Micah Steele is a mercenary who over the course of his job
has made a lot of enemies, including a Mexican drug lord. The drug cartel
kidnaps a girl (Callie) from Micah’s past. Callie Kirby had a rough childhood
and complex relationship with Micah. She is attracted towards him but is unable
to understand her own feelings. Micah while saving Callie from the hands of the
drug lord brings her to his mansion in Bahamas until the danger to her life is
eliminated. In a peaceful and secluded world of their own, both Micah and
Callie get second chance to act on their mutual attraction and desire towards
each other. The story is a beautiful journey where Micah and Callie realize
their love for each other.
My Thoughts
This is one of the better Diana Palmer stories from “Texan
Series”. Even though most of her stories in this series have similar story
line, the distinguishing factor in this story is the characterization of female
protagonist. Callie is not your “run-of-the-mill” insecure heroine. She has
lived a difficult childhood but instead of turning into an insecure or frail person; Callie has made a good life
for herself. She has faced rejections from everyone including Micah, the man she loved since
she was sixteen. But all these hardships have turned her into a strong individual albeit a
lonely one. Micah on the other hand is afraid to act upon his feelings for
Callie given their history.
But really seeing Callie’s calm and strong attitude while saving her from her kidnappers and then taking her away to seclusion away from her normal routine, Micah is awed by Callie. He is unable to stop himself from acting on his desire for Callie and finds himself deeply in love with her. Micah is our typical “alpha-male” hero, there was nothing distinguishing about him in the story. But he does seem to understand his haste in alienating Callie from himself in the past which had resulted in a lower self-esteem for Callie in her relationship with Micah. There are impressive instances in the story where Micah starts to understand the damage that his behavior has done for Callie and how he tries to rectify his mistakes. The only thing I could not digest in the story was that Callie was too sedated at one point that she did not realize that the erotic dream which she was having was not really a dream but Micah was actually making love with her J . I do not know if that is possible that you are too drugged to know you first lovemaking. But all in all, the author is successful in weaving a nice journey for Micah and Callie towards each other. Definitely a read when you want to have a good relaxing afternoon.
