Review: Hot and lyrical

The writing has a cadence that drew me in and made me feel like I was reading something like The Historian, or an Edgar Allen Poe story (if he wrote erotic romance!). "Amber eyes" catches Sara one day in a bar she frequents, helping her after an oaf spilled her bloody mary drink all over her. Timid and in a precarious work situation as a temp, she needs help cleaning up -- and gets so much more."Amber eyes" turns out to be the owner of the bar/restaurant and a mysterious figure who seems timeless. Aames leaves us wondering through a slow, hot build of a story -- and then leads into a sequel. I found myself riveted by the way she wrote about the stranger and his timeless ways, and look forward to reading the sequel. The sex scenes build a great deal of tension and were hot, hot hot, too -- a strong beginning to a series.
