He had no choice but to erase her memory…

A decade ago, Jake Fallon’s desire for Zoe Draden caused him to lose control of his superhuman abilities, putting the rest of the Talents in danger. Tasked with the protection of the group, making Zoe forget their encounter was the only way he could guarantee her safety—and his control of himself.
This condition does not generic viagra amerikabulteni.com generally persist, and would go away with some good sleep and rest. Eight of his twenty years, he served as the San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs’ Association President; bettering work related conditions in the Sheriff’s Department, representing deputies in work related incidents, contract negotiating, levitra 10mg changing the employee status in the charter and elevating deputy sheriff’s status in the community.

His mind swipe left Zoe aware of only a small portion of her powers, which she now uses to grow vegetables for her busy café. But when her brother is kidnapped and the existence of the Talents revealed, she must ask Jake for help—even though being near him triggers panic attacks she doesn’t understand.

A BDSM club is the perfect place for Jake to manage his endless need for dominance and the underground world the Talents inhabit. When Zoe needs him, Jake must lead the charge and take on the only power greater than themselves—a superhuman army modeled after the Talents—and the one woman who can threaten his entire world.

Imagine being told for your whole life to keep a secret. And not only that, but you have no desire to share said secret, and just do whatever is necessary to keep your family intact and functioning whilst keeping all your heads down. This is what life is like for Zoe, at least to begin with. All that changes when someone walks into her café and tries to rob her.

This was a great take on Talents, and each chapter gave you something else to think about and focus on. The connection between Jake and Zoe was hot, even more so when it becomes clear just what he did to Zoe when they were younger. There are hints of BDSM in here (they are based under a BDSM club, after all) but the reasons for this all become clear. About Jake – I understand why he did what he did, but I don’t like it. As for Zoe, she is doing what she thinks needs to be done. As for whether it will work or not, well, that remains to be seen.

The writing is smooth, with plenty of steam thrown in too. There are plenty of characters here to like or loathe, and some you won’t even know which way to feel.

As you may have guessed, this book ends on a cliffhanger and will definitely leave you wanting more. This was a new-to-me author and one I will absolutely be keeping an eye out for. Plus, I need to continue with this series!! Cliffhanger, remember?!
