Review: Steamy suspense thriller with a mysterious edge

Complicated Creatures has one of the most interesting plots of any romantic/erotic novels I've ever read. The sexy and dangerous Sam Wyatt who makes a habit of intriguing and confusing successful businessman Jack Roman. I loved the story's (primarily) Chicago setting - Lawless clearly knows her way around the city, a nice touch for those of us who spent our up-and-coming years there. Sam and Jack's witty exchanges are skillfully woven around the novel's interspersed high-stakes action and underlying truth, and remind me a bit of Vanilla Sky. The words Jack uses to describe Sam's scent at one point describe her as a person perfectly: elusive, unforgettable, and maddening.
