HIS MISSION WAS TO DESTROY HER.
BUT DESIRE GOT IN THE WAY.
A product of genetic manipulation, Melanie Milan shares a body with her malevolent sister, Phoebe. A sleek, blond predator with a heart of pure darkness, Phoebe puts their body through the wicked underbelly of sex for thrills—when she’s not igniting her pyrokinetic skills for an evil organization bent on taking over the world. Melanie rarely gets out to play—much less fall in love. But that changes when rival ACRO agent Stryker Wills shows up, with a mission to terminate the woman who torched his partner.
An operative with rare abilities, Stryker soon realizes that the woman he’s about to kill isn’t the murderous fire starter he’s been hunting. But he does want her. Melanie, with the power to ice anything in her path, is heating things up in ways that are setting fire to his blood. As long as Melanie stays in control, she is his best ally to bring down her sister and stop hellish havoc from being unleashed. Walking a tightrope of longing and hate, Stryker and Melanie begin to understand that true power lies in sweet surrender to each other, to the flames between them, to the erotic adventure that’s joined their hearts and abilities to become their salvation—and perhaps the world’s.
What a great ending to a remarkable series!
When I first read Riding the Storm, I was shocked -- in a good way -- about the erotic nature of the story. It wasn't what I'd expected at all. But it was so. Very. Good.
As this series progressed, we're introduced to more characters within the ACRO world, characters I came to care deeply about. That Taken by Fire brings them back, at least those connected with the original trilogy, is a nice way to round out the series.
But, boy, were there some tense moments. Ms. Croft isn't pulling any punches in this finale, and the angst and action is at a fever pitch. The ending is worth those few fingernail biting instances, though. A great series from beginning to end.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
