MINE TO CRAVE continues close to where the previous book of the series, Mine To Hold left off. Drake Archer has gone home to his Casino holdings in Las Vegas after the marriages of his two closest friends, Trace Weston and Noah York. These three men have fought together both in the past and more recently to save the lovers of Trace and Noah. Drake however, is an aloof man; prone to use women and toss them aside after being burned in love by a devious lover years before. He doesn't understand the love his two friends have found.

A mysterious woman named Jasmine Bennett enters Drake's casino one night, and piques his interest. After taking Jasmine to his private office for some alone time, they are interrupted by alarms going off in the casino. Drake leaves Jasmine alone in his office, where she proceeds to go through his desk and computer. When Drake discovers what Jasmine has done, he holds her until he can find out what she is looking for and who she is actually looking for. He suspects it is one of his closest business rivals, but cannot prove it until he gets the close-mouthed Jasmine to talk.

It is not long before the intrigue surrounding Jasmine turns to danger for both of them. Jasmine is being chased by both a Bounty Hunter and the FBI, and the business rival she is working for wants Jasmine gone now that she is no longer of any use to him. This rival wants Drake gone also; and goes to great lengths to try to eliminate both of them. This incenses Drake, and he vows to put the rival down like a dog and get rid of him and his threats once and for all. Even though Jasmine has continually lied to him; Drake is quickly becoming obsessed with her. He doesn't trust Jasmine, but he cannot let her go. His desire for her makes him want to keep her close at hand. Drake soon finds out that some of her deepest secrets tie in very closely with one of his best friends. As danger surrounds them, they begin to find that there might be more between them than either bargained for.

MINE TO CRAVE is the fourth installment in Cynthia Eden's popular Mine Romantic Suspense series, and continues in the same sizzling vein of its predecessors. Each story is a dark and sexy look into the lives and loves of a mysterious, dominant, and very rich man. Although part of a series, and the couples from previous books are mentioned; the stories can easily be read standalone. MINE TO CRAVE is an intriguing story, and is a recommended read for fans of edgy Romantic Suspense.
