them both entertained. However, she always let Dev go first!

This book, as I said, is packed with strong character personalities with lots of energy and high sex drives, as well as sordid pasts. Ms. Lucas has presented them just as you would unfold a family portrait; each person has such depth and, either caring or self-interested, all share a desire to have someone to love. Even though Kira is consistent throughout the book, it is obvious that she is out of her league. To say that they had unusual activities is an understatement! This unique plot, while fast-paced, was almost impossible to put down. I loved the way she developed the two main characters and allowed us to figuratively see into their souls! The sexual scenes were very explicit and quite often; however, I felt they were artistically done and emotionally stirring!

I really loved this book and feel that it should be read by all; you definitely will not be disappointed. Well done, Ms. Lucas!
