I've only recently glommed onto Lara Santiago's books, and I am so glad I have. They can be read out of order (something I really appreciate) but if you're like me, you'll want them all. This futuristic suspense had a rock-solid story line that was enhanced from the beginning with sexual tension that oozed right off the pages. The love scenes are explosive, the characters are memorable, and the story was a wild ride to the end. A perfect summer escape!

Tyler Blackthorn has been married over ten times. In futuristic world where women have no rights and are ruled by their families, Tyler is somewhat of a savior. He is in high demand as a groom despite his status as a divorced man many times over. He does his part to thwart a government he does not agree with by purchasing brides at bride auctions and then setting them free by divorcing them, thus leaving them free to marry men of their choice. His heart is never involved, and the marriages are never consummated - at least not until Tyler rescues Veronica Moorehouse from her own auction, and makes her his bride.

Book four of The Wives Tales series, The Mercenary's Wife is an interesting and entraining read. Each of the characters was written in such a believable way that they could be someone I know. I found the plot unique and the love scenes steaming hot. And to be honest, Tyler Blackthorn can rescue me any day.

The Mercenary's Wife is a great addition to my bookshelf. But then again, anything written by Lara Santiago is a keeper!
