Bullets, intrigue, betrayal, a sexy casino/club owner, feisty redhead spy and their steamy and fire extinguisher worthy sex! And that is just the first couple of chapters!Jasmine Bennett as been running her whole live, from one frying pan into another, since she was 15, because she has so many secrets, that she is either hiding or running from. Jasmine has been an "Information retrieval specialist" to survive and her next assignment is the yummy, sexy and dangerous casino and club owner, Drake Archer. Get as close as possible, tease, distract, break into his secure computer, but never ever have sex with him.Drake Archer has been many things in his life, military, spy, covert contractor, entertainment mogul and also a killer. He has so many regrets, but the one thing he will always remember, "Women are liars, deceivers, killers and never love or trust any of them!" Drake learns from the hands of the woman, as she stabbed and attempted to kill him. Now all women are only used for one thing, sexual release.Jasmine rocks Drake's world, when she is running from his club by an unknown man, who Drake thinks either wants to rape or kill her. When Drake realizes Jasmine is bait, he basically kidnaps her to his Vegas home and start their sexual game of dominance. She pushes his buttons and he caresses all of hers. Drake not only wants this fiery redhead, but CRAVES her and wants to keep balls deep inside of her. Jasmine has never had so many orgasms in her life, but the wall around her heart are breaking open. Their dangerous adrenaline filled adventure takes place in Vegas and New Orleans, has bullets flying, the FBI, explosions, vengeance from an old nemesis from his past, Drake's helpful family and "PULL THE FIRE ALARM" passions galore. Can Drake not only trust, but love Jasmine? Can Jasmine keep the danger away from Drake? Who wants them both dead? When will they realize that their love will make them stronger?This is my first Cynthia Eden's contemporary romance without vampires, shape shifters or demons. I have always loved Ms. Eden's humor, great characters and steamy and passionate scenes, but I was scared that without paranormal the story wouldn't be as good. Ms. Eden throws bullets, intrigue, explosions, dominance charged sexual scenes and two truly lonely people into my book cosmos and I fell in love with all of it. Jasmine is a strong, kick a$$ and "takes no names" heroine, but she is so flawed, damaged and also screaming for acceptance and love. Drake is a harden, torture and "heart behind a minefield" hero, who learn all his lessons the hard way, with pain and betrayal. Ms. Eden doesn't disappoint with her "sparks, steamy and then BOOM" there goes my Kindle scenes. She receives my score of 4 fingers up and 9 toes! The rest of the Mine series is at my library, so YEAH for me!NetGalley ARC given for my honest review.
