| Summer Wakayama wants nothing more than to close her tattoo parlor for the evening and retire to the back room with her long time lover, Aidan. Her love life has been severely lacking lately, and she’s planned a night they’ll both remember. She’s gone to great lengths to research Japanese rope bondage and take on the persona of Lady Tigerlily, a dominant seductress who won’t take no for an answer. Only she doesn’t account for the untimely interruption of a desperate woman and her lowlife boyfriend. Suddenly, Summer and Aidan are fighting for a lot more than a chance to renew their passion. They’re fighting for their lives.
Readers looking for a heartwarming tale of rekindled love will be delighted with this emotional story. Ms. Evans knows how to tug a reader’s heartstrings. Her characters are believable and well developed. It’s easy to see what Summer sees in Aidan. He’s outgoing and tender; a man who talks more than your average male, but who also doesn’t hesitate to shower his partner in love and affection. Summer is more than worthy of him. Her determination to get things on the right track between them in the bedroom is worthy of a cheer or two. What woman hasn’t dreamed of taking charge and dominating her lover just once during the course of a relationship? Although the plot falls a little flat and the villains aren’t as engaging as the main characters, the romantic suspense element provides a timely break from the intense sensuality. The smoldering emotion between the hero and heroine lingers even during the extreme danger in which they find themselves, turning a terrifying situation into an intensely impassioned one. Overall, this sexy story will entice fans of the erotic contemporary genre, especially those who enjoy a touch of romantic suspense with their heat.
