He'd done it before, hired to destroy a woman by invading her body.  But she was different; the loss of physical control alone was not enough to ruin her when so much of her own humanity had already been taken.B.G. Harlen has created a female character who has the strength to separate what is happing to her body from what is happening to her mind.  This author defined a man whose charm may be a cause to seek redemption for him, but his actions remind us never to forget how deadly he is.  This story is told from the perspective of whose dominate mind will survive when who holds the power remains uncertain.  It is said that this isn't a love story, but I beg to differ.  These characters are smart, strong but broken and are drawn to the twisted sense of emptiness they both possess and for them, it may be as close to love as they can get.  The pace is slower but the writing intense, the delivery and dialogue are flawless.  Anyone who is intrigued by the plot should take the synopsis into consideration before reading; this is not a subject that is easily embraced.  This is one of those stories I thought about for days after I finished and applaud this author for writing such a compelling novel.
