Ms. Roberts once again tackles a story with what main stream Americans find appalling and degrading. We all pass judgments on people for different reason regardless of what they are. Prostitutes and pimps being the lowest of the low based on believing there is a choice in the matter.I have to say from the get go that I like both Enzo and Jackson for different reasons. They are men and have a way of drawing you in. It doesn't hurt that Vera showed us her muses for Jackson and Enzo and they are seriously sexy men! Putting that aside, Enzo's heart held the key for Angie where as Jackson was a means to an end. Jackson never had Angels heart because he wasn't her key to opening her heart, Enzo is. What amazes me is how well Ms. Vera takes each character and make them so whole that you can relate to them on some level. She doesn't give us meaningless characters or connections. The cameo of  Scott and Mari was intriguing and I wonder if we will see Enzo and Angie in S&M; IV. I can only guess that it was Dove on the dance floor giving Enzo brother Dante and his Popi a fabulous fantasy. I don't like Dove at this point.Once again Ms. Vera delivers an erotic and complete story with full and vibrant characters that jump off of the page. They are complete with depth and since of knowing who they are at a particular moment in time. I love the flow of how you got a peek of Angela finally making it and then the back up that led up to that point. I have to say that I feel that Enzo and Jackson are both rescuers in their own way. Are they right, no but their not completely wrong either. I hope we hear more about Jackson and Liane at some point. It goes to the fact the heart knows even when the brain resists. There are lessons to be learned in the fact that no matter what we know about right and wrong, we don't change it without something better and more promising than what we currently have. Angela knew she was leaving but not how it was going to come about. Jackson was in denial. I loved the twist with Jackson not being completely surprised. I wasn't sure where the ending was going but I can truly accept it.Great Job Ms. Vera! Thanks for keeping it real and strong.
