Three days after Beneath the Skin, Etched in Bone returns us to the world of Dante and Heather in one smashing fourth book. Adrian Phoenix is a master in world building in her series. As the emotional roller coaster in the book continues we are given enough action to satisfy anyone as the book continues into its story hard and fast. Poor Dante just wants a quiet life with his hot FBI girlfriend Heather but it just does not go that easy for them. Phoenix builds an amazing story into her books that really grip the reader and you feel like you are experience the landmarks and the action from your own seat in detail and feeling. If you could ever burn calories while reading this author and series would be able to keep you on the edge of your seat, since your mind is spinning keeping up with the possibilities of the plot.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. May Dante kick it to the fallen time and time again on his quest for happy times with Heather. The romance was hot and heavy and it was blended well with the action in the book.

Etched in Bone, you were great. I cannot wait now for Book Five.
