This is one lustful read and I need to be on a plane to New Zealand, now! This is my first read of a Christine Edwards book and as soon as I finished I was on the hunt for more! She certainly knows how to write a smoking hot alpha.Valla Denier (love that name!) is a shy but adventurous woman and she is on a camping holiday in New Zealand where she has soon made firm friends with her campmates. When they visit a quaint café her glance takes her to a gorgeous specimen of a man that she can’t take her eyes off. Later that evening, still berating herself for not saying anything to the man, she is at a local bar when she sees him again. After a few drinks she takes courage and steps up to the mic to do some serious karaoke and sings a seductive song that appears to have affected the man big time.Brocan Judge (yet another great name!) aka Judge is a local and a dom. He is entranced by the beauty he saw earlier today and now again on the stage singing her intentions to him. When she goes to the bathroom they ‘bump’ into each other but just as the sizzling tension starts to erupt, her campmates interrupt to say they are heading back to camp. Valla puts it down to another interlude that was never to be. Later that night though she is rudely awakened, drugged and kidnapped! When she awakes she finds herself in a bedroom with the smoking hot guy sat staring at her intently. Who could believe he would become her captor?There is a lot more to the hows and whys she has been kidnapped and also who did it. But what happens next is an amazingly sexy and intense read. There are some mild BDSM elements but nothing too extreme and actually enhance the seductive and dramatic development of Judge and Valla’s relationship. When Judge gives her the option to stay or go but if she stays she knows the intent, she is at a quandary what to do and when she does take action the outcome is certainly not what both were expecting.This was a fabulous gritty and scintillating read with plenty of emotional tirades that the reader is taken through. I certainly could not get enough and I loved everything about this book. I am a definite new fan of Christine Edwards and this book deservedly gets a five star rating from me.
