At the beginning, he and his friends seem to be on a different dimension.
Michael didn't get any less intense, but he certainly became more human to me by the end of the story. Michael was the one who helped her realize this. She is not a victim because she won't allow herself to be. She will no longer allow people with malicious intentions to make decisions for her future. By the end of the book, she's fighting her fears. I witnessed Rika's transformation from a sheltered society princess to young woman who can own up to what (and who) she wants. Each of them just begs for his own book! I am rooting for Kai's first! We find out that Michael isn't really as vengeful as he thinks he is that Will is struggling emotionally even though he appears to be more cheerful than any of the guys that Damon has become more dangerous than we think and that Kai has become stone cold inside. Readers are given the opportunity to get into the minds of the guys, which was a very good thing because otherwise, readers will only ever see them as monsters out for revenge.
On a positive note, this style became very useful as the story gets more exciting. The downside of all these alternating timelines and pov's is that my mind was all over the place, so it was a bit slow for me at the beginning. The point of view also alternates between Rika and Michael. The narration shifts from the events of that fateful night three years ago to the present. Now that they are out, they only have one goal: make her pay. Three years later they finish serving their sentence. We know the score: Erika Fane did or said something that sent Michael Crist and his friends, Damon, Will and Kai, to prison. And now every last one of her nightmares will come true.Īs always, Miss D does a great job at giving us small pieces of the story, one at a time, throughout the book. Because you see, three years ago she put a few of my high school friends in prison, and now they're out. The opportunity is too good to be true as well as the timing. The hint of danger and threat definitely added to the intensity and sex appeal of the book. There is a very thrilling and exciting story here. This isn't a sexfest (which most people would assume whenever they see the word "erotica"). Although her sexy scenes definitely lived up to expectations, there are only a few of those in this book. Speaking of erotic romance, this is Penelope Douglas' first foray into the genre. There is, though, one widely-talked about scene involving three. Hint: this is an erotic romance, remember that! *wink2!* Well, there certainly wasn't a square, there wasn't even a romantic triangle. It also confused me: so there are four guys, and only one girl.? Will there be a love triangle, a love square? The words are the stuff of thriller films, the kind that would make me cover my eyes. When I first read the synopsis for CORRUPT, it sent chills down my spine.
