When Remington “Remy” Boudreaux found out Cory, the woman he’d always loved, had married their mutual friend Anton, his heart nearly broke. Becoming Anton’s business partner and being in the couple’s lives on a regular basis may seem crazy to some, but at least he could still see Cory and be her friend. After Anton’s death in a boating accident, Remy begins to think that maybe he and Cory could end up together after all, but then a conversation years in the making takes place, and Remy learns what a broken heart really feels like.

Cory has always loved Remy. She’d only married Anton because she was pregnant with Remy’s baby and Anton assured her that Remy no longer wanted her. It turned out Anton didn’t really want her either, he just wanted her because she had been Remy’s. A little bossiness here and there quickly turned into outright physical abuse and Anton eventually caused Cory to lose her baby, and all hope of having another. Finding out now that Remy still loves her, Cory shares with him the truth about the past. It’s a horrible thing watching the man you love suffer as he thinks about the pain you’ve endured and blames himself for not preventing it, or at least stopping it.

Cory and Remy are truly in love though, and it seems as if this time around their relationship is going to last. However, that’s before Anton’s ghost arrives to shake up their world. If he didn’t die in that accident, where has he been, and why come back now? It’s time for Remy to call in his friends and protect the woman he loves more than life. There’s no way Anton, or whoever it is impersonating him, is going to hurt Cory again.

Each of the books in the Men in Love series are inextricably entwined. Each story reveals more facets about all of the former SEALs and the people they love most. Remy’s nickname is the “crazy Cajun” and to hear him talk, that’s just what you’d think he is, however, his down home speech is just an act he puts on because people expect him to talk like that, and hey, the tourists who frequent the bar he and Cory own eat it up. Underneath the swamp rat exterior is a gentleman who joined the Navy to serve his country and was raised by a judge. Cory loves to dress in skimpy clothes, and that could lead people to believe she’s loose, but in reality, her heart and soul is encased in ice, at least until she and Remy get closer. What ice could survive the temperatures they generate? People sometimes think that abused women can’t be beautiful and come from wealthy backgrounds. Some say maybe the women did something to deserve their man’s ill temper. Let me assure you, when you read about the things Anton did to Cory, and the strength she showed (still shows) in the face of it all, you’ll be impressed with Cory and hope that she and Remy find the happily-ever-after they deserve.

Jake, Cree and Jenny, the trio united in BRANDED BY GOLD (February 2007) are integral to this story. Also important are Ben and Kate from BEN’S WILDFLOWER (May 2007). Good friends Nicco and his business partner Mac, as well as a mysterious employee of theirs, Amir, will also lend helping hands to Remy and Cory during the course of the book. And how could I forget Gabe, Rex and Boone, the trio whose story was told in OPEN TO POSSIBILITIES (October 2007). They too have roles to play in Remy and Cory’s love story.

With danger threatening in the shadows, and plenty of sexual heat right out in the open, COMPLETING THE CIRCLE is sure to keep your attention. If you’re a fan of the series, or even if you just meet them for the first time in this book, you probably can’t wait to find out if Nicco and Mac will ever admit they’re in love. Well, don’t worry, their story, GOING AGAINST ORDERS is up next. In the meantime, why not discover for yourself just who is stalking Cory? Get your copy of COMPLETING THE CIRCLE today.
