[Ash · Rating 4 out of 5]

And yet another steamy one from Stephanie Burke. The only reason this one has a 4 and not a 5 star is that again, with most of her stories, it was too short but also felt a bit incomplete. We don't get into the history of Chan and all that he can do or what was the reason Laney wanted to be on her own so badly; I feel like there's a story there.
