While on assignment in Afghanistan, our heroine, Kate Mercer is a spy who is seduced and abandoned by Sergei Lavinsky, aka the Bear, a hot Russian who makes James Bond look like a choir boy. Disgraced, her career in ruins, heart-broken and mad as hell, Kate holds Sergei responsible for the the death of her boss.Two years later, bent on vengeance, Kate tracks Sergei to The Edge of Reason, a remote lodge in the snowy Alaskan wilderness.  Can Sergei get Kate to listen to his (very good) explanation for what he did, or is she really going to kill him?Of course she's beautiful (after all, this is a romance novel) but what I really love is Kate's take-no-prisoners attitude; the first thing she does when they meet again is almost kick the daylights out of Sergei.  I really loved the way Sergei loved Kate the way she was:  capable, fierce and strong and how he really cared for her and treated her gently and tenderly, when he told her the hurtful truth about what really happened in Afghanistan and even when she was trying to beat the stuffing out of him. The fight scenes were funny, exhilirating and very sexy.The attaction that Kate and Sergei feel towards each other is not only sexual, but emotional as well, and very well written.  The dialog was witty and sexy, the action moved along nicely and the mystery of Sergei's seemingly cruel and unforgivable behavior is satisfactorily explained.  I enjoyed the story so much, I re-read it immediately, savoring every word again.  Even the editing is very good, I saw no grammatical errors, misspellings or bad formatting to detract from the story.I got this as a free download from Amazon and I think it was a really lucky break for me. I look forward to more of Tiffinie Helmer's work and would definitely pay real money for it.
