The strength to bring about change for the betterment of the world. The courage to love one man with every fiber of their being and fight alongside him for the greater good. The essence of a Hussy isn’t in their strength of arms (though they are strong), no, it is in the ability of a woman to inspire change for the better around her while giving the warrior at her side the ride of his life.

One minute in front of her computers, the next high on a cliff surrounded by a rugged coastline and topped by a Gothic castle. Twyla MacAlister figured the waitress must have slipped something into her drink or all her virtual reality game time had finally managed to go to her head or for that matter she must be dreaming as a dead ringer for Lurch (of the famous Addams Family) urges her to enter the rather creepy castle. First captivated by a beautiful and yet anguish filled tapestry depicting a man with wings that mesmerizes her, then to a room that looks like Martha Stewart had been let loose on it, and Twyla is a bit shocked when the statue that she had been envying turns out to have a sort of real life replica who, um, glows.

Discharged from the Navy for supposedly having PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) because he showed a bit too much enthusiasm for his job then they would like, Jhett “Hammer” Ramsey had been going crazy as a civilian until he had signed on as a merc with a extremely secretive organization. After his perfect adrenalin rush of a job that allowed him to kick ass and make a boatload of money doing so turned into a nightmare, Jhett now tries to keep the memories at bay while trying to make it through the day. Though he had lived through the horrors of his captivity, his mind is never quiet as he faces the dreams and memories that plague him, and he knows he will be in hell on earth until some angel of mercy decides to put him out of his misery.

Okay, so not only is this couple endearing and yummy, but the growth of character is well done on Nicole Austin’s part, as Jhett and Twyla travel to a very dark place and gain the knowledge of past lives to find out what strength really is. I enjoyed the characterization of Twyla as she shows you that you don’t have to be petite and delicate to be beautiful and her connection with computers is one that brought me closer to her as I’m rather like that myself. I also enjoyed the interaction with the team which added a splash of humor to a fairly dramatic story that has torture and deals with male rape. This book got off to a bit of a slow start for me and I found some of the plot a bit weak in parts and though there were a few points that could have been better expanded upon, I give Nicole Austin props for writing an intriguing addition to a kick ass series. Btw, I so want Epona.
