The heroine: Melissa – she is the daughter of the general of the Nomads (what the Nobles call Rebels). Though her mother is a piece of work who was forcing her to do something she no longer wanted to do. She planned to give everything up to save her husbands, first drugging them to put them asleep then escaping on her own. Though things didn’t go as planned and she was captured by the Nobles, her mind was wiped, and she was put in an institution to be re-educated and married off to the highest bidder. Though her husbands rescued her and she has been trying to recover her memories.

The Heroes: Geoff, Cooper, Nolan, Dane, Wes, C.J. – Melissa’s six husbands.
Geoff – he is a handsome, irascible man who loves working with explosives, has a good time and is an optimist. He found out that Melissa was still alive and rescued her from the institution where she was held.
Cooper – he is a Noble Prince who discovered what Melissa was planning when she drugged her husbands and was able to sneak aboard her ship when she left. Though he ended up being caught and brought back to the Nobles and was put under heavy watch. All the other husbands thought he took her and hated him for it.
Nolan – he was born in and grew up in the harshest prison in the Galaxy. He is a fighter and tough and was Melissa’s first husband. She rescued him when she was only seventeen and he married her when she turned eighteen.
Dane – he is a doctor and an inventor; he was once a Noble who created the technology to wipe minds. He also invented the technology to restore them, though it doesn’t always work. He made mistakes in his life but has a good heart.
Wes – He is a genius who can work on anything mechanical. He has a brilliant mind but isn’t so great at taking care of himself, in fact he is a bit of a slob.
C.J. – he grew up as a Nomad and has known and loved Melissa for as long as he can remember. He is a great guy and always tries to look on the bright side.

The Story: Melissa just had surgery to put a signal blocker around the bomb attached to her heart, only to find her mother kidnapped five of her six husbands. She wants to rescue them but first will be meeting up with the sixth so he can help. She is over eight months pregnant with a baby girl and she still hasn’t recovered her memories but she is willing to do anything to get back her men.

In the last book, I really didn’t like the old Melissa much, so I wouldn’t have minded if she never recovered her memories. But nobody else knows why she left her men, and she has to recover the memories to figure out what the real danger is to her and her family. Hopefully she ends up with little parts of her old personality and a bigger part of her new one, since she is definitely a much nicer person now and cares about her men in a better way. Though she must have loved them before, since her dreams showed that she left them to protect them somehow. It turns out that she wasn’t as bad as I initially thought.

I liked the fact that Melissa made a plan and went after her mother, though since it happened so early in the book, I was afraid that things would go wrong, and the story would end up in a much different place than I expected. I won’t let you know what happened, but I will say that like the first book, the story kept me on the edge of my seat and wondering just what would happen next. And I really could never have predicted how this story would go.

I also liked the fact that the intimate scenes were steamy but not too long or detailed. Since Melissa had six husbands, if each time she was with one of them there was a long-drawn-out sex scene, then the book would have ended up being just one steamy scene after another and that would have bored me.
