While this book have several things that MIGHT annoy me, i.e. instant love and jumping straight into sex in the name of "soul mate", with a number of sex scenes ... but somehow Lynn Lorenz's writing is able to win me over instead. I think the winning element is the character of Sammi. He's just an admirable rent-boy. Being a sex slave that endures abuse, he is able to stand up to Donovan (his master), getting away using his wit, to be able to land Mitchell (as his love) as well as a job of his own (later on). He stays hopeful and optimistic despite what life has brought him and never, for once, he blames his destiny. Mitchell, on the other hand, doesn't charm me enough. I don't feel a strength of his character, except for being "The One". The power theme seems to be commonly acceptable in the world of the story since Mitchell doesn't really freak out when he realizes that he is "connected" with Sammi. I guess it helps me as well, to accept the instant love theme. The ending wraps up a bit quickly (and pretty easy, I'd say), but again, Sammi wins me enough to stop me from complaining. Mitchell's friend, Brian, is next. So yay ...
