Eden Bradley has given us one of those complex stories with sex on almost every page but it also has a depth not always found in such eroticism. Mia's life with her addicted mother is touched on many times. Her first and only real love Ben died when their life was just beginning. Jagger's pursuit of her threatens her life in many ways. Ms. Bradley does such an exceptional job building Mia's story. In my experience a book so filled with eroticism doesn't usually have the sensitivity that this author uses in building the relationship with Jagger. The author gives us a story that lets them meet their deepest fantasies while also helping to resolve long buried pain.

Karalee and Gideon seem to have everything each could ever want but in their case it's Gideon who has an almost insurmountable pain in his past to cope with. Karalee has been proud of her ability to love 'em and leave 'em but she really doesn't know if she can do that with Gideon.

It's so great to have authors who are able to put real human stories into fiction and show us how they are able to work with one another. They're not just four pretty faces and hot bodies. Ms. Bradley gives them humanity as well as sexuality. I think many people will be able to relate in some way to these characters and find this a great book.
