In I Need You: A Valentine's Anthology,  the spotlight falls on three of the  most familiar and intriguing characters/ couples in Ms. Roberts' arsenal . Each of them have their own fiery brand of intimacy and while their encounters are deliciously wicked , it's what is behind that intimacy that really grabs my attention.  We've come to expect the rawness of Scott and Mariana, the absolute power in  Sanora, and the seductive intellect of Nick D'Amato  but what this anthology reveals is the humanity behind the sizzle and rightfully so. What makes reading Ms. Roberts' work so satisfying is that each of her characters has a degree of realness to them even as  they push those boundaries. Even when it's about the sex, it's more than just about the sex. The intimacy between these phenomenal couples just sings across the pages and drives the story to new heights.Who can deny the sparks that fly between Scott and Mariana as they fling fiery arrows at each other, hoping that they hit their intended targets, the joy that Sanora has in knowing that she has a faithful lover and friend in her husband, despite his outward power play, or the honesty  that exudes from Nick and Zerrin's strong bond? What we see in these three astounding couples is that although there is  a perception of absolute authority that a BDSM relationship holds for its players, nothing can delude the binding truth of love, no matter the form.If you are looking for good searing stories to warm  up your Valentine's Day, you've found them in this book!As always, Ms. Roberts, excellent work!
