  hindsight
  
  This book was too dark for my taste, although I have bought and kept previous works. I confess I wasn't particularly interested in getting to know Tam better (her character and previous taste in men leaving a great deal to be desired). I should have gone with my instinct.
  
  The author has stated that she needed a suitably dark male character to match with Tam and she definitely succeeded in that aim. My main problem with the book is the rape scene (date rape drug) and the recording of it and the subsequent quick forgiveness by Tam. This is not a crime that I can accept being committed by any lead male, no matter the circumstance, and the lead female should not have accepted this betrayal after she had made herself emotionally vulnerable. I also found her repeated 'about-turn' reactions towards the end of the book quite irritating.
  
  The book still maintains the intense writing style of the previous books in the series but without the charm of the likeable lead male characters.
  
  Not a keeper

  Val & Tamara are truly matched!!
  
  I'm a big fan of Ms.McKenna,so I wouldn't miss this as I always be captivated with her previous books.
  So glad that finally Tamara could finally found her match!someone who is strong,brave,sweet and tender enough for her also intellegent enough to enter her prickly fortress,someone who is also handsome,sexy plus always smell good(lol)he's dangerous,sinister,lethal and yet very gentle and kind.
  I like val's character,even his past was dark,and his childhood was full of cruelty.this Book is so much darker than ms.mcKenna's previous books,and yet the most thrilling one,I've been anticipated "Ultimate weapon"for so long,and wondering..so glad that I finally got it!
  I wish I could read a glimpse of Continuing love of Val and Tam's story in the next Mysterious Kevin mcCloud's book(hardly could wait)..wondering about If Rachel could have her new brother and sister also about sveti & josh or maybe Cindy and miles!

  My least favorite of this series
  
  I didn't like the heroine in this story.. so it made it hard to really care what happened.
  The writing is good, but I guess I prefer the less tough heroines... just my preference.
  Recommendation: Skip it.. don't waste your time.

  Best Book I've read in the last 50 I've bought
  
  I read at minimum 3 books a week in the winter months. This book had a great blot, wonderful chemistry, and a strong female personality who could take care of business. I have gotten other Shannon Mckenna books from the library and just couldn't get into the characters. I suggest you give this one a read.

  Great book
  
  I had hesitated starting this book, unsure how Tamara would get her hea. Once I started reading, I completed the book in one sitting. I was particularly impressed with the way the author dealt with the issues of trauma, no easy fixes especially with Rachel, and I found the relationship development between Val and Tamara beautifully realised.
  There were the standard Shannon McKenna over the top evil bad guys, and it was great to see characters from previous books. This book still had moments of great humour, especially with Tamara dealing with a small child, but the beauty of this book was the hope, redemption and love.
