Was muttering to myself outloud by then, so thought I had better put it down for a while. What about physically? I am sure I will get back to the book eventually, just had a couple romances pushing my occasionally militant feminist buttons lately and the much anticipated Singh pushing them made me throw a tanty.

I think Mercy shows her strength more as the story progresses, and she does challenge Riley's assumption that he can make decisions for her. Also, I wouldn't give up until you at least meet the two Portuguese cats. Rawr!</p> Edie, where are you up to in the book?

But I am in trouble already with it.. I tripped over comments about not being able to accept a submissive weak male, so does that make all the previous submissive female heroines weak? And Riley overpowered her too easily.. she is a freakin sentinel and he is same level, yet he overpowered her in seconds? Is all the book like that? Is it going to be the first Nalini Singh I throw against the wall? Help me here I am struggling! *pout* I just started this today, have been saving it and saving it..

Cindy – Looking forward to the buddy review! I’ve volunteered to write the cheat sheets for this series, but OMG it’s taking me a while.

I think this book has beat out all the others.  I don't normally like books that start off with sex but it was such a nice change from her previous books where the sex scenes might come very late in the story. And agreed about Hawke and Sienna (if they don't end up together I might just break!).  I guess you and I are feeling the 'yearning' between these two.  Damn, it's painful! Glad you liked this one too.  I do find the politics to be almost too involved in that I have to pay super attention to things or try to remember who exactly the person is.  I now have Nikita and Kaleb down and I remember Henry and his wife but others who zip in and out make me pause and wonder 'have I met this person before?' I didn't finish the Clay/Tally book (I didn't make it to a sex scene because wow, how they spun around each other so I didn't know who Dev Santos was/is so the preview for the next book left me wondering who everyone was.  I might just save that one till the new year, closer to the next release date as long as I can stay as spoiler free as possible.
