I loved it and can't wait for Jane Seville to write another. I loved the length, the drawn-out resolution, the reluctant connection between the two protagonists, the intensity and angst and drama and misunderstandings and pain and hurt feelings and tenderness and sacrifice and forgiveness. Because all of that is what makes an ultimate romantic connection such an amazing payoff. You all, I also love m/f romance and I am having a really hard time finding anything with the intensity of the best m/m. What's up with that? I am so over the old skool alpha rapey ways of doing things--and yet the books I loved in the late 80s/ early 90s, as full of mean heroes as they were, packed an emotional punch I am not finding these day./rant Back to the book at hand. Seville's pacing is outstanding. A romantic suspense requires plenty of slow times so the characters can connect, and she manages that while also keeping the external tension high. The characters are carefully drawn and believable, and while I'm not big on reading the continuing story of characters from romances, I really, really, really liked Jack and D--so I'll read the next book about them that she has indicated is coming. But what I'm really hoping for is another brand new story with brand new characters.
