I was very excited that we were going to hear Mark's POV.  I was upset with him for how he and Ryan cornered Sara at the end of BEING ME, but I find him fascinating and I couldn't wait to get in his head!Mark's story picks up right from where BEING ME ended.  He blames himself for what happened to Rebecca. He is trying to come to terms with what his true feelings really were.  He knows he needed her more than anyone before, but is that the closest to love he is capable of having? He is convinced he has to stay away from women. He is questioning everything that has defined who he is: "I am a Master, a title that defines who I am and how I stay grounded." Sex has always been his drug of choice, but he knows it's no escape for him right now, "not when I don't have control, never without control."His mother is diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer and he is on his way to New York to be with her during her emergency surgery. Crystal Smith, the new head of sales at Riptide, meets him at the airport to take him to the hospital.  An instant attraction arises. Mark does not chase women, although he finds himself chasing Crystal. She is clearly the opposite of what he is normally attracted to. Crystal is feisty, forward and challenging. Mark finds himself in uncharted territory with unfamiliar feelings. He is losing control and desires Crystal, allowing her the control. "I am lost and she has found me."  Hmmm.....the story continues.....Received an advanced copy from NetGalley
