I don't care what it says about me, but boy do I love the bad boys.I've been a fan of Cynthia Eden for awhile now, her Mine books especially, and I think this is my favorite so far.If you've read the first three books in the series then you already know that Drake is the most scarred of the bunch and the most tormented. I admit I wasn't sure I was going to like his story, but that changed when I was introduced to Jasmine. I'm not a fan of weak, TSTL heroines and, thankfully neither is Ms. Eden. Jasmine, like Drake says, is a survivor (and yes each hero in the Mine series says that about their heroine, but sometimes the repetitiveness isn't a bad thing when done right). She's not sitting in a corner lamenting on how life has screwed her over, but trying to make the best of her unique skills and help others. If that means she had to entrench herself in the darker side of life... so be it. At least that lead her into the arms of our Drake. And boy does our Drake pull a complete 180 when he meets Jasmine.Some people bring out the best in each other. Some people bring out the worst. And some bring a balance and clarity that makes you believe in soul mates and reincarnation. Jasmine and Drake are the latter.*SPOILER*Anyone willing to live their life without the one they love to protect them, both from yourself and the ones who would harm them to get to you, is no more deserving then the one who will keep their loved ones safe by there side. But it is all the more heart wrenching. Went through a lot of tissues when I read this book.*END SPOILER*I can't wait to see what Ms. Eden has in store for us next..Favorite quote;And things started to click into place for him. "That's what you do. You don't take jewels. You're an information thief." "Ah, I prefer the term...information retrieval specialist." His jaw nearly dropped. "It sounds better."
