    <body><![CDATA[This was a really interesting concept, but the writing left a lot to be desired. She's really heavy handed with her sentences; to the point where I kept had to keep myself from getting distracted from the story by her cliché word choice. If you're interested in this style of book, read Marjorie M. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48547924">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[There is Always a Price to Pay<p>  So Darius warned her when she accepted a position with his traveling  troupe. And gazing mesmerized at the merciless slash of his mouth, the  implacable resolve on his face, the soulless emptiness of his black  eyes, Tempest was afraid to ask what it was.    <p>She had always been different, apart from others. From the moment his  arms closed around her, enveloping her in a sorcerer's spell, Darius  seemed to understand her unique gifts. But did his kiss offer the love  and belonging she sought, or a danger more potent than his own  panthers?    <p>Somewhere deep inside herself, Tempest realized she knew the  answer. She had no choice but to accept the velvet stroke of his  tongue, submit to the white-hot heat piercing her skin, welcome an  erotic pleasure like no other...</p></p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was OK. It was about Darius and Rusti. I guess I like the Alpha male to take control and in my opinion Darius did not do that. I was under the impression that because he shape shifts it would be better but it's not. I still like Christine Feehan but just not this book.
