What could be wrong with this story?  Almost nothing, except that it could be a little too breathtaking.  There is a lot of action and the plot just seems to carry the reader along and take her for a helter-skelter of a ride.  Stephanie Bond has mingled humor, suspense and romance to make this story a keeper.  A myriad of characters abound to keep the reader on her toes.  Gloria is a little klutsy, especially around Zane, but who can blame her when his presence sends little electrical bolts through her body.  The sexual tension gets wound real tight and the love scenes are both very sensual and very satisfying.  This reviewer enjoyed the ride very much, even though at times  it left her breathless too! This reviewer would happily read more of Ms. Bond’s books if this is a sample of her writing.  Very enjoyable indeed!
