This is the second installment of the series, "Midnight Sins" being the first. First warning is that like "Midnight Sins," you don't really get a resolution since I'm guessing the big reveal will be in Crowe's story. At least in "Midnight Sins" they catch one of the bad guys. Here you don't at all so read it knowing that the book is more like a bridge from the first book to the third with a romance thrown in. The overall plot doesn't move much but more people are involved and introduced.

If you have never read Leigh, this is not a good book to start with. The writing is weak and somewhat convoluted but there are some steamy trademark Leigh scenes along with alpha hunks that will turn any woman into a damsal in distress. Not Leigh at her best at all. On top of that whoever signed off as editor to have this book published should be fired. Not only are there a lot of mistakes (names being switched, he or she mixed up's, etc...) there are paragraphs that are printed double in the story. There were enough errors I might actually consider writing St. Martin's press to complain.

I have to say I really liked Skye though. She kept me reading. She is tough and even though she finds Logan sexy she doesn't really bow down to him or let him manipulate her. Plus she really does save the day. Her back story was a little out there and kind of came out of nowhere but I am interested to see how it all ends when the big conspiracy is revealed.

Definitely not Leigh's best work but I'll finish the series. Just don't spend any real money or credits on it.
