Bella Bayne knows how to get a job done, but leading the
Edge, her military trained mercenary company, has put her
personal life way back on the back burners. Though, to be
honest, she would love nothing more than to knock off a few
ROUGH EDGES with handsome Victor Temple. Unfortunately, she
is his superior and because of her "no fraternizing" rule,
he is off limits.
Victor is on loan to Bella so he must abide by her rules,
despite his instincts that she is what he
wants. They have the same goals but working together is
getting harder than he expected. He has always been in
charge of his libido, until Bella.
What makes it harder is they have a solid lead on Dr. Norma
Stynger, the twisted mind behind Project Threshold -- an
evil that had touched Bella as a young girl. Finally they
will be able to bring justice to the nutcase. There is a
major problem: Bella hasn't quite been herself. Some of
her past is affecting her, causing her to act out of
character. Has this all been too much for Bella? Will
Victor lose her before he can make her believe in love?
ROUGH EDGES is an amazing, captivating read. The action is
intense, the characters realistic, and of course the sex is
steamy. There are a number of things happening, with one of
Bella's men in the hands of the mad doctor, the doctor's
daughter, the team members -- even the ones that Bella no
longer trusts -- all have their moments. It is all perfectly
timed with very little underdeveloped or slow moments.
I have to admit that though I have read other offerings by
author Shannon K. Butcher this is the first of the Edge
series I have gotten my hands on. I will be picking up the
other books as quickly as I can. ROUGH EDGES has an alpha
male lead, with a strong woman standing up to him, for
herself, and for him, with action, steamy sex and heart
touching love. What more can a reader ask for?
