Night Owl Romance www.NightOwlRomance.com on 6/29/2010, said: Reviewed by: Maria This story is an excellent combination of Sci-Fi/Fantasy and Erotica. The characters drew me into their world and I didn’t want to put this book down. The erotic elements were very well done and I felt the need for a cold drink several times while reading this book which is taking place during the year 2253. Lilly D’Angelo is part human and part alien, she has spent her adult life dealing with the difficulty of her alien half. Lilly’s partial non-human ancestry gives her a specific talent in that she can manipulate male hormones and drive men to frantic sexual need. She is not comfortable with her talent but events in her past on Earth have left her with no choice but to use whatever she can to earn a living as a bounty hunter. She uses her powers to place her “targets” in a sexual fog so that they don’t notice that she has apprehended them until after she gets them in a prison cell. She’s currently on Garralon Five chasing after a criminal with a hefty bounty that will enable her to live comfortably for about six months. Her heart’s desire is to find a man who can resist her alien powers and who will love her for herself. Dallas Sawyer is a human agent working for QAL, the Nebula Galaxy’s version of the FBI. He’s been working for them for five years and is carrying some heavy emotional baggage from an operation that went down wrong. Dallas is also carrying some mechanical blood from a transfusion that he had to have due to the mission that was a failure. His current assignment is on Garralon Five where he plans to catch a master criminal that QAL has been after for more than 2 years. Dallas is determined that nothing will get in the way of his mission’s success and the only person that he really trusts is his alien partner, Thaegan. Circumstances have both Lilly and Dallas after the same criminal and in the bar that he is said to frequent at the same time; it’s a dry run for their separate plans. They are instantly attracted to each other but Lilly questions whether the attraction is genuine or if it is caused by her alien powers. Dallas is unaware of Lilly’s true nature and in reality is just attracted to her; something in his nature makes him able to resist her alien powers. When Lilly attempts to apprehend her target, both Dallas and Thaegan get involved not realizing what is really taking place. The assassin manages to flea and Dallas and Thaegan take Lilly into custody. This leads to them being in close physical quarters and it is then that Thaegan recognizes Lilly’s alien nature, which leads to some very interesting interaction between all three of them. The question then becomes can Dallas and Thaegan trust Lilly enough to make her a silent part of their plan to take down the assassin and will their threesome have a happy ending? The action is almost non-stop in this book and the emotions that the characters are experiencing come across as genuine and heartfelt. I understood Lilly’s desire to be loved for herself and not for the physiological effects that she could force on a man. I also understood Dallas’s disenchantment with a job that he had undertaken with high ideals and with the loneliness that all law enforcement officers seem to experience at some time or another during their career. Thaegan was a great alien and a true “brother in arms” to Dallas. I am really looking forward to reading more of Ms. Pierce’s work.   (0 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) 2.

The characters were so unlikeable that I read 3/4 of the book then deleted.   (0 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) 4. Donna on 6/11/2010, said: If you love suspense this is a must read. Nina keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end. The love scenes between Dallas and Lilly are hot and sweet. Watching, Lilly, an experience seductress learn about love is heartwarming, while seeing her win over the cantacorous and grouchy Thaegan is humorous as well as hot when the menage comes together. Dallas, the tough-loving, peace keeper of the three fights hard against their undeniable bond. You'll love him. Make sure you have time to read in one sitting, it's hard to put down. Hope we see this develop into series   (0 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) 5. Juliet on 6/11/2010, said: Hot and steamy sex and suspense. Lilly is a kick ass heroine who can control any man except Dallas. Dallas is the first man to desire Lilly for herself, no her powers. When they mix in his partner Thaegan the chemistry is explosive. Nina delivers another page turner with compelling characters and a complex plot. Great read   (0 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) 6. Bobbie on 6/9/2010, said: While the storyline is good, it wasn't completed to it's potential. The heroine was a little weak and had a poor me syndrome. The explanation of her use of 'magic' wasn't satisfactory in the point it was almost like rape. As for the two men, one was involved but the other? The sex scenes were few with alot of over descriptions on everything else. A few times I found myself pulled out of the story cringing. The end was a little abrupt. Overall, the story was good but could be better.   (2 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) Showing comments 1-6 of 6
