First to note here I'm a major fan of all things Sandra Brown.This perhaps was not her finest hour as the protagonist, the main character, the entire plot was just not what I had hoped to receive as I know her talent that she possesses and has shown.
With that said Drex for me was obnoxious in pursuing a married woman named Talia who happened to be in a precarious and or dangerous situation with her own marriage.
In fact readers wondered if Talia was in fact an accomplice to her spouse's actions or a victim.
Connor Weston Graham has some questionable activity on his end with numerous aliases over a 30 yr span having had 8 women vanish shortly after meeting new men in their lives.
Could the next victim be his wife is the question but the answer is clouded with mystery and intrigue.
It turns out their may be an affair or two to remember here but for me the lack of a strong woman is what did me in along with the portrayal of a romp in the hay rather than a real romance with available individuals.
The end for me sealed the deal with a lackluster shine in Drex's accomplishments we shall say as he skirts around it all and tries to stay above the law.
For me it was just not the norm I'm willing to accept from a well known writer and I'm not sure if it's the pressure to turn out so many novels from publishers too quickly or what but this one missed the mark for me.
That's not to say I'd not read another as Sandra Brown is the queen of her genre.
