OMG!!!!! CLOCKWORK ORANGE!!! What a scary ride Ms. Ashton has taken me on. This psychological thriller was very dark, sometimes brutal, but I was captivated. The writing was raw, gritty and spellbinding. I could not put this book down. Although this is not the kind of books I read, I was intrigued by the brilliant storytelling. Ms. Ashton is a stellar author and as much as I did not want to enjoy the story, I did.It was like witnessing an accident on I-95, you know you shouldn't look, but you just can't help yourself. Smoke is such a badass, with a heart of glass. Ms. Ashton is very good at writing bad boys, the kind you root for. I loved Smoke and I'm glad he was written as three dimensional and not as just *a gun for hire*. I'm also happy that Dom got his HEA. Love, love the ending....
