For His Eyes Only

What I liked....

– Same fabulous writing I've come to expect from Miz Blake.
– I ADORE the comradery of the McKay-Taggart group.
– Loved that this one was set in the London offices.
– Loved seeing Damon and the “lost boys.”
– Anything Ian and Charlotte is ALWAYS a bonus.
– LOVED Ezra...that man needs a book ASAP.
– The mystery and suspense concerning Hayley keep me turning the pages.
– Can't WAIT for Brody's story.



What I didn't like...

– This one felt LONG. It literally took me 6 hours STRAIGHT to read this one!
– Didn't feel the connection between Nick and Hayley (I will explain in my next point.)
– WAY TOO MUCH Des...I am not usually one to have a problem with dead exes AT ALL, but Des's shadow hung over this one like a suffocating cloak. It was DES this and DES that. And “I loved Des” but she was toxic. DES...DES...DES...ad nauseum.
– I had a hard time warming up to Nick. I was SO looking forward to this hot Russian Dom, but he came off a bit like a wimp to me. This is a man who had a fight with Des...they break up...he then sleeps with Hayley (taking her virginity.) Des shows up...apologies...gives him some info he wants for revenge and he basically goes back into the hotel room and dumps Hayley and goes back to fucking Des. Leaving Hayley in the dust.
– I felt Hayley was second best to Des through the WHOLE damn book. Des had been dead for over two years and Nick never once went to look up Hayley. Had she not went to him for help because someone was trying to kill her Nick would still be wallowing over how he lost the woman he loved.
– I also not sure what is going on but the last few books the sex scenes and BDSM seem to have taken a backseat to the suspense in this series. Because of that I find myself not connecting to the couples like I did in the earlier books. The Dom/sub relationship was such an intricate part of the earlier books and I have really been missing that.

So as you can see this one was a bit of a mixed bag for me. Everything apart from the actual relationship between Nick and Hayley I enjoyed. I just wished Miz Blake would have used a lighter hand with the dead ex-stuff.
