"She reached for the china cake stand and lifted the glass dome off it. Using the cake slice she grabbed from the drawer, she portioned off a big piece, and placed it on a plate she’d readied a moment ago. With that in hand, she replaced the glass dome, grabbed a fork, and placed the dish in front of her father."

Why so many details? I don't NEED to know THIS much about how she serves CAKE! Just my opinion.

Wow oh Wow!

Okay, not only do I detest cliffhangers (and this series has them for every book)...but I hate MC's that react stupidly to every big revelation. Sascha does a lot of this. And this last one at the cliffie really bugs me.

You know, as I read this explanation of Sacha's background (and I expected more or less this precise thing), I have to wonder why people who felt that way about her mother and did what they did would have had a picture of her in their entry hall. Doesn't make much sense, does it?

"She eyed him, so gruff and braw." Braw...awesome :)

I am so so torn. On the one hand it is really refreshing to have a woman who knows what she wants and unashamedly goes after it. Have to love that sexual empowerment! At the same time, it is just so hot when the man is dominant and pushes the MC out of her comfort zone. I am missing having a bit more of the latter in this series.

“I’m not a Yankee. If anything, I’m from the South. Don’t you know your geography?” she teased.
He wafted a hand. “You’re all gun-toting nutcases.”

LMAO!

“Because I’m not ready for that conversation. That’s why...”
“Why lie about something you’re going to have to discuss at some point?”

Her avoidance of this whole thing is very irritating... Stupid avoidance too, since the lies she is telling will become clear as soon as she has the discussions later on. Bleh.

LOL!

"So you can do that weird communication thing you have with the others. I'm not sure if it's Morse Code with your eyelashes or some kind of sigils made with your pasta, but you'd better spread the communique around that this girl is back in action."

I had mentioned in an earlier review that one of the best aspects of this series is the interrelationships of the characters. I will now add that it is a refreshing change how realistically the relationships develop. That it begins with an initial attraction (albeit a very strong attraction with five different men) and slowly morphs into love is beautiful. Very well done.

What's the big deal? If the lounge worked for Katrin, why wouldn't it work for Henry Dubois?

LMAO! Okay that's hilarious. "...she studied him like a Starbucks barista trying to translate a coffee order in Klingon."

I think the author should have used "extensive" not "expansive" here when he said "Do the tests. Expansive ones." LOL
