They
call him MB1. The mindbender. Jason Asbury has the ability to turn people into
his puppets with the power of his mind. He is NSA’s most treasured asset, until
he escapes a top secret facility at age fourteen. Twelve years later, he has
achieved everything a man could want, except for lasting love. But Jason’s past
comes to haunt him, as a mystery man employs serial burglar Ally Brown to steal

been. She now finds herself caught between the man she stole from and the one
who hired her. But which one turns out to be the most dangerous to her?
My Review
The prologue in
Mindbender sucks you inside a fast paced and thought provoking romance
thriller. I loved the way Lillian Summers grounded me in the
setting very firmly. The place is a top secret NSA
facility, nestled right in the middle of
an unbreakable stronghold. Unreachable.
Yet, a fourteen year old boy, the
mindbender, breaks out of this high security facility in less than two minutes.
The author takes us
then to Miami Florida 2012.We meet Jason Asbury, age 26, multi-millionaire,
living in Bay Point Estates. Or
should I call him MB1? A heart-stealer, an enigma for all the people who
meet him. In the past three years, more
than half the socialites, either married or unattached, had happily shared his
bed, and he was still unashamedly counting. But what he was doing in his home
life was everyone’s wild guess. A
mysterious, seductive man of devastating handsomeness and sexual allure whose
charms captured the women in bonds of irresistible desires. Asbury has no
friends, no confidants, not even relatives. Only one-night-stands.
Will Ally Brown
age 24, unemployed, with her
aristocratic, high cheekbones and elegantly drawn eyebrows, a mouth with finely
curved lips and jade green eyes prove a match for the devious Jason or will
she prove more cunning and dangerous than him?
Have I aroused your
curiosity? Well, then you must know that people who enjoyed watching Dark
Angel, X-Files or Dead Zone will find
Lillian Summer's novel extremely
captivating. The plot and characters are awesome. The characters are all
as perfectly flawed and human as can be; complex and carefully created. It is a
story that will make you feel good and smile and also think and question.
There are twists
and turns that I didn't see coming, and characters that will capture your
attention from the moment you meet them. Up until the very last page. There is
a lot of character development and chemistry between characters. I can hardly
wait for the next parts.
If you want a real,
intelligent, romance novel, enhanced by thrilling scenes, Lillian Summer's Mindbender is the perfect choice.
This is a very different romance.
I was given a copy of the book in exchange for an honest opinion.
I rate it Five Stars
