It’s hard not to get excited for a military man (special forces, of course) with a penchant for BDSM. This story of Ethan and Ava, the third in the series, is no different. Their story had a great introduction in the previous book – comical, passionate, albeit brief, but there was an instant connection, very palpable.Given that initial connection, I thought we’d jump right in to some serious heat, but Ava feels otherwise, and so began the pursuit. Even though I love a good chase, and I really enjoyed Ava’s character, sometimes it felt a bit melodramatic. Maybe it is the Hollywood setting, which was crazy and fun, as you’d imagine. I was hoping for a little more edge to Ethan – or maybe for that edge to show sooner in the book. I kept wondering where the big, bad Dom was.The book didn’t disappoint though. The last third was a whirlwind. I still can’t decide if I thought it was too much drama or ripe for a screenplay and a go at the theater. Wow. We get a real sense of the camaraderie of the team here, and why they are such a great team. Much to my surprise, I loved the reintroduction of Luna. She basically handed Zeke over in the last book (before that little change of heart, of course). I didn’t want to like her, but Ms. Payne gave her style, wit and a purpose that invests you completely here, and in the next book, which I cannot wait to read given the page-turning conclusion we’re left with. All I can say is, prepare yourself!
