My heart is still pounding. This was sooo emotional and full of angst, just what I like the most. I looooved it!

I am so glad Warrick had is own affair, it's not only fair but also an awakening call for Toreth. It wasn't mean, cruel or petty, it was necessary for both of them.

Their relationship is progressing, slowly, but their feelings are showing more and becoming more apparent to each other. I really hope they keep advancing and finally get to a defined place. I'd like to see them living tog ...more

Umpteenth reread. Yup. I'm just a sucker for the hot 'n dangerous, angsty fuckery and I'm not afraid to admit it anymore.

When I noticed that people on the train were giving me funny looks, I finally realized that I was actually gnawing on my fingernails. Don't mind me guys! I'm just having a bit of a panic attack here because Toreth is completely losing it and Warrick is about to die!

"White-hot blinding anger burned through him."

And Playing with Fire started out amusing enough. With Warrick int ...more

My heart and head feel all twisted up and raw after this story. Manna Francis got under my skin with this one.

Warrick is the one playing with fire, but both men get burned here. THIS was a very dangerous move. WARRICK! Very dangerous and cruel. Corporates certainly know how to do revenge up right with one cold, brutal blow.

”He hated most of all this loss of control, this feeling of someone—anyone--having power over him again. Even if Warrick didn’t choose to exercise it, even if he claimed tha ...more

I think this is one of the first truly emotional parts of the series . My heart ached for much of this: for Toreth, for Warrick… Silly me, even as much as I’ve read and come to know (but not yet truly understand…not quite there…) these characters, I can’t help but still hope for their happy ending. So, this one hurt. It was a game they probably had to play. But seeing now how much they are capable of hurting each other…

Still, I’m glad Warrick did what he needed to do to get Toreth’s attention. D ...more

So much for focusing on real life. I read this last night before I went to bed. Big mistake. BIG.

Toreth going all alpha and the ways he chose to mark his territory messed up with me in ways I'm not particularly willing to explore right now.

Mind fuck anyone? ...more

YES!! *gulp* This isn't where the going gets good (we've been there and ate those pancakes) but eeeeek, THIS is what I'm talking about. More, I need more!

Somebody was bound to get burned. It was only a matter of time. How the scorching happened was the shocker. Warrick was certainly going out on a very shaky limb playing this game with Toreth..brave soul.
"Because I wanted to hurt you."
"I wanted you to know how it feels."
It never feels as good as you think it's going to when you try ...more

This was a disturbing read. I remember a member commenting on one of the earlier stories that we didn't see something more explicit regarding Toreth's deranged and dangerous personality. We do now.

Warrick is a better person than I am. It took him long enough. Too bad he came to his senses.

I enjoyed this one tremendously! First of all the feelings of both Toreth and Warrick came across so strong and clear that I felt that I was suffering with them. Secondly I found Toreth's train of thought and his fierce jealousy extremely intriguing - in a very scary and irrational way. Warrick is a wonderful character, but Toreth is so complex and troubled that I find him absolutely fascinating and bizarre.

In a way this story was about so much more than cheating, jealousy and trust. It left me ...more

Not one of you know even remotely how fucking excited I was to read this book. So excited. I love this kind of intensity and angst, and even when I hadn't even begun Mind Fuck, I was anticipating this book. Warrick finally is the 'bad' one for a change and Toreth just flew the fuck apart. So. Happy. It was a good as I imagined and even better. Not only that, the ending was just perfection! *in the mood for free hugs* They are so fucking good together. ...more

Man these books are edgy. I feel like I'm balancing on a very weak ledge and can't quite get purchase. I LOVE that. When I want to scream at the page I know it's good.

Manna's writing continues to be top notch and very gripping. Excellent!
