All three Callahan men and Archer Tobias are strong willed, dominant, broody, and sexy enough to make you wish you were the lucky little lady between their sheets. I have read some other reviews that almost upset me, of readers saying one or all of these male characters are abusive. I assure you that is not the case. There is a huge difference between abuse and stubbornness. Not so much as a mean name was called, nor were unwanted hands put on anyone else's body. These men are stubborn, sometimes abrasive, and have a tendency to be over barring. Crowe, Logan, and Rafer are all retired military and Archer is police chief. I believe they seemed like quite honorable men.
The suspense in the series was great. The stories of the couples are great, as is the back story of the Slasher. You definitely do have to read these books in order or it will ruin the build up to the big reveal of who the Slasher is. DON'T RUIN THE BUILD UP! All four books are filled with plot twists, interesting characters, and charming intellect. The female characters Cami, Skye, Anna, and Amelia have all had rough lives in one way or another and are strong female leads. Although I will say, 3/4 of them were virgins when they were with their male counterparts. Is there something wrong with a woman who is more experienced? Or at least one that doesn't wait for a man that isn't waiting for her. Go out and get some girl.
I am a personal fan of Lora Leigh. All four books in her The Callahans series have earned 4.5 stars from me! I only docked half a star because...there is a lot of sex and it seems excessive at times. I would recommend this book to anyone mature enough to handle that and fans of Heather Grahams suspense novels.
