Customer Reviews

Great story, well developed characters, good sex

Gosh, I couldn't put this book down and I've been thinking and/or fantasizing about its characters. Besides the great story (which I have found in other books as well) and the round characters (which I have also found in books before) I think Ms. Hoffman does a geat job describing the deviant sex urges of her characters without judging them for it and then giving very probable cause for them to turn towards less restrictive relationships. And so it's her blend of story, characters and sex that I greatly enjoy. I wish she had already published more than two books. But I think we're in for a new one soon.

Just... REALLY Good!

Granted, this book has some very adult themes that aren't suitable for anyone under...well... let's just say it has graphic everything. Still, the writing is great, and the story line is fast paced and fun. I wasn't bored for a minute reading this book, and as someone once said, you'll never cheer so much for the bad boys! The women are really strong and smart, also, which is great that they aren't fawning over all the drool-worthy guys in this book. Alexei might make you want to kill him, but you can't deny he's a genuine Russian hottie, for instance. This is a must-read book, and the author has a wonderful style. I'm definately looking forward to more stuff from her in the future.

Oh Boy...

This book, to put it kindly, is extremely sick and dirty at the least. Think of the worst torture and the sickest forms of fornication- most likely, you'll find them in here. However, the book is so good! The writing is really excellent- descriptive and clear. The characters are all very well fleshed out (with maybe the exception of Donovan, whom I didn't really like anyway- he was too good, esp. for this story!), the plot is fast-paced, and there's action and sex. All in all, it was a great contemporary pulp fiction read; a great diversion from any normal person's boring life. Well, even a normal CIA detective's life would seem boring compared to this!However, reader beware: this book is only enjoyable if you're prepared for some pretty disturbing stuff. Most of it I stomached just fine, but when it came to the torture of Lindsey, I was completely grossed out (anyone who has read this has an inkling why). There is graphic (and I mean GRAPHIC) sex and violence. There was a rape scene where the masochistic woman enjoyed it, there is a lot of people getting shot up by the other secret agents, and there are tons of liasons. Still interested? Before buying this book, I would definately recommend that you read the back cover of it, if you can. It basically tells you just what kind of a ride you're in for. Still, if you can overlook the sex, violence, drugs, and profanity so overused it becomes bland, or perhaps even enjoy all these elements, then have at this book! It really is very well written and fun to read.

Intelligent, fast, sexy, & action-packed!

Sick and twisted characters you can't help but love.. or want to be!? I never rooted so hard for the "bad" guys before!
