Elaine White's Life in Books

Okay, so this one made me love Blue a little more, since the last book had me questioning his loyalty to Derek. This one made sense of all of that. I really began to understand that what Blue was looking for with Cameron was closure, while in this book, he gets a little snuggly with Sasha, looking for someone who will push his boundaries, the way Derek isn't willing to.
That totally makes sense to me.

I love that we get both sides of the story; that we see how conflicted Blue is and Derek's struggles. I know what the whole supermarket scene is about and where that's going to lead, which is exciting, and I think if it goes well, it will make Sasha very happy, too. ;)

The ending was well done, but I had a few niggles with believability. The dungeon and bath sex scenes were a little difficult to swallow, with some run on sentences that made it hard to keep up and some movements that don't seem possible. How can they be standing in the bath, with the water around their knees? That would have to be one really deep bath. Even then, some of the movements are incredulous; the way Derek was sort of 'float' to his feet from an awkward position, while lifting an entire person off his lap in the process. The crime element was also a little incredulous, towards the end, but it's fiction, so I'm going with it.

The niggles are what take this down to 4 stars instead of 5. This one, of all the series, had the most potential for a 5 star, but it did leave me scratching my head at moments, wondering how they was possible.
Saying that, I'm really looking forward to the next two books.
