Agent Erik Sanders is out to get Becker. Once he finds Tori is uninvolved in the crime, he becomes her bodyguard. She is not thrilled to be under protective custody again. Romantic sparks fly, complicated by the fact that Tori’s brother Steven is Erik’s boss.

Erik’s last romantic involvement resulted in a bullet-wound from an evil woman. Tori still rankles over a romantic set-up meant to keep her on her earlier job. Both claim to be willing for a sex-only relationship, even though that’s against NSB policies.

It was hard for me to believe that the nerdy, supposedly socially challenged, professor was such an accomplished sexual scientist. Her adorable klutziness definitely did not extend to the bedroom, where she assumed almost complete control. It was difficult for me to relate to a woman so sure of her her intellectual prowess, yet supposedly emotionally damaged by her earlier protective custody.

I found Erik more understandable, and his partner Daniels was a stable supporting character.

The attempts to get the bad guy and the threats to Tori were not especially compelling or believable for me. The sex scenes, however, held some real steam.
