The Best of the Drake Sisters books
This one has it all. Great action, great romance, and great mystery. The action is fast and full of zest. The romance is hot and sweaty, and the mystery, which is one of Feehan's lesser abilities, is really good. I really enjoyed the book and I was glad it focused on two people and one good mystery. It did not jump around too much.

Joley is back on tour. She is still a bit worried about the reverend, RJ, but all in all the tour is going well. She is receiving hate mail and worries about a stalker. When the incidents start, Nikitin offers the services of Ilya Prakenskii. Joley is leery of her responses to Ilya and tries to keep him at a distance. But when real danger arrives she is glad to have him near.

Ilya is not what he seems. She already knows he has the gifts her family has and he has all of the gifts. He is not ready or willing to open his chamber of secrets to anyone. His life has been a very lonely one and he doesn't really know how to be with anyone. Never in his life has he even thought about a relationship. But Joley takes him apart, bit by bit, and he has found what completes him, he is not willing to let it go.

Someone seems to have it in for Joley, she can't figure why and can only think of a stalker. She has one man murdered, and he is the one she confronted about the underage girls, esspecially the one who is missing. Without her family she is closest to her band and instinctively turns to them for support during this period. However, when Ilya arrives, it is only in his presence she feels completely safe. Why, she can't figure out because she knows he is a cold blooded killer. But still he gives her a sense of safty she has only felt with her family.

I loved this book and I hope the next one will be as good.

Left a LOT to be desired
I was a little disappointed. . .This story has been building and building with tension, background and unexplored passion. But we get to the story and I found our heroine to be a little whiny and the hero not sharing a darn thing. I was hoping for more background with his story but he choose not to share with her and told he b=never would. I felt the story revolved around the second characters more than the main, which was interesting but not what I expected or even wanted. For me the lowest rated book of the series, not up to my expectations.

Yes and Somehow No
OK, I have been so eager for this book I was counting down the seconds for a year to its release. On the one hand I loved it. The love scenes were smoking hot and exactly what I was hoping for for these two (hence the 4 stars). On the other hand--and this happened with Hannah in Safe Harbor as well--Joley's character development was somehow off. Suddenly the fun loving girl was not worthy and dark with her needs but it was a shallow portrayal of this emotion by Feehan. Furthermore, it never came to true satisfying resolution as it was never that well defined to start with. And Ilya who professed to not know anything about a relationship was the one that was having it fabulously! Something was very forced about Joley, even the first few pages sounded very cliche and incredibly cheesy until Ilya came into the book. So, while he was as hot as I hoped (the "mine" thing reminded me a bit of the Dark series), Joley was not at all as cool and interesting as she was in every other Drake book. Additionally, in other books the supporting sisters were more involved, in this one, and I was REALLY hoping for a great setup for Jackson and Elle, and I just didn't feel like I got it.
