goes horribly wrong Sydney Rye looses the trust of the leadership of Joyful

Her
good friend and trainer, Merl, warns that if she wants to be in the action

EXCERPT:
Grabbing onto the edge of the pool he began to haul himself
up. I watched his shoulders bunch, forearms tighten, and finally his biceps and
the muscles that wrapped around from the backs of his arms came into sharp
relief as his chest rose out of the water. It streamed down, following the
force of gravity, but seeming to take the most luxurious ride down his form,
before returning to the big empty pool.
I backed up giving Lenox space as his leg came up and he
hopped into a standing position, drops of water shaking off him. I felt them on
my face and bare arms. He didn't reach for a towel, just stood in front of me,
the soft drizzle joining with other lingering streams of water slipping down
his body. "I'm looking forward to working with you," he said. His
gold chain rested against his neck again, short enough that it barely brushed
his collarbone, but long enough that when he was on top of me it could fall
against his lips.
I cleared my throat. "Me too," I said. Lenox
smiled at me and I realized what all his clients were really paying for: the
acknowledgement and admiration he showered so generously on you. Beyond
companionship and pleasure lies the deep need to be accepted.
"Do you mind if I get you wet?" he asked.
I laughed. "What a rude question."
"Yes, well," he said in that delicious voice of
his, as he closed the distance between us. "I can be a very rude
boy."
MY REVIEW:
Sydney Rye and Blue are back again and off on an incredible adventure that will change the future of Joyful Justice forever.
Sydney's dealing with a lot of personal demons this time around, especially one important person from her past. And speaking of the past, Sydney spares the life of another adversary bent on destroying her, and that act of compassion may come back to haunt her.
Ms. Kimelman's writing sparkles and shines. I almost felt as if I had gone on the adventure with Sydney and Blue, and I think her characterization which was always good is even better now.
One of the major questions I had about the book concerns romance. More than one man is interested in Sydney, although I'd pick one over the other. I have to wonder if this subject too will play a part in the next book.
She's strong, brave, and determined, and better still, she's finally taking her rightful place in the society in which she lives.
Bravo, Ms. Kimelman. 5 out of 5 stars. Can't wait for the next one.
