In a desperate measure, she asked for a friends help. And sealed her fate. Capture, Aman found herself trapped inside a luxurious prison.

Nia Foxx has incredible talent in creating sexual tension between the characters. The words flowed across the pages and it was a true joy to read. A touch of humor, strong characters, and steamy sex really move this novel forward at a fast pace. The ending felt a bit abrupt and I was expecting a bit more of warp up. Aman and Sergei are wonderfully complex and complete characters that really drew my interest and my sympathies. If you want a read a novel that involves the senses and emotions, pick up a copy of Gargoyle’s Challenge.
