Tyson Steele was getting another chance with the one woman that let him go. She was not going to be another notch on any ones bed post. Hunter McKay has returned home to Phoenix and the chance to make her life something more than it has been. She runs in to Tyson one night and he tells her in no uncertain terms what he wants to do to her. He speaks as if it is a forgone conclusion. Hunter again decides to walk away. She has to come to the understanding that she too can get a little something out of what Tyson is offering. Tyson not deterred decides to stay in pursuit of Hunter. But one night things change and we find that the prey and hunter may have changed roles. They find that over some time they have become friends and lovers.

In true Steele fashion, this man gets his woman.

I'm rating 'Possessed by Passion' 3 stars for all the steamy sex scenes. If you want lots of hot steamy gratuitous sex in your reading, then this book is for you.

Hunter McKay is an architect and she's been asked by Dr. Tyson Steele to build a 6 room home for him and his brothers (if they ever get kicked out by their wives). It's only a ruse so he can seduce her. Tyson is a playboy and everyone knows it. He has no intentions of commitment or marriage. Hunter, in her youth, never gave him any play. Unfortunately, after college Hunter married a man who wasn't kind and she too is put off by marriage and commitment.

The whole of this story is Tyson's obsessive sexual predator behavior for Hunter. He claims to be a man possessed by passion. It's said over and over at the end of the book. After a month Hunter is in love (of course she is), but is wary that Tyson only sees her as a play thing and nothing more.

I've enjoyed previous books about the Steele Family. Mrs. Jackson usually does the family dynamic quite well and is what compels me to continue reading her many series.
