Having loved Khloe and Ryder in Black Light Valentine's Roulette, I really wanted to know what happened next. We know, because of his job, that Ryder had to walk away but would this super hot couple get a second chance?
Ryder's on leave from his super spy job when he hears that Khloe has been threatened. I loved how uber dominant and take charge Ryder is, but at times it made Khloe seem a little weak and wishy-washy. She never really got to stand up to him and whilst I know it was partly the dynamics of their relationship, at times it felt controlling in an overriding her wishes way. He also brought their sex/play life into her work life and that was very much a 'no' for me.
This was more than made up for, however, by their amazing chemistry and the romantic suspense element. There were a few very intense BDSM scenes but not as many as I had expected with this being a Black Light novel. That's not to say that the steam level isn't high because it is. However, by having 'tamer' sex scenes it keeps the struggle for a relationship, given the threats to their lives, at the forefront of the story.
I'm not sure if I love or hate Ms Grant for that epilogue. On one hand it didn't leave time for me to bask in their love before a new problem was introduce. On a positive it does mean more time with Khloe and Ryder - yay!
