I struggled a little bit with Arizona in this one. The way she talked seemed very young and I struggled to see her as a 21-year-old woman that was supposed to seem older because of her tragic past. She was completely bad ass and capable though so it was quite the contradiction. I guess there were just some phrases that tended to lend towards a teen...at the same time she was supposed to be fairly socially inept. Nonetheless, it was a good story and a good read and I loved the plot. As a girl, Arizona had been sold into sex slavery so she hates men. Jackson saved her and now is her over-protective 'brother'. This event has caused Arizona to want to catch men like her captives and save other women from her experiences. She has a plan to take down a smuggling ring but needs help. She doesn't want to go to Jackson or any of the others on the team so turns to Spencer believing that he will be her partner without telling Jackson. Spencer likes her plan and agrees not to tell Jackson about it but does tell one of the other team members when he knows they need more people to help with the take down.The character development in this story is quite in depth. You get to know a great deal about the main characters, their lives, and their histories. Arizona had only seen the disgusting, brutal side to men and sex so she doesn't know how to handle her attraction to Spencer. On the other hand, Spencer has always been attracted to Arizona but didn't make his feelings known because he knew of her past and distrust of men. Oh, and he also didn't want to get on Jackson's bad side. It was hard enough to work with Arizona and hide his feelings for her but he also was fighting his alpha male tendencies to take control and let her run the operation.I loved that Spencer was compassionate and didn't try to change Arizona but to accept her own sexuality. His competence and compassion were proven when he was able to get the other guys to trust that Arizona knew what she was doing and could take charge of the operation.Arizona's "I can do it myself" attitude did drive me crazy because it got her into dangerous situations. Even though she had a very hard life, I didn't really 'like' her so much as felt sorry for her. Even so, I like the way she has handled her life in such a positive way.
Do You like book Le Frisson De La Peur (2014)?
Once again Lori captured me. Spencer is by far my favorite Alpha Male.
