NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!!! Why is there no resolve in this book? Why are you being so cruel?

Lucian is grieving. His innocent brother just got killed as a casualty of a war he had no part in. He is smart enough to know that he is far too powerful to let his emotions free reign. If in normal circumpstances he can be a very dangerous man, his grieving self could start a war that would be devastating for everyone involved, him included. So he decides to remove himself from the situation by flighting away and lock his pain until the only man responsible of it is found. And he knows in order to stay in check, he needs a distraction.

Yasmeen met Lucian two years ago and they shared a night that moved him more than she realises, even more than he can admit to himself. Lucian is not one to ask or to show weaknesses. What he wants he takes. So he takes (kidnaps) Yasmeen to his castle in Romania, where he expects her to give him the ownership of her body, and nothing else.

I so loved this book. After reading the previous books in the Wanted Men series, I got so intrigued by Lucian; mysterious, deadly, intelligent, dark, fascinating, controlling, hot Lucian (Am I gushing? Yes I am); that I couldn't wait to get to his story. I was afraid to leave Lucian as a hardened man in previous books to find him all mellowed by love in his book. That didn't happen at all, thank you. He was still very much a cold bastard to the point of cruelty, honest to the point of bluntness. I loved Yasmeen who was a great match to him. Despite her fragility steemed from her long fear of abandonment, she has an inner strengh that didn't let her yield that easily to Lucian, tempered by her desire to mend his pain, her weakness to have him accept her as more than a sexual plaything, and her inability to control her body when he is near.

And now here I am anxiously waiting for the following book.
