Almost from the beginning Nathan hates involving Sasha in that life again, but it's his baby sister's life at stake. Swearing to protect Sasha and rescue his sister, Nathan uses Sasha to gain access to the drug lord in exchange for the promise that the chip that monitors her every move will be removed. As the rescue plans drag them all into dangerous territory, the attraction and respect between Nathan and Sasha build.The author kept me on the edge of my seat with action and danger at every turn. I worried, not only for the safety of both women, but for the terrible risk that Sasha could be caught by the drug that nearly ruined her once before. Her physical addiction might be curbed, but her psychological addiction still lurks. I could feel her fear and admire her courage as she takes ever more dangerous risks.The author does a masterful job of portraying Nathan's frustration and fear that he won't be able to keep her safe and allaying any worries I might have had that his actions made him less than heroic.  I didn't need to judge him harshly when he was doing that for himself.The author also provided a deliciously creepy portrayal of the drug dealer. Kind and solicitous of Sasha when she appears to be ready to return to him, we can easily see how the young Sasha could have been drawn in.  He is just as convincingly dangerous, and when roused, his temper and violent behavior seem just as much a part of him and doubly terrifying.If you're looking for an addicting mix of romance, suspense, and action, in a science fiction setting; you should definitely get Caught in Amber.
