****************************************************************************************TITLE: Edge of the EnforcerAUTHOR:  Cherise SinclairMALE LEAD:  Alexander (Zander) deVriesFEMALE LEAD: Lindsay RayburnSERIES:  Dark HavenSTORYLINE:  deVries calls in his IOU to Lindsay (see My Liege of Dark Haven).  A relationship develops, but how will it ever work.  She is a sweet submissive (who can go a little Texas on you) and he’s a hardcore sadist and mercenary.  Added to the mix, you discover that Lindsay is actually on the run, under an assumed name because she murdered her husband in Texas.  When her enemy finds her, deVries and the others pull out all the stops to find her before it’s too late.GRADING (scale 1 – 10, with 1 being horrid and 10 being HEA material): 100!Likability (Male): 10.  In the previous books, I thought he was a bit of a jerk, but when you get his backstory, you fall in love with him, right along with Lindsay.Likability (Female): 9.5, she had an annoying moment or two, but like deVries, when you discovered her backstory, you fell in love with her.Hot Factor between Leads: 10.  10.  10.Hot Factors between Secondary Characters:  What there was, was important to the storyline.  I don’t know that I would say it was hot, but it wasn’t gratuitous.LIKELIEHOOD OF THE SERIES CONTINUING: Before this story, I would have said not likely, but a few characters were introduced.  Atticus and Ethan.  Ethan is a Dom at Dark Haven.  I suspect Atticus will be.  Dixon got his HEA with Stanfield.  I’m not sure if they will get their own story, but I do think we’ll be seeing the growth of their relationship in other stories.WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THE BOOK:  Everything.  I absolutely love the Dark Haven series.  I was a little hesitant with Logan at first.  He seemed to be using Becca for his own amusement in their book, Master of the Mountain; but in continuing books, I have grown to like him more.  I liked that we learned both deVries and Lindsay's backstories.  I loved that we learn why deVries chooses males subs and it’s not because he is bi-sexual.  He isn’t.  I loved that Ms. Sinclair realizes that fans of this series, see the characters as ‘FAMILY’ and always updates you on their lives.  And I love that she incorporates so much real-life into the story - it's not just about the sex.WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT THE BOOK:  The price.  But that’s not her fault.KEEP or REFUND: It’s a keeperGRADE:  SIDE-NOTE:  If you are looking for a BDSM series to read, this is the one.  The Dom’s Dungeon by Ms. Sinclair was good, but it’s not a series.  I don’t like the Shadowland series with the exception of a couple Doms.  I like Cullen.  I love Sam.  I can take Marcus.  I don’t like Nolan or Raoul much (though I liked them before they got their own books); they want slaves – with Raoul wanting a 24/7 arrangement – that is just demeaning ---- to me.  If you like that sort of storyline, you would probably like it.  I don’t like ménage storylines, so I didn’t even buy Vance & Galen’s story.  I’m not crazy about Z…he seems to veer to the slave side as well.  And don’t get me started on Dan.  He is reprehensible.Read Dark Haven.  Get past Logan’s seemingly insensitive treatment of Becca and you’ll love the series.ReaderGurlReviews: 1420
