One of my favorite Jez books.  The attraction and growth of the relationship between Devon and Xan is very well done, hot and intense without stumbling over the love scenes or discarding the relationship growth.  I'm a fairly traditional girl, I like the top/bottom stories, but I really enjoyed the fact that the 'bottom' in this one was strong and powerful, not written as weak and girly.  I also really appreciated that Xan and Devon are written so very differently, sometimes when writers go from one view point to the other there is little difference in the 'voice' of the two characters, in this story you really get a taste of both characters and how their culture and their positions impact their thinking and their logic.  The intensity and angst that Xan experiences when he realizes he's betrayed the wrong 'side' is very well done.  The imagery and descriptions are great, but not over done, I appreciate Jez's minimalist approach to descriptions = short and sweet but never lacking.  Jez is one of the most promising writers out there, in my opinion, good plots, good characters, and well written... I can't wait for more from this author.
