No spoilers.....As this book was re-released and is a "skinny" (245 pages book), I did not expect much from it. I was pleasantly surprised. This book caught my attention and held it throughout the book. The characters also were well developed which I find rare in skinny books. Just noticed there is another book that follows this one entitled "Freedom's Price" that I now plan to buy.

I only recently found Suzanne Brockmann and can only say I highly recommend her "Troubleshooter" series. They are amazing!!! They hold a reader's interest and the depth to which she develops each character is spectacular. Just be aware, there are now fifteen in the series and are all connected and should be read in order. There are a lot of characters that emerge and develop from prior books. In fact, on Brockmann's website, she has an index of characters to help readers recall them from prior books.

Happy reading!

I would have expected a heroine less plagued by the past tormenting sexual experiences, one that knows more about the world. Serena is merely a child, although she is about 24, and she has the skills of a mistress. I found it distressing that the heroine could not enjoy pleasure, but only give, on account of 8 years of continuous "training" by her previous abusing husband.

I would have also expected the hero to be more experienced, but instead he is clearly lacking. Both characters seem to be struggling with their problems in what makes a very long plot.

I would have expected both Serena and Francis to be stronger, strong-willed characters, with more sense of the world and more cleverness.
Overall, I didn't enjoy this book because it probably lacked what the books from the "Malloren World" have: wit, adventure, passion, strong-willed characters, tension and fun. But then again, maybe I should not compare the Mallorens with the Company of Rogues...
