I've been waiting for this book after downloading the Ultimate Merger a couple of weeks ago. I have purchased other books by the author and I loved all of them. However, this book lacked something and I will explain later. I will admit I may be a little tough on the author because she typically writes books that are steamy but this one was missing the level of hotness I've come to expect.Renaldo and Sabrina are married and separated because pictures emerged with Sabrina in their marital bed with another man. Renaldo loves Sabrina still and Sabrina loves him. They had a great business relationship and love life before he saw the pictures of Sabrina with another man. Renaldo is livid, as he should be and Sabrina cannot explain why she's in their marital bed with another man.They fight like cats and dogs. Their fights are epic! He holds no punches and calls her what he believes her to be, a low down cheater and pretty much every chance he gets. However, he still needs her because of business and she needs him because of love. They are forced to stay together and their sexual relationship ignites again.Ultimately the truth comes out about that night and their lives are forever changed.Pros:Well written!!!Hot alpha male.Sexy female.A real story line.Cons:Here is my take, if you are going to establish a hot turmoil filled romance the love scene on a wedding night should be hot and described as such.  Wedding nights and engagement nights are always laced with memorable sex. He's yours and you're his now, so it's hot but it was described in these words a 'lengthy session of love making' and that was it for the most memorable day in a married woman's life. I didn't feel that when it came to her, she was talking about keeping him and she'd just married him. What are you talking about? You have him in more ways than one, you're married, that's the ultimate 'have' there.Bland sex scenes kill romance books. A couple of the romance scenes were lacking to me as compared to her other books. One was described as 'they made slow, unhurried love to each another.'  That's just not hot and Latin sexy hot to me. Maybe I'm nit picking, buts its how I feel.There were hot encounters but not enough for this to be apart of a hot Latin set of books.  Her book  'Private Acts' was suited for that series, not this one, to me. The next morning after they got back together was hot.  Also, the hottest romance/sex scene to me occurred when I was about the 80% into the book.In closing, this book had potential to be hot because the story line was great, it had sexual tension, anger, and a hot alpha male but it just wasn't a book that was a page turner or one I was in a hurry to finish.  On my days off I can read a great book with this length in a few hours, this one took me at least seven. Heck I cooked, cleaned, talk to the hubby, paid bills online and did everything else because it didn't hold my attention.Not bad but the anticipation for this book was more exciting than the book.
