This was a dark, sensuous experience, and I felt like the time spent examining the inside of Visola's mind was very rewarding. In some ways I could relate to her, but in other ways I was just awed by her.

Here's the set-up:
Meet the brave and fearless Visola; a woman unlike any you've ever
encountered. Her wit and humor take her through the darkest of dangers
with a smile always on her face--and her
smile only grows larger as the odds become more impossible. With no
concern for her own safety, Visola dives headfirst into the throes of
battle to protect the people and country she loves, even if it means
facing her worst enemy--the one man who can get inside her head and
break her down like no other: her own husband...
There is no divorce in the undersea kingdom of Adlivun. Marriage is a bond that lasts until death--even
if death comes in several centuries, and your spouse happens to become a
ruthless, vicious adversary. This is the conflict that General Visola
Ramaris faces when she learns that the mighty Vachlan is behind the
attacks on her kingdom. She has sworn to protect Adlivun with her life,
but long ago, she also swore to love and honor her husband...
Visola
must choose whether she will destroy Vachlan once and for all, or
attempt the hardest thing conceivable: communication. After two hundred
years of desertion, she knows she can never forgive him. When he
threatens the person dearest to her, she must take action. Confronting
Vachlan on enemy territory would be nothing short of suicide. She knows
that if she falls into his custody, the deranged mercenary would relish
torturing her and making her lose her own sanity.
Princess Aazuria
forbids Visola from taking matters into her own hands. She will do
anything it takes to protect her friend from the man who wants to crush
her. Alas, Visola is a crazy, uncontrollable warrior with the blood of
Vikings in her veins. Why would she ever consider doing the safe and
predictable thing?
One Reviewer Notes:
Before I was even halfway through it I was already telling people that it was one the the best books I had read, and my opinion hasn't changed. I loved almost every character and felt myself connected to each one more than I have ever connected to any book characters before. It seemed like every few pages I was experiencing a different emotion and I found myself extremely disappointed when it ended.

I met Sage Tharsson after I had run out of the resort’s casino after breaking up with my fiance, Jetson. Jetson was controlling, possessive, and liked his blackjack more than he did me.

He set me up in a penthouse suite where my awful night turned into the most passionate experience I had ever experienced.

You were right to be suspicious… It wasn’t Oswald in the book depository. It wasn’t Sirhan Sirhan in the Ambassador kitchen. It wasn’t a massive conspiracy or government cover-up. It was one man with one agenda. For small-time Huntington Beach bookmaker and wanna-be writer Trent Oster, it all started with a chance to collect a debt. Instead he’s offered an opportunity of a lifetime.
