I loved Jeannie from the start; she was strong, graceful and beautiful. The kind of heroine that it's easy to fall in love with, it's easy to see why she was chosen as lead dancer so she can seduce the senses every night.Malcom Reynolds, is a lawyer, warrior and protector of his clan. He was sent to Vegas to bail out his cousin once again. He's dashing, handsome, and easily enchanted by Jeannie's beauty and her plight. He endeared me to him when he chose to help Jeannie.Overall, this is a beautiful, engaging world that I want to visit over and over again. Ms. Long shows that she's a true geek with references that I enjoyed noticing, I don't think the references being noticed or not truly add or lessen the story, but I did enjoy them. I want to know the rest of the Soulgirls stories and hopefully we will have them soon. Please!
