My Review:

This is the third book in the Club Inferno series and it is the one that I most eagerly anticipated. At first, I was not connecting with Colleen and found her to be a bit chilly. But, I think that was the author's intention, she wasn’t supposed to be likable right away not until she showed her vulnerabilities. Those vulnerabilities came busting through when Chase pushed his way back into her life and her heart. There were some moments when I loved Chase and then others when I wanted to paddle his behind myself. I thought the BDSM scenes were mostly well written. A couple seemed a little cheesy because it was a little hard to believe Chase an ex-football player as a submissive. I think it began to work once I started getting that he was willing to give her control to please her because he loved her that much, and sometimes he was the one to take control. I wouldn’t consider their relationship a strict D/s relationship just that he didn’t mine taking the submissive role in the bedroom if it meant they could be together. Their chemistry was so strong for me that I felt it worked. I loved those public displays of affection. This couple had a lot of baggage ten years, separated, they had to get to know each other all over again and those moments were sweet, tender and sexy. By the end, I was rooting for this couple to get their happily ever after. It is a very good addition to this sensual erotic series, definitely recommend. You do not have to read the other books in the series to understand this one, but I recommend the whole series.

Lori Winslow (real name is Taylor – but everyone calls him Lori) is an undercover narcotics deputy for the San Diego County Sheriff. He is deeply undercover – working to bring down a major drug syndicate, so only his boss and the Sheriff know what he is doing. His father is fairly wealthy, but he shuns most of it and their relationship is almost non-existent. He works undercover with an alias – Adrian Martin – so that there is no blurring of the lines between work and his real life.
He meets Dr. Leigh Matthews – who is the Director of Emergency medicine at the local hospital; fairly high ranking job for a blonde female – when he gets his ribs broken in an arrest. She agrees to go out with him after he remains persistent and because of how busy each is, their relationship seems to work. Their relationship comes in comfortable – she is not clingy and is able to accept that Lori disappears from view for weeks at a time.
The book goes back and forth between them – things get a little dicey when Lori gets close to taking down the drug cartel – lots of things happen (not all so nice) but love wins out in the end.
