Fresh KA - Ahhh but it's good to be back in Carnal with its loveable residents. Won't rehash the story just want to share what I liked, which will be a bit tricky without giving away any hints, surprises or spoilers. Want you all to enjoy them (and there are some really good ones) as much as I did as the story unfolds. Story opens after Lady Luck and Chace is burdened with guilt and wrongdoing for the role he played in all that went down in Lady Luck along with his intense hatred of his father (the reference to Darth Vader was priceless). Chace/Fay after eyeing each other from afar for years and having a bit of a rough start, jump in with both feet and it was all go from there. Chace is the tortured hero, and another delicious example of KA's famous alpha males. For all Chace's bossiness he can be sooo sweet and sees Faye as his miracle/ his angel. Although he feels he doesn't deserve her, thank gawd, he goes for it. For me Chase was a mash up of Tate/Mitch (my KA fav's)...alpha sweet. Faye-for a quiet shy librarian, gets her fiery temper up a times then lets it rip. Liked her character, she's no one's pushover although heavy on the geek side. Fun, funny references to several popular sci-fi TV/movies. Loved the Firefly references - Inara/ Serenity Wash...could this also be KA's alter ego inner geek showing? If so, she sure knows her stuff, if not she's certainly done her homework. Chace sure doesn't waste any time in the love department and virgin Faye is a willing student as Chace initiates her into the world of delish steamy love scenes. There are two mysteries going on during this story. One in involving The Elite (evil villains from Lady Luck) and trying to find out who murdered Misty, Chace's ex in Lady Luck. The second, a heart wrenching story with a mysteriously elusive young boy who appears in the library from time to time looking malnourished/abused and Faye/Chace's attempts to lure him in so they can help him. The second story while wonderful and endearing with a great HEA, this part of the story at times for me were Kleenex moments. Both Chace/Faye become this boys miracle with Faye as his angel and Chace as his hero. Even thinking of it now tears me up (sniff). An introduction of a new character, Chace's friend Deck is exciting since KA announced both Deck and Deke (Tate's friend) will both get their own bk. Loving it as this is my fav of KA's series. What could be better than more from Colorado Mtn, I ask you?!? There's a lead in at the end of this bk into Deck's story, not sure when KA has this one planned, anytime soon is fine with me.
