Carla Ruiz
has an I.Q. of 167. As the creator of Genesis, microscopic
robots capable of curing genetic diseases and severe injury,
one would think that this would bring her acclaim. Instead,
she loses her job at Unisis lab and winds up in imminent
danger. Some see Genesis as their destruction, and not a
miracle of science. Others, like The Black Queen, Ruler of
Suicide City, see Genesis as their salvation. The Black
Queen is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure Carla’s
safety, so she sends her strongest champions, a master
vampire and a werewolf, known as Les Deux Anges, to
protect and escort Carla (along with Genesis) to Suicide
City.
From the
moment she meets Jasper and Hunter, Carla cannot resist her
feelings and her passion. Unfortunately, being a genius has
not been a plus in the romance department. She’s convinced
that they must be totally insane to want a woman like her.
Most important, Jasper and Hunter are delusional since
everyone knows that vampires and werewolves do not exist.
Right?
Carla Ruiz
is about to be yanked out of her sterile world of facts and
numbers, and plunged into supernatural intrigue and
toe-curling times under the covers with two of the hottest
men to scorch her receptors.
Blindfold Me is cyberpunk with a splash of
Underworld except the heroine is a human scientist.
Carla’s self-confidence (outside of her abilities as a
scientist) evolves once she’s out on the road with Les
Deux Anges, but I found her insecurity irritating at
times. I’m surprised she didn’t work Jasper and Hunter’s
nerves, too. Certainly, she is a resilient woman and
proves assertive in the face of everything that happens to
her.
Tuesday
Morrigan balances Jasper and Hunter’s characters so that you
fall in love with them as much as Carla. Sometimes in
ménage stories, one character will overshadow the other.
This is not the case with Les Deux Anges. You get
your equal share and time to savor their differences, and I
must say you will be jealous that Carla gets to have every
delectable inch of this alpha pair all to her self.
This was my first time reading Ms. Morrigan’s work and the
sex scenes nearly burned out my retinas. The action and
suspense keep the story from sagging in the middle, and the
bad guys/girls never quit. Overall, Blindfold Me
kick starts Carla as the “damsel-in-distress” before
bringing in a pair of savory lovers to rev things up, and
then gunning its way to a surprise finish. |
