[Elizabeth · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dr. Sophie Gable wasn’t expecting her peaceful getaway to be shattered by the arrival of a half-dazed, dead-sexy guest. Thomas Nicasio has obviously been traumatized, and Sophie thinks she knows why. There’s something about his past that he can’t—or won’t—remember. Something that could get them killed. Most women would run from a man like Thomas. Not Sophie—even when she knows she’s playing with dynamite. They flirt a bit at work as they share office space but has now showed up at her front porch cottage by the water while on her vacations. He is dazed, hurt and can't remember what has happened.

She can’t resist his electrifying seduction. She doesn’t want to control her willing submission to him. And she knows she never should have taken it this far. Because now it’s too late. Thomas’s past is closing in on them. And as danger and desire collide, Sophie knows that his next touch could consume her—if it doesn’t kill her first.

Spicey scenes between the characters in this book with good action was not a bad read I actually enjoyed this book more that I thought do to this book not being found in a lot of online sights.

SHORT SUMMARY:

The brown-eyed blonde, classy, smart thirty-something Dr. Sophie Gable practices internal medicine in Chicago. She knows the 6'4" dark haired, green-eyed, thirty-something hunk, investment advisor (and ex-Navy demolitions bomb expert) Thomas Nicasio, only in passing since he has offices in the same high rise as Sophie. Sophie's seen Thomas in the lobby of her medical practice, waiting for his brother Rick, who's a well known investigative reporter. Rick has been seeing a psychologist collogue of Sophie's since he's uncovered some disturbing information about his father (and Thomas's adoptive father). When the story opens, Rick and his 10 year-old son have just died a week before in a suspicious boating accident. Thomas's adoptive father, the man who took him in as a child when his own parents were brutally murdered, is being investigated by the FBI for federal crimes and there's rumors that he's the head of a Chicago crime known as the "Outfit". Thomas is devastated, and shows up at Sophie's vacation lakeside cottage, clearly traumatized and on edge. How did he get there? How did he know where Sophie was? And why go to Sophie, a woman who he was attracted to, but hardly knew except to say hello? Sophie suspects amnesia due to shock....


Sophie is shocked to see Thomas on her doorstep, looking very stressed and in shock and with a sexual intensity she's never witnessed before. She knows he's not himself, and wonders if he's been injured or if it's just the result of him being in shock over his brother's and nephew's death. She wants to help any way she can--clearly Thomas needs her for something (sexy time because that when his head feels clear)

Yes, he's very troubled, and he's suffering from some kind of traumatic amnesia--there's something his mind just refuses to accept--does it have something to do with his father being investigated by the FBI? It's going to take all your doctoring skills and all you sexual skills Sophie to get to the bottom of this and to help ticking-time-bomb Thomas before he explodes. And you'd better guard your heart--once Thomas works this out, and is done using you for his comfort--will he still need you anymore? And, will being with Thomas when he's in this state of mind put your own life in jeopardy?
