Damon Monroe is part of dynasty. He meets Alice who a fortune teller predicted he would find his wife and there would be outside people trying to break them up. Alice was seduced and fired by Damon and they start a relationship. Russell Monroe, father to Damon tells Alice to stay away. Then her roommate wins a vacation and she almost dies in a fire. Alice tells Damon she thinks its his dad and they fight. He does some digging and ask her for help. The characters are wonderful Damon is Hot and seems like he is a good guy. Russell was the perfect antagonist. Alice even though at times seemed naïve but she was strong and could hold her own. Strong woman, hot guy, and crappy dad, winner in my book.

A trilogy of engrossing experience. 4.5* This is a completely absorbing story in 3 books, which will hold your attention from beginning to end. Damon and Alice’s story unfolds amidst an action-packed, intriguing, corporate, back-stubbing, sexual energy-filled storyline. It is three full-length novels that will keep you busy for a while but the language, dialogues and character descriptions will make up for the journey it takes to get to the epilogue. Cynthia tells this story from Alice’s stand-point which is interesting but perhaps knowing Damon’s inner motivations would have been helpful to appreciate the character more. He is an egotistical, control-freak, who needs servitude from others to feed his desire for feeling important amidst his sub-ordinates. In spite of these traits, Damon doesn’t come across as a hateful, negative character, but a flawed one. Alice surrenders her personality and identity, to a point where even she questions who she is. Her safety is threatened, yet she goes on. To carry on with something even though you are afraid is brave. This is a no-holds-barred type of sexually explicit story, which is dealing with, strong, tough, sensitive subject matters most people would shy back from addressing. However, introducing highly incompetent OBGYNs, was improbable. There is a certain degree of honesty and daring in Cynthia’s writing which holds the reader’s interest. I would highly recommend these books which are thankfully in one package, without having to worry about missing the next instalments.

This is the second series I’ve read by Cynthia Dane but sure won’t be the last! Even though this is lengthy, 3 full books in one, it pulls you into the story right away, adding exciting, surprising twists and turns to keep the reader engaged. Derek and Alice’s story is hot, steamy, intense, and so well written. These characters are so compelling, this book was hard to put down. The best part right now it is free with your subscription to KU. I highly recommend this trilogy.
