About this audiobook
Surveillance expert Seth Mackey knows everything about the women that his millionaire boss toys with-and tosses aside. Raine Cameron is something different. Night after night, Seth watches her on a dozen different video screens. Raine is pure temptation, but Seth has something more important to take care of first.
Seth is convinced that his boss, Victor Lazar, is responsible for his half-brother's murder. He cannot put his secret investigation at risk, but he can't stop wanting her-craving her-and soon he knows he can't let Victor have her. For Raine may be Victor's next victim...
Raine knows she's being watched-but no one can see the secrets in her heart. She has reasons of her own to seek revenge on Victor Lazar, and she will, despite her fear-and the distracting presence of Seth Mackey. Though Raine has little experience with men, she offers her body to him, surrendering totally to his ruthless desire might well push her beyond all emotional limits-and beyond fear itself.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of my first Romantic-suspense I read. Very sexy and romantic.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5To catch the murderer of his brother, Seth Mackey sets up surveillance on billionaire Victor Lazar's love nest where his new lover is safely ensconced. To his annoyance, Seth becomes helplessly obsessed with the beautiful blond, watching her far beyond the realm of decency.Raine Cameron doesn't know her every move is being observed, but she knows something about her new employer's apt makes her uneasy. Still, she's determined to stay put as she has an ulterior motive of her own- to catch the man who killed her father.Danger and intrigue collide with sizzling obsession when Seth and Raine are forced together by the enigmatic Lazar, but they soon find the lies they've told to catch a killer to be the biggest obstacle for their passion and they will have to go beyond their fears to trust the love that's burning just before their eyes.An erotic thriller, this book will push the reader to their limits as much as Seth and Raine push each others' limits. Seth is over the top alpha and I have to agree with some of the other comments made here- there was an edge to him that smacks of abusive. However he never crosses the line, and eventually the heroine gets hip to what's going on.The author does a fine job of showing the Raine's inner strength when she stops Seth's behavior in his tracks. And, his very real love for Raine is what ultimately teaches him to let go of his control to learn to trust.If you've ever wondered the appeal of the romance novel Behind Closed Doors is an excellent object example. Let's face it, no intelligent woman of today would put up with behavior like that from a lover, no matter how much of the thrill of a strong, challenging, personality may give. However, we don't read romance for reality, we read it to escape for awhile and this book delivers.If you like a strong alpha hero, it doesn't get much better than Seth.

Review:
Despite the intricate and well-paced plot, this book is not without its flaws. To begin with, the hero is completely obnoxious and domineering. While it is obvious that his rough exterior is merely a façade meant to conceal the insecurities of a man who was neglected as a boy and who has lost the only person he ever loved, I found it difficult to identify with him because this wall never comes down not even at the end when he has supposedly learned to love and trust again. The heroine, however, does grow and change throughout the story and becomes more likeable. As the tale begins, she is annoyingly naïve and a complete doormat but thankfully develops a backbone and begins standing up for herself. I liked the fact that she knew how to put the hero in his place both in and outside of the bedroom.
In terms of the secondary characters, the book has two villains – one completely diabolical and the other quite witty and charming. This is actually one of the few books in which I found myself liking the “bad guy”. Despite his machinations, he has true affection for the heroine and makes the ultimate sacrifice for her (you’ll just have to read it to find out what I mean).
The writing flows and Ms. McKenna definitely knows how to write a love scene. Nevertheless, I found that her descriptions of the various surveillance technologies and techniques were excessive; the role play scenes were irritating and the supernatural overtones out of place. The book is supposedly a romantic suspense and the paranormal aspects detract from the overall reading experience.
Overall, I enjoyed it enough to read the next book in the series, which according to all reports only get better from this point on.
