Sometimes sequels disappoint. I have yet to have that problem with ANY series that has Heather Long's name on it.In book one, you get just a quick, brief glimpse at Rose's character, the dancer who will be taking the lead role once Pandora has moved on.  In book two, the Amazon Princess fights herself and her upbringing to finally let herself fall in love with someone who should be her enemy.The Amazons and the Were Tigers have long been enemies. When a group of tigers, led by the oh-so-sexy Anthony, come to the Arcana Royale, she can think of only one thing: kill him. He is a Were, and the show be damned. Never mind the feelings that he stirs inside her, he has to die. It is her duty as an Amazon, even more so as a Princess. Anthony, recognizing her as an Amazon, has one goal in mind: take her back to his Pride as the ultimate prize, and make her submit to him. Never mind the fact that he wants her to submit willingly. She is the key to his future in the Pride.When her fate is literally put into Anthony's hands by the stage manager Heidi, he becomes determined to know the truth behind her captivity with the Mystery Lounge, winning her over and losing himself in the process. When her Tribe and his Pride both show up on opening night of the new show, they are forced to choose: stand and defy their families, or deny themselves?This book may be just over one hundred pages long, but it feels so much longer than that. Ms. Long manages to pack so much into those pages that you'd swear you just read double that length.
