A great and intriguing read, and should be classified as "romance/suspense." The characters are well drawn, the language clean and less florid than that of most Romance novels. I found the plot twisty and unusual and a surprise right to the end. To readers who like their stories sweet, I say, beware! This is not sweet in the least - Desire Me Only is hard edged, gritty, and very, very erotic. After reading it, I turned to Ms. Devine's earlier novels and was disappointed. Though her earlier novels are well written, the plots and characters are typical. In this story, the heroine is older, mature, and sure of herself - a refreshing change from the more insipid ingenues that populate many such novels. This is a break away book for the author in style and content. I encourage her to continue in this direction and eagerly await the next book.
