My Book Summary : Paige is on a business trip in Japan that will last six months. However, this is the first business trip for her to really let loose at all, since she's very serious about her job, her family life, and keeping her marriage together. Even though her husband, Dalton, had his own on-going affair, a couple of years ago, they've worked thru it and are still together. Their marriage isn't any better but it can't be any worse, right? They do love each other, in their own ways, right?
Well, then way is it that when her friend and co-worker, Rosa, decides on taking her out at a few clubs she keeps running into and being drawn to Casey, or as she calls him Mr. Dimples? Casey's a man who is younger than her (which she's not use to), someone who she's willing to throw her inhibitions to the wind for, and someone she just can't say no to. However, soon she'll find out how much she really can handle when Dalton suddenly shows up on her doorstep in Japan and she finds out all the secrets EVERYONE has been keeping her in the dark about. Will she be able to handle the realization that everything and everyone is not who they seem? Will she be able to let Casey come between Dalton and her, can she choose him over her husband?
My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars... This story is nothing like I expected, as it's a dark mystery, kind of like "The Demon Lover" is only this being more of an erotica, with a deep spicy edge to it that keeps you a bit shocked and wanting more!! It was not the type of erotic romance that I typically read, especially with the scenes in Rosa's room, but I did love the chemistry between Paige and Casey!! They played off each other well and created something believable between them.
I will admit to thinking that the beginning of this book has a slow start to it but I'm glad I pulled through and finished it because it has a very big finish in the end!! I liked how Paige's revelations played out. In addition, even though Paige was freaked out about what was going on, at the end, when push came to shove she stepped up to the plate, which made me like her as the heroine even more! Also, another big character in the book is Rosa and even though she was redeemable towards the end, she was probably one of the characters I least liked. It might be because of Rosa's pushy attitude but just I could not stand her in the beginning/middle of this book.
Anyway .... the only bad thing about this book is it keeps you wondering about where Casey and Paige are going to go from here. Therefore, I hope that if/when there is another book to this series, hopefully, we'll be able to see how they are doing and what they’re up too.
Nevertheless, I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys erotic romances with paranormal twists to it!!

Book Teaser(s) :
He didn't give her time to think. Shoving her long blonde hair away from her neck and shoulders, his tongue danced across her sensitive skin and found the tender spot that sent a shiver spiraling through her body.For more information on this book, series, and/or any other books by MaryLynn, then please check out her website.
Her hand grasped at his hair, but it wasn't long enough for her to hold. Her other hand roamed across the muscles that played along his back while he moved against her. His hands were everywhere all at once. Okay, she was now convinced that he wanted her, not Rosa. A fleeting thought of wondering why he would want her crossed her mind but she forced it away. She heard him say her name gruffly. He breathed heavily against her, and then felt him nip her neck, his teeth scraping against her sensitive skin. ~ within Chapter 2
