Deadly Game by Christine Feehan

Mortification Scale: 3 Tomato Faces

            • 2 TFs for being a romance novel
            • 3rd TF for embarrassing cover art

Redeeming Features:

            • None!
Synopsis:

Ken, the twin brother of Jack (protagonist of Conspiracy Game), captures Mari, the twin sister of Briony (heroine of Conspiracy Game), while they are on separate missions to guard a US Senator.

They immediately fall deep into lust and even though Ken has been tortured and is scarred over his entire (yes, ENTIRE) body, they make sweet sweet love. Of course, due to the scarring, the sweetness needs to be a little rough. Read the book if you want details! Odd, but interesting. When Mari escapes back to her hellish life in a secret laboratory (I told you that this book has no redeeming features), Ken follows, saving her from rape, death, etc. etc.

I know that the twin thing is appealing. So tempting to do a group of brothers hooking up with a group of sisters. Unfortunately, in this case, the first pairing was much more engaging than the 2nd. This was the 5th book in a series. I'm on the fence about reading the 6th. I might have better things to do with those 2 hours of my life. Hmmm.
