Zoë has been on a mission to eliminate Raul Marck ever since he set the homes of her family on fire and forced them out to be a snack for the zombie-like gangas.  She has made a life for herself, living in solitude, bidding her time until she gets her chance to avenge her family.

Zoë and Quent have had a natural attraction to one another, but she is too flighty to settle down with the sexy Quent.  But when the opportunity arises for them to work together to achieve the vengeance they so desperately crave, Quent jumps at the chance, and there is no turning back!

I have really enjoyed Quent and Zoë since their first encounter and quick hard romp together!  And, this was a book I was anxious to read, just to see where this couple could go.  And, I wasn’t disappointed!  I love the heat between them and they both have their moments of sweetness as well, even if they don’t show it in conventional ways.  And, I love how Zoë can make her nickname for Quent, Genius, be an endearment and an insult at the same time!

After the initial heat of their booty calls, started wearing off I did find the book to be a bit dull for a while.  But let me tell you when the action picks up, it grabs you and doesn’t let go!  And, the ending of this book had me all gooey inside and wanting more!  I hope we will still get to see glimpses of this scorching couple in the future books even though ‘their book’ is done.

Oh and Ware is so smart naming her kick-butt heroine the same name that I gave my youngest daughter:)  I can’t wait to see what else she has in store for us!
