Originally Reviewed For: Tea and BookMine to Crave is Drake's story.. and it is a story like none other. Each story has it's unique element and Drake's bad boy image gets shot to hell.. Finally Drake meets his match.Jasmine Bennett has a mission, get in get the job done and get out. Only question is.. how? She needs to get into Drake Archer's inner sanctum but before she can set her plans in motion a thug bounty hunter tries to take her captive. Fortunately, this works in Jasmine's favor and captures Drake's attention. Now for the hard part.. to seduce or not to seduce. Jasmine had no clue that it was even an option. Sparks fly from the beginning but Jasmine has a job to do and must use all her abilities to get it done.Drake Archer, trusts no one except his two best friends.. brothers in arms. And they have earned that trust many times over. Trust a woman? Yeah, been there, done that. Now he's the love em and leave em type. But something about the sexy Jasmine speaks to him. Totally and completely. Finding out that she too has betrayed him sends him spiraling into a cycle of retaliation and revenge. Except even then he can't hurt her. He knows somewhere deep inside that he NEEDS her.Of course if it was just a case of industrial sabotage this wouldn't be a Cynthia Eden Suspense book.. There are deep undercurrents running throughout this book and as readers, at best we can only hang on and let the tide sweep us along.Intense complications, family ties and emotional depths that are the stock and trade of Ms Eden's suspense books. A true page turner.. Edge of your seat action! But while the action sweeps us along it's the emotional depth that pulls us under. There is such love here. Two people who find the one.I will admit, I cried. Drake's passion, his total and complete surrender to love was a beautiful thing. For a man who no longer believed to find love, is a gift. And Drake will do anything to keep that light in this world.Man oh man.. another powerful book. Another Five Plus story.. Each and every one of the Mine to books tell a unique story about a powerful man who discovers that strength comes from surrender! And I LOVED them.Drake is totally and completely swoonworthy and his book was most definitely worth the wait.ShauniThis review is based on the ARC of Mine to Crave, provided by the author for my honest opinion.
