The perfect gradual buildup that does not disappoint! I will be looking for more from this author! Great writing, not too much unnecessary details, great action, no mixing up prone with supine, no contradicting fighting or sexing positions to break my concentration and HOT and intimate and erotic, and unforgettable sex scenes. The characters are so vivid I can see each, I can smell the smoke that is produced by the human torch and I feel that I know them all. Even though any story about aliens is about cultural diversity, this tory covers aliens, humans, mutants, rich people, poor people, the haves and havenots, the themes about self acceptance, battling against bigotry and class snobbery are timeless. The interaction between the main female and male characters is always exciting, even if predictable. I love that the author took on the subject of sex slavery and we get to see a kingpin go down in flames literally. Strong, smart, kickass female characters, wonderful men.

When a wealthy businessman is murdered in New Chicago's seediest district, the two are partnered, and there's no escaping what they both want: each other.

She is beautiful and rich, with a party-girl smile that hides a shocking vulnerability, and from the beginning his sizzling attraction to her is undeniable. But Noelle Tremain is a temptation like no other. Little wonder heโs determined to remain on his own. He is a walking weapon, capable of killing with a single brush of his fingertips. Hector Dean is shaved, tattooed, and totally ripped - and he has a deadly secret. With one caress, he can give unforgettable pleasure - or unending pain. New York Times best-selling author Gena Showalter captivates with a dark, tantalizing world of humans, otherworlders, and a powerful AIR agent consumed by his desire for a woman he can never have.
