This was such a good book I don't know where to start. First, there's Rey. I liked her unusual occupation, and for the most part, she's an excellent heroine. I didn't appreciate Rey's agent implying that she needed to have a "personal relationship" so she could get revitalize her art. Other than that, though, I thought Rey was a strong character. She's a woman who can take care of herself, as she shows a few times in the story.
I loved Marco. I'm no expert, but I thought Donovan did a great job of creating a Cuban-American hero and of making his heritage very much a part of him. It was such a treat to watch him fall for Rey. When he realizes his feelings for her are serious, he doesn't try to hide it from her or himself.
As for that "intense lovemaking"--well, that's definitely accurate. I would say there's more sex than in the typical Blaze, but it's incorporated well into the story and didn't seem superfluous.
I also liked the way Marco's secret was handled. Readers learn about it early in the story, but he doesn't reveal it to Rey until much later. It was nice to see Marco realize that the time had come to tell her rather than waiting for circumstances to reveal it for him.
I thought this was a fresh contribution to the Harlequin Blaze line.

งานเล่มแรกของเธอกับเบลซ ซึ่งเป็นเล่มแรกในชีวิตของเธอด้วยคือ Her body of work เรื่องราวของสายสืบของหน่วยงานดีอีเอ (ปราบปรามยาเสพติด) ที่หนีตายจากการตามล่าจนต้องปลอมรับสมอ้างเป็นน้องชายของตัวเองที่เป็นนาย แบบสุดฮ็อต แล้วตกกระไดพลอยโจนกลายเป็นนายแบบนู้ดให้กับนางเอกที่เป็นช่างแกะสลัก เรื่องนี้มีครบทุกรส ทั้งตื่นเต้น บรรยากาศในเรื่องที่เร่าร้อนจนควันขึ้น พระเอกนางเอกที่ถูกวางบุคลิกมาอย่างดี จนแม็กซ์ถือว่าเป็นหนังสือเล่มเล็กที่สนุกที่สุดที่ได้อ่านในปี 2005
มาเรียหายหน้าไปปีนึง ก่อนจะกลับมาด้วยงานภาคต่อ เรื่องราวของมิชิโกะ หรือเมแกน มิชิโกะ โอมัลลี่ ลูกครึ่งไอริช-ญี่ปุ่น เพื่อนของนางเอกเล่มแรก แม็กซ์ชอบหน้าปกเล่มนี้มาก ๆ นางเอกสวยสมกับที่เป็นลูกครึ่งเอเชียฝรั่ง (ดูเหมือนสุนิสา เจ๊ทต์หน่อย ๆ นะคะ) เล่มนี้ขาดความตื่นเต้นไป เพราะตัวร้ายงี่เง่ามาก แต่ความรักความสัมพันธ์ความเร่าร้อนของตัวเอกยังอยู่ครบ อาจสนุกสู้เล่มแรกไม่ได้ แต่ Herbook of pleasure ก็ไม่ถึงกับทำให้ผิดหวัง
ดังนั้นในเวลานี้ มาเรีย โดโนแวนกลายเป็นหนังสือเบลซมือหนึ่งสำหรับแม็กซ์ไปแล้วค่ะ ตอนนี้อยากอ่านเล่มยาวสักหน่อยของเธอมากค่ะ

4 1/2 Stars! ~ It's only a matter of weeks before Marco must testify against the Miami drug lord. After working 13 months undercover, Marco knows that El Lobo will do anything including harming his family to stop his testimony. After safely sending his mother on a six week honeymoon cruise, he goes to Chicago to convince his brother to take a long holiday. As luck would have it, Francisco is very happy to leave town for awhile, he has a chance at a part in a new soap opera filming in LA. Only one hitch though, if he doesn't land the part, he'll need his modelling career to fall back on, and that means he can't mess up the job he promised to take here in Chicago. Marco wants his brother out of town so he agrees to do the job. Rey has finally earned the commission that will launch her career as a serious artist. Her agent tells her that her latest work has lacked inspiration and that she'd better get her act together and put more passion into her work. She can't blow this opportunity. Marco's shocked when he discovers that Rey only paints nudes --- male nudes. Rey is pleasantly surprised when Marco bares all and proves to be just the model for the Mars sculpture that will earn her six figures. And Marco seems more than capable of providing the inspiration to bring her work to life, after all she can barely keep her hands off him. In Marco's mind there's only one draw back to this little modelling gig; he's really a DEA agent on the run and El Lobo will not rest until he wins. But a few weeks in Rey's studio, pretending to be her Roman god of war, is more temptation than he can resist.
WOW ... what a hot, sexy, sensual read. The chemistry between Marco and Rey is there right from the beginning and keeps on right to the end. While the love scenes are explicit, they are extremely well written and creative. The scene in the sauna was very erotic. Both Rey and Marco are very diverse characters, with believable pasts and lifestyles. This is not just a book with sex scenes. I very much enjoyed the story of Marco and Rey. Bravo to Ms. Donovan on her debut novel. I'm looking forward to reading more from her.
This book has been on my TBR from my Blaze subscription. I think one of the reasons it's been on the pile so long is because of the cover model for Marco. He just looked too young and didn't really appeal to me. But reading Ms. Donovan's Dear Reader letter inside the book encouraged me to look past that. I'm so very glad I did.

A lot naughtier than most romances I've read. And while the pacing is rushed, there is story enough to keep up interest.

Really love Donovan's Blazes – they really epitomise the term blaze, fo shizzle! Or sizzle, rather. What's not to love about an artist getting her hands all dirty with a hot Latino man. Phew.
