The story itself was great. The preoccupation with sex deserves 0 stars, yes, a big goose egg. I know many can look past the sex, with Joanne constantly talking about guys butts, muscular bodies, the vividly pornographic scene with David caused me to have a very guarded view of the rest of the book.Note: If a pontential reader is looking for porn and wants to disguise it then this series is it. I decided to give Ms. Caine a second chance with Heat Stroke. It is worse... Ms. Caine, please leave out the sex or at least keep it to yourself and the series would be #1 best seller for a long time. Very original ideas.
