You Are Mine (Nine Circles, #3)

by Jackie Ashenden

In the Nine Circles Club, there's a fine line between pleasure and pain, sin and salvation, heaven and hell. And it takes one bold pair of lovers to cross it...He's master of the game. Zac Rutherford is one of the most powerful and sought-after men in New York's private club scene. Masterful and demanding, he attracts beautiful women willing to surrender to his every whim, every desire, and every command. But Zac is in love with one woman, and one woman only. She is his true passion-and sole obsession. A glorious angel in the flesh...who refuses to be touched by any man. She doesn't play by the rules. Eva King owes her life to Zac. Seven years ago, he rescued her from darkness. Still, in spite of her attraction to Zac, she refuses to allow any man to touch her body, let alone her heart. But when a dangerous enemy from Eva's past reappears, Zac is the only one who can save her--if she's willing to bare her soul, shed her inhibitions, and surrender control...to him.

This review was originally posted on Cocktails and Books

YOU ARE MINE has it all, suspense, drama, action, BDSM and of course, romance. Zac Rutherford and Eva King have been good friends since the day Zac rescued Eva seven years ago and throughout those years, Zac has tried to fight his attraction to Eva. He has been waiting patiently to give her time to heal. Eva lives in constant fear because of her tragic past and she doesn’t trust anyone. On the outside Eva appears cool and tough while she hides how afraid and fragile she really is. Zac wants more than friendship from Eva, but Eva is afraid to get too close to anyone, even Zac. They are both stubborn and constantly arguing and bickering; although it’s obvious they deeply care for each other.

Zac, an alpha male, embraces the BDSM lifestyle and needs to be in control of everything in his life. He has a sexy British accent and is a protector by nature, with a dark side that stems from his past he keeps hidden from everyone. Zac is very patient with Eva. He is sweet and gentle and kind when he needs to be, but he can also be demanding and controlling.

I liked the story, but I had a hard time connecting with the Zac and Eva. I knew Zac cared about Eva and would do anything for her, but Eva has been through a lot and his way of helping her made me uncomfortable. This is the third book in the Seven Circles series and each story is a stand-alone, although all the characters are friends and the stories are interconnected. This is an entertaining, emotional ride.
