Christy Poff

Nigel and Sephora have been neighbours for years but haven't had the chance to really get to know each other yet. Sephora is a very successful fundraiser for charities which take place all over the United States and Nigel's job makes it necessary to travel a lot, too. But when Nigel and Sephora finally meet at a fundraising event, they're at once attracted to each other and soon the passion between them boils high.

When geologists discover a vein of turquoise which runs through their properties this should guarantee them a happy and wealthy future. But soon it becomes obvious that there is another man who is after the vein and he wants to reach his goal whatever the cost.

This book is foremost an action packed thriller complete with terrorists, arms dealers, some fierce fight scenes, FBI agents and so on. The suspense will leave you breathless from the first until the last page. But it's also a very sweet romance between the two main characters, who seem to be an unlikely pairing at first. The sex in this book is scorching hot and there is some mild BDSM, too.

What annoyed me a little bit was the constantly changing point of view throughout the story. Sometimes when the point of view changed to another character, the timeline was set back, too, and the same scene was described from the point of view of the second character. That didn't work very well for me and I always had the feeling I was just reading the same thing again. But overall it didn't bother me that much. Dark Illusions is a very enjoyable read and an overall recommendation. I especially liked the different and exotic settings throughout America and Europe, which made this book a very interesting read.
