Customer Reviews

very intricately plotted

Morrell delivers yet again with his knockout which plunges the reader into a gigantic labyrinth of switchbacks as we are introduced to the characters, their lives, their countries, and their cultures. Breathless!

Hot and Sexy Biker oh my.....

I have to agree with several reviews on this. The male lead of Dallas/Grey was HOT HOT HOT but the female lead of Tess was WEAK WEAK WEAK. Dallas didn't deserve such a whiny heroine such as Tess, but Grey did.~Tess Marsh finds herself stranded and alone on a dark and deserted highway in Montana. Along comes a biker willing to give her a ride to the nearest town. She is about to go since he seems very honest and his eyes are a telltale sign. The only thing that goes wrong? When a band og bikers comes riding over the horizon. Motorcycles blazing and all in a surly mood. Quickly her savior becomes her captor as he grabs her and forces her to go with them all as his captive. What happened? Things get worse when she realizes he is taking her to a biker gang's hideout and plans on ditching her car in a lake!Dallas does not need another hassel, yet the good guy he is, he stops to offer his help to a woman from out of state, Massachusetts to be exact. Things go from sour to rotten when the gang shows up unexpected and he must play the captor to the woman, all for show. He cannot mess this up. He has been working on this for too many years, this woman is going to be a problem he does not need. Only when he starts to feel his heart engaging does he feel scared. How in the world is he going to pull this off? How is he going to keep her safe and juggle this gang in the process?Very sexy and fast paced. I loved Dallas, yet I wasn't crazy about Tess, she tended to be whiny and unreasonable. I gave this story 5 stars because I loved the tale, but wished for a different heroine. She was weak willed and clingy. I was surprised Dallas could listen to the nagging and whining for so long without getting angry! They weren't really meant for one another, but the story was excellent regardless. I just wish the biker part (the beginning) was longer, because that was the best part of the book. The second part was less exciting and Tess seemed to get worse, lol. All in all, great job Ms. Bach, I look forward to another book!Tracy Talley~@

CALLING ALL LINDA HOWARD FANS. . .

Think Linda Howard, think Judith McNaught's "Perfect", think Anne Stuart, think Cherry Adair. Stop thinking and BUY THIS BOOK. WOW! Sexy, sensual, exciting, adventure, terror, chase, hide, an alpha hero to die for, a little kinky (just a little, I think). . .this book has EVERYTHING. Whenever I can add another "can't wait for their next book" author to my list, I'm happy. This is a keeper!

Loved It

This book was full of action and suspense. I just couldn't put it down. After reading it, I went back and reread my favorite parts. The author did an outstanding job of keeping my attention and wrote a great story. I recommend it to anyone who likes books with action and a strong plot.

Yet another great book by Morrel

This book had me hooked from the start to the finish. The first day I got it I could not put it down. This book has one of the best plots in a book I have ever read. It has all the action of the other David Morrel books I've read. If you like a good confusing storyline and a lot of action this is a book for you.
