Claire is more confused and uneasy about the apparent interest of her new neighbor, Sarik, than flattered. He may be the epitome of every female's desires from eight to eighty, but she knows damned well the same couldn't be said for her in relation to men. As suspicious as she is that his motives have nothing to do with a real attraction to her, though, she discovers she's completely unable to resist his allure.
Contains graphic, explicit sex and language, bondage, oral sex, forced seduction, sexual mastery, and violence.
quite 1-"money, to her way of thinking, was the root of all evil. It did unpleasant things to people, or maybe it was just that it brought out the worst in them? Unveiled the ugliness they might’ve kept hidden if their greed hadn’t made it impossible for them to hide it?" 2-“She’s just old.”
“You think being old made her a spiteful bitch? Or that she just doesn’t think it’s worthwhile to try to be nice anymore?”
I just could not get into this book at all. Sarik was just horrible through at least a third of the book and I just couldn't imagine any kind of believable redemption so I stopped reading it. No stars because I didn't finish it.
