Review: Super powerful, super hot, with edge of one's seat delightfulness!

The fourth episode of ‘French Kissing’ is really good, however quite intense, and painful on occasion, as characters come to terms with harsh realities about themselves, life in general, and events are crashing over everyone. It seems like an essential time for re-evaluation, but that does not actually ease the darkness. It is powerfully presented and heartbreaking. Very impressive! This is real life stuff pounding down on everyone's head with just a few lightweights and one intruder who appears to easily slice and dice folks with seemingly no compunctions. I really want to know what will happen after the dust settles. Astounding!Claire and Margot are attempting to wend their way through some unexpected and difficult times. In the earlier episodes they had clear sailing, seemed marvelously well matched in and out of the bedroom, and certainly appeared to know how to flame the increasing sexual heat between them. The proverbial fly in the ointment that has landed certainly rocks their boat big-time. Though both are impacted in different but powerful ways, Margot is the most stunned by how her serenity is shattered. Shocking!The comic relief, in a very loving manner, is provided by Steph and Dominique. The humor is compassionately intermixed with intensely hot encounters. Continually straddling the thinnest of lines where one misstep could prove immensely costly, they are simply overwhelmed by their feelings. Steph has often pondered how little they appear to have in common except their over-the-top physical need for each other. Attempted time-outs seem to routinely fail miserably, but at the moment that is all that either can conjure up to try to delicately keep things within some controllable limits. Each in their way continues to push the boundaries however. I cannot even venture to predict how these two will manage over the next two episodes. Stupefying!The profound and serious nature of this episode hit home for me. As I suspect most folks prefer to escape the sometimes punishing insistence of reality, I certainly do. Juliette and Nadia have been given a gracious window and a second chance. That gives this episode some balance and a sliver of a reconciliatory window. Plus these two have some wonderful history above and beyond the recent dullness and nearly insane plus tragic events to which they each have owned up. Reality in its less than pleasant aspects is being addressed by all. As Season One turns toward its conclusion, I am prayerful that the obliqueness that put a bit of pale on most of the women during this episode is successfully dissipated with love conquering all. Magnificent!NOTE: This book was provided by the author for the purpose of a review on <a href="http://www.rainbowbookreviews.com/book-reviews/bounty-hunter-by-cornelia-grey-at-storm-moon-press">Rainbow Book Reviews</a>.
