Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Synopsis
Review: And then there was one...

When psychologist Damian Steele killed off the nasty half of his dual-personality patient, he never expected that the "widow" would file a wrongful death suit. Nor did he expect that a breathtaking beauty would be his savign grace.

Attorney Kay Kellogg had handled some unusual civil cases at Justice Inc., but Damian's definitely setting a new precedent. So, too were her feelings for the darkly mysterious and sinfully sexy psychologist- the "beast" who kept far too many secrets.

As the sensational trial unfolded, Kay found herself fighting not just for justice, but for her sanity. For Damian's secrets were the kind that stalked the mind as well as the heart.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's hypnotizing!
Review: I believe it really caught my attention. As soon as I started reading I was taken into another world, I couldn't put the book down, I ACTUALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER !!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Gripping thriller but reader gets short-shrifted on the roma
Review: When psychologist Damian Steele "kills" off one of his client's personalities he never expects to be sued by the deceased "man's" wife. His attorney, Kay Kellogg, is excited by the chance to try such an interesting case and is determined to win but is fighting obstacles every step of the way. It seems her sexy client is keeping too many secrets - secrets that may cost her not only the trial but her life!

This was a very interesting story about multiple personalities. Normally I'm bored by courtroom dramas, the basis of this story, and I almost put the book aside when I realized what it was about but the author hooked me with the multiple personality bit and kept me hooked with the interesting twists and turns. These same plot twists and the short length of the book left very little room for romance development or character development though. I never got into their heads didn't feel them connect or fall in love. The romance was almost secondary (and unnecessary, IMO) to the plot. There was little to no humor and the chilling domestic abuse made this a very intense and dark read. I admit it I'm a sucker and was taken in by the title and thought this was a beauty and the beast tale. Don't be fooled it isn't or not in the traditional sense anyway. However, despite my complaints I still recommend this book because it fascinated me and I couldn't put it down. Expect an intense plot just but don't count on an intense romance.
