Rory Chappel is a nomad. She moves from city to city, working as a bartender, but not making any real connections with anyone. That changes when she lands in San Francisco. Not only does she meet a great group of women at her apartment complex, but that's where she meets Gideon Carpenter. To Rory, Gideon seems too good to be true. He's attentive & attractive among other things. Rory is used to being on her own, so having so many people care about what happens to her in such a short amount of time throws her off her game. She usually only stays in a city for a few months, then she moves on. She's not exactly running from anything, she just moves when the urge strikes. It's not going to be so easy to leave San Francisco. So she starts wondering if she should plant some roots.
Gideon Carpenter is a GhostWalker. Before that, he was an abused child that grew up in a violent household. There are decisions that Gideon made in his life that he regrets to this day. When he first hears Rory's laughter, he knows he has to find her. When he does find her, she takes his breath away. Rory doesn't put off the vibe that most GhostWalkers do, but he's certain that she is a GhostWalker. That would be the only thing that would explain the instant & irresistible attraction he has to her. Then he goes and fucks everything up by telling his team her secrets. It wasn't that he wanted to tell them, but above all, Gideon is a protector.
This book was unlike any Christine Feehan book that I've read in the past. This book was based more on emotion than sex. I don't think the sex actually happened until about 90% into the book. I was okay with that because at times, Christine Feehan overdoes it with the physical. Honestly, I'm still a little confused about the plot. There was a whole suspense aspect that was weird. Like it didn't fit into what I'm used to in a GhostWalker novel. Although, that might have ended up being a good thing. This is one of the few series that I still read by Christine Feehan & I plan on continuing with it. It's interesting & hot. This world that she has created is pretty amazing.
Rating: 4 out of 5.
