Dominici Serafino is working on a sting
and trying to see just who will make contact with him.
Dominici is a dragon shifter and part of a Dept. 57 task
force. They are hoping to have contact made from a member
of the PHR (Perfect Human Race) and if things go as Dominici
plans, the team will be able to bring down another cell.
Hmm, there is one sexy redhead making her way towards him –
contact? This afternoon might be very hot in more than just
the temperature.
Nicole Cipriani is a reporter and due
to a scandal, she has been demoted to gossip magazine level.
However, Nicole still believes you can be a good reporter
and still have strong morals. She has been given the task
of approaching Dominici to see if she can gain any scoops
from him on the famous people he rents to. Nicole knows she
might be in trouble when Dominici is much sexier in person
than in any of his pictures. Sun, bikinis and redheads are
not the best match and Nicole has underestimated the effects
but it’s Dominici to the rescue.
Dominici knows about the scandal that
Nicole was accused of and as he talks with her he wonders if
she is what she seems or a successful plant by the PHR. The
passion between them seems genuine but Dominici is use to
believing the worse. So, every time there is a question
about Nicole or her actions, Dominici leans towards the
unfavorable answer. When Nicole is kidnapped and hurt,
Dominici knows he has waited too long to truly trust her and
will do anything and everything in his power to have Nicole
by his side forever.
A gossip reporter with morals and a dragon shifter use to
seeing the worse of everyone leads to an uneasy romance. In
Crystal Captive Dominici discovers that
sometimes you can believe what you see. Nicole has learned
that the non-statements can hurt you worse than flat out
lies. Dominici is pessimistic when it comes to humans and
love. Nicole and Dominici connected right from their first
meeting and I was very happy to think the Dominici finally
found his mate. Then as the story unfolded, there were
several times that he made me want to knock his head into a
wall. Love makes the world go round, but if you don’t have
trust it can crumble in your fingers. Happily, Nicole never
gave up on Dominici and the final chapter showed me just how
deeply he really did love her. Crystal Captive
will have you shaking your head in several places, but
extremely happy for both characters as you finish the last
page. |
