Todd has decided to go on the free agent market and tells the Mustangs he will not re-sign with the team. He is looking for something but has not yet found it. He goes to a munch and sees Brooke across the room. Since he is not looking, he will not go to Brooke, nor will she go to him. Brooke looks for two weeks to find him. When she finds him, she asks for a punishment because of her behavior. Todd decides to show her how she should behave for a Dom. He decides to draw up a contract with her for the rest of the season. But as the end of the contract nears, will he be able to let her go? Will she be able to let go?

I enjoyed this short story. It is perfect for this series. I liked Todd and Brooke. I love hearing their internal dialogue. I also like how Todd's teammates are ganging up on him to stay. I wish Todd would have talked to Doyle. Doyle could have given him so much advice.

I have read the rest of this series and loved it. I am glad this is just as good as the rest.… (mais)

Celeste is now FBI. She's on a case that brings her to the Lothario to find a bio-terrorist. Her ex, Sean who is Ryan's brother, is in charge of security and the boat while Ryan is on his honeymoon. His best friend, Drew, is also working on the ship. On the last mission they had together, they became a threesome. After the mission, Sean told Celeste to choose between them. Celeste ran. Now the day has come when she will have to choose. Can she?

I liked this story. I had a bit of trouble getting into the characters. I could not connect with these three the way I did with Ryan and Richard and their wives. Sean is dominant. He's calling the shots on security for the ship as well as what is between the three of them. Drew is laid-back. He wants an equal partner. Now Celeste has to decide whether she wants dominance or equality while searching for the bio-terrorist. The search takes a back seat to their threesome. She has an interesting way of answering the question.

I look forward to the next book when Ryan and Richard are back on board.… (mais)

Fallon turns in her resignation to Richard. He says he will accept it if she will give him one week in a personal way. She agrees. Richard sets out to win her heart not knowing he has it. He has a collar and metal rope set made for her through the 2 years they've worked together. He has her wear the collar and part of the ropes, promising more to come. They begin their week-long odessey of exploration. Can Richard show Fallon how much he loves her? Will they hurt each other more than walking away would? Can Fallon admit to her love for him?

I enjoyed this tale. It was hot! When Richard finally shows how much he loves her, Fallon has to decide whether to accept his heart or not. I did get angry with her for making assumptions and not asking about what she saw. That was unnecessary. I understood it but I was still angry about it. Richard went out of his way to show her how much he loved her. He made sure she was satisfied every time. To have had that collar and ropes made for her before knowing if she would accept it was an act of faith on his part. With his reputation he did not know if she would agree to his demands on her. He went to a lot of work to win her heart.

I look forward to the next book.… (mais)

Ryan and his best friend Richard own the Lothario, a cruise ship which specializes in erotic cruises. Because of their wealth, women had been coming on to them, so they decided to save themselves the hassle by letting the women buy cruises from them instead. Ryan stopped being thrilled by their cruising lifestyle after the first cruise, basically locking himself into his office since. This cruise, however, has him seeing Candace boarding the cruise. Something about her appeals to him and he decides to "date" her without telling her he co-owns the ship. Candace is on the cruise to get over a bad break-up. Can this work for them? Will a relationship work when one knows more about the other? Will the truth come out?

I enjoyed this book. It focuses on Ryan and Candace. While Ryan knows more about Candace than she does about Ryan, they do slowly get to know one another. Candace is shy but observant. She flourishes under Ryan's care and tutelage. When she learns the truth, she is not happy. He just reinforces her ex's behavior. Ryan is desperate, as he should be. Just as it looks like something will develop between them, he has to explain his actions. I was glad Candace was no pushover. He had to work for her.

I look forward to the rest of the series.… (mais)
