Not after reading Jake's conflicts. *g*<br /><br />Indi, wasn't that just the biggest surprise? I was taken aback and hooked at the same time! And you're so right! The sparing, sarcasm & even the humorous moments between them are quite effective in the build-up.<br /><br />As soon as I'm finished with these, I'm running to read your reviews! I'm avoiding spoilers at this time, LOL! Specially since I've become obsessed! Isn't that just like me? ;PHilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-26444889711695796662010-05-12T19:13:56.318-04:002010-05-12T19:13:56.318-04:00Their intimate scenes together caught me by surpri...<i>Their intimate scenes together caught me by surprise. I expected passion, but not the tenderness...</i><br /><br />I had a similar reaction and mentioned this as well when I reviewed this book. For me their verbal sparing was highly effective in portraying the mounting sexual and emotional tension between them, in turn increasing the anticipation of their first encounter. While I did find it erotic at the same time it was surprisingly poignant because given their individual circumstances and issues, it leaves both exposed and vulnerable, albeit in different ways.<br /><br />As you, it was this book that hooked me line and sinker on the series. I love Lanyon's measured revealing of Jake with each book.<br /><br />I'm glad you are enjoying the series. You're coming up on my favourite book in the series in respect of the mystery story, and of course more of Adrien and Jake. Looking forward to you impressions of this one.<br /><br />Indi...Indigenehttp://cboy-junkie.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-14154859072639208552010-05-12T14:27:10.861-04:002010-05-12T14:27:10.861-04:00See, and I was just hoping the two men would get i...See, and I was just hoping the two men would get in deeper! lol<br /><br />I really love this series - glad you're enjoying it as well.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320961506471746567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-60263958496018821722010-05-12T12:55:08.307-04:002010-05-12T12:55:08.307-04:00Definitely a fan here, Mariana!

I didn't mention the atmosphere or the setting in my Mini, but I loved both & thought they were perfect for the mystery & for that one-on-one time Jake & Adrien needed to take that next step. I liked Fatal Shadows, but THIS is the book that hooked me on the series... and it hooked me badly. So yes, I agree with you, great book!Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-55365600121039577522010-05-12T12:44:43.514-04:002010-05-12T12:44:43.514-04:00This often seems to be the book in the series most...This often seems to be the book in the series most people don't rate as highly, but I really like it because it takes them away from their familiar surroundings (and some of their--esp Jake's--baggage) to a certain extent.<br /><br />You are so right about Jake's "hook"! For all his rough edges, he is so tender with Adrien. Oh man, every time I read a review of the series, I want to re-read it! lolReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408227410388147148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-59361234787574213672010-05-12T11:05:54.020-04:002010-05-12T11:05:54.020-04:00Another AE fan!
