****Not intended for those under the age of 18***Today's review is on Roman's Gold by Ann GimpelWhat is there to say about Gimpel that I haven't already said? In each review I have written for her books I have praised her writing style, her fantastic writing voice, as well as her ability to change genre's between romance and erotic romance. And let's get serious, you all know I live vicariously through the characters in the not-so PG genre.While some of Gimpel's books are a little low on the sex, Roman's Gold takes off at a run. It's, uh hum well, fast and hard right from page two. So much so that I posted the following on Facebook: "Reading Ann Gimpel's upcoming release, Roman's Gold. Only two chapters in and I need a willing partner!! Or at least a cold shower." In other words,  not only were Kate and Devon's juices flowing, but...well you get the idea.Things around the country change a bit in the future. The human population will realizes that they live alongside shifters. Those who change from human to animals such as wolves, bears, mountain lions, and others. And as humans do now, those in the future fear what is different and decide that the only good world is one where shifters are no longer around. In an effort to eradicate these abominations, the government creates not only an elite team of law enforcement agents but a drug that gives these men heightened senses.Devon Heartshorn, a half Paiute Indian, has always wanted to go to law school. Sadly though half Paiute wasn't enough for the Tribal Consortium to underwrite his education so he joined the San Bernardino County Sheriff's office. It all went down hill from there. He found out his wife was sleeping with other men, he was drowning in mortgage debt, and his dream of law school went up in smoke. He finally left San Bernardino, and took a job as a lieutenant with the City of Berkeley Police Department. A job that required him to take the new drug and hunt shifters.Kate; a sex surrogate, knew someone was following her but she played it cool. She was almost to her office.  Once there she hurried inside, locked the door, and gazed through the obscured glass. The man following her was literally tall, dark, and handsome. And hung like a...you get the gist.After seeing her, Devon can't get Kate off his mind. The thinks of her all day and dreams of her each night. He has to meet her, to talk to her, and to get to know her. After a staged first meeting; on his part, and later posing as a client, he makes his move. But with shifter blood in the mix you never know what will happen. Or should I say what animal will happen. Will Kate and Devon's passion be the end of them both, or will it be their salvation?Roman's Gold is just book one in Gimpel's Underground Heat series. I'm sure there will be more danger, adventure, and sex in store for Kate and Devon. Maybe some kittens, I mean kids in their future.5 of 5 starsAvailable at Amazon
