Farrah Langley and Xavier Kane have mutual friends. In fact, they met at the wedding of Donovan Steele and Natalie Ford. But it was supposed to be a hit-it-and-quit-it affair, not the long-term torrid relationship their union has become. Farrah, realizing she's getting in deeper than either of them wants, calls it quits. But quitting might not be so easy.

Brenda Jackson has written so many romances with such a huge and intertwined cast of characters that it's sometimes hard to keep up. I guess that's why the first few chapters of her romances sometimes seem a little too laden with back story, probably necessary to ground new readers in her vast story-world. However, each and every one of her couples is memorable as are her supporting characters. That's why it's always a treat to revisit a pair as hot and bothered as Farrah and Xavier.

Jackson is at the top of her game when it comes to writing hot and heavy love scenes wherein the emotion and the sex get equal billing.

Xavier is one of the six men (all sworn bachelors) who are godbrothers because their fathers were best friends in college. After Donovan's marriage, Xavier has no intention of falling. But Farrah does things to him, makes him want things he never thought he would want. So there were five bachelors...and now there are four.

BACHELOR UNLEASHED is another Jackson winner. I can't wait to see which of the remaining godbrothers will be next.
