I loved this book and continued to read the whole series. The way things are explained, the thought process of the characters, the development, comical parts, the impending threat, all great ingredients for a suspenseful dramatic romance. This is the book to introduce anyone into the BDSM fantasy world that should’ve gone viral. And as the two uncover a secret someone is willing to kill for, Axel is determined to claim Mystery’s heart before a murderer silences her for good.Move over and to the back Fifty Shades. But when it’s clear she’s in danger, he doesn’t hesitate to become her protector-and her lover-again. Once he realizes Mystery isn’t the stranger he thought, Axel is incensed and intrigued. Mystery steels herself to walk away-except the sheets are barely cold when her past comes back to haunt her. Disguised, she propositions him in a bar, and the night they spend together is beyond her wildest dreams. Now, six years later, Mystery is grown, with a flourishing career and a full life-but she’s still stuck on Axel.

Mystery wasn’t ready to let Axel go, even after the soldier gently turned her away because, at nineteen, she was too young. When he returned her to her Hollywood father and tabloid life, she was grateful…and a little in love. Lately I’ve been a bit jaded and feel that some of these long-running series just lose the edge, despite an author’s attempt to keep them fresh and new.Įver since he rescued her from a dangerous kidnapper, Mystery Mullins has wanted Axel Dillon. While the story has a nice plot with the requisite twists and turns to keep a reader involved, it just did not suck me in. Unfortunately, danger seems to have found Mystery again and Axel is back on the job of protector, bodyguard, and now lover as he tries to keep her safe and use his resources to get to the bottom of who’s threatening her. Determined to get what she’s always wanted, she propositions him in a bar for one night of no-holds-barred sex. It seems, however, Mystery is a submissive who’s never forgotten him, nor had a meaningful sexual relationship since his rescue. Once, Axel Dillon had walked away from Mystery Mullin, because she was too young and vulnerable for his strong dominant tendencies. What should a man do when a beautiful woman walks up to him in a bar and propositions him to a night of unbridled passion? Look at a gift horse in mouth? Or let himself be led by his other head? This story is unique with a twist of action and adventure and yet…
