katikatWhen a Lamborghini Diablo car pulls into the quick oil change shop on Cleveland’s west side, Tom Russell work immediately assumes this is his old lover, Wells, a beautiful, wealthy, east side snob, come back to torment him. But it’s worse.
The driver is Wells’ arrogant, obscenely rich cousin Law Castille, who invites Tom on a little subtle revenge, accompanying Law as his guest to Wells’ wedding. But dance with the devil, and there's hell to pay. Tom thinks Law is toying with him, but Law’s visit to the poor side of a rustbelt town was never about revenge. It was never about cousin Wells at all. Law has come for Tom.
Review: I loved it. Law doesn't take no for an answer, the word "impossible" isn't even in his vocabulary. He wants Tom and nothing else matters. He does what he deems necessary and his conscience doesn't plague him at all. His forceful nature scares Tom - but at the same time, he's drawn to it like a moth to the flame. He quickly realizes that Law is the dominant one in their relationship and he learns to relish in being loved and desired by a man like Law who could have anybody. The dynamics of their relationship is what makes the book so awesome. Also, Morrow's description, the way she uses words and phrases - to me, the book seemed incredibly vivid and the characters alive. I'll definitely read more books by this author.
