Tempted By His Kiss

- Tracey Anne Warren -

Ugh, this one started out with so much promise since I love tortured men brought back to life by determined heroine style stories, but there was major, epic fail in the form of Too Stupid To Live behaviour from the heroine, Meg, that it ended up driving me nuts.

Cade starts off all adorable and tortured, but gets distracted by a half assed suspense plot and immediately seems to forget all his mental turmoil as he works to prove the bad guy is evil.

And Meg. Seriously, Meg? You know the bad guy is guilty of evil, evil acts including torture and MURDERING INNOCENT FEMALE BYSTANDERS, and you think it's a good idea to trot off after your super spy boyfriend to "help" instead of, I don't know, enlisting the help of any one of his multiple big strong brothers, who are all on his side? She kind of deserves the hostage situation she lands in, is what I am saying.

But no worries, cause Cade's super spy mojo is back, all trauma forgotten, and he saves the day. My eyes, they are rolling.

Disappointing because the legitimate issues between Meg and Cade could have been really compelling as they overcame their back stories and how they met to fall in love but it ended up just falling flatter than a pancake.
