Jaimela, also known as Cerveau to her fellow dancers of the
Midnight Mystery Lounge, has slowly been coming awake to
past memories, and it's driving her crazy. Crazy enough that
this Amazon wants to find out what there might be BEHIND
THE CURTAIN. What it leads her to is far more than she
expected to ever find.
Dimitri Abraxas has served the pleasure of the Goddess
Demeter and is on a quest to find Prometheus's flame. He
has searched long and hard and will not let anything or
anyone get in the way of his quest. Until he sees Jaimela
...then he wonders if perhaps he can mix pleasure with his
duty.
The Arcana Royale Casino holds magic and secrets that many
have tried to decipher and a few have managed. Dimitri
finds he must answer the Sphinx's questions and ask the
right ones to be able to find what he wants most ... but
will it be the flame or the Amazon?
The magical, mysterious and sexy world that is the Arcana
Royale Casino is brought to life in BEHIND THE CURTAIN.
This is book 5 of author Heather Long's Soul Girls
series, and as hard as that must be, I find it to be just as
fresh and new as the others. Jaimela is a strong, smart and
somewhat snarky woman who is slowly regaining her memories
and knows her mission, while Dimitri is a strong, smart and
somewhat snarky man who knows his mission. When they meet
...let the explosions begin. There isn't quite as much
romance as the other Soul Girls books, but there is
more of the mysterious Heidi and overseer Connor...giving us
more of this couple's past and some very strong hints of a
future. We also got to see more of the design and running
of the casino, and it's one you don't want to even think
about cheating or stealing ... unless you know how to dance
and want to do that for decades. I am looking forward to
Ms. Long's next book ... I cannot wait to see what Heidi is
really up to.
