I am a  huge fan of Jade Jamison's Bullet and Nicki Sosebee series.... I always get nervous for her and have great expectations when she releases a new series so when I was given a copy of this  book...I had to read it right away!I never read the short story from which this book was based upon, so I was reading blind with no pre-judgment. I know a lot of readers do not like books with cheaters or stories where cheating plays a major role in the plot, but I can honestly tell you that although the story starts off with a woman hiring Jessica to find out if her husband is unfaithful (by paying her to essentially entrap her husband), this one is about so much more than that and honestly I did not let the cheater word affect my enjoyment of this at all!Jessica meets Kage when she is hired to find out if he has been cheating on his wife Kay. It is a planned seduction that almost doesn't happen because (without giving too much of the story away) Kage is not the lying, cheating bad husband that his wife paints him to be. What happens after they meet is the real story here...the revelations into what kind of relationship Kage really has with his wife as well as the man he really is inside.Jessica is not a skanky homewrecker trying to make a load of cash by agreeing to do this deed...she is a smart student, struggling to make ends meet and finds herself in a bind for the payoff.Should she have done something different to get that money? Sure. Should she have backed off when she realized how she would be going against all her beliefs and values, even though Kage was hot and it would be easy money? Maybe. But in the end, choices were made, and the reality was that they were destined to meet one way or another, and Kay's choice to dangle Jessica at her husband like a pice of candy to a sugar addict, was her big mistake and ultimately her loss.This book is steamy hot without being over-done, sweetly loving and full of tender moments as well as some major conflicts that will make you question the state of your own love life. When conflicts do arise, I love that Jess and Kage talk it out like mature adults...not screaming and fighting where misunderstandings are allowed to fester for longer than necessary. A different kind of book for Jamison but she still puts her love for hard rock/metal spin to it and her down to earth writing style is enagaging...very conversational and fun.Teaches some solid life lessons, without being preachy and ultimately shows that good things really do come to those who wait and are patient and the biggest one of all...Be careful what you wish for...because you just might get it and if it makes you unhappy, it was all your own fault =)***** 5 ***** "Deliciously HOT soulmates" stars
