The funny thing about these books is now I'm really getting into the characters.... I really want to know what's the author is going to do with the story line. Now that part isn't the funny part.... for me it's the sex in the book. That is the true common denominator in these stories and for me I'd like to see a change in the theme..... (snore). How many level 3's can a girl want to read about. Katarina d'Arnal is a medic and moved to the slums to work in the free clinic. She ends up working with the job of inoculating Shareem. The first one is Calder, and he is not very corporate with Katarina. When it comes time for Calder's appointment with her, he refuses to bare an inch of skin to her for the exam. Instead he gives himself the inoculations and leaves with Katarina stunned in disbelief. Calder terribly burned years ago in DNAmo and scarred all over.Now hides himself from everyone. Even though he hideous, women want him because Calder can give them their darkest fantasies with the Beast.Katarina is tricked into visiting his lair and Calder takes the opportunity to show her the beast. But Katarina looks at Calder, she doesn't see the beast. She sees the man behind the mask, the scarring and pain. Calder tries to block her from seeing him by being the beast but it doesn't it stop her from seeing the real him underneath it all. Calder was deliciously hot and sweet filled with pain but came out with a great ending these two. I really love this series.
