![]() ![]() THE DELILAH COMPLEX has an inventive plot. It isn't necessary for continuity of storyline, but familiarity with the initial stages of Morgan's relationship with Noah is worth the effort. I suggest reading the first book in the series, THE HALO EFFECT, before picking up THE DELILAH COMPLEX. Her assignations with Special Victims Unit Detective Noah Jordain thrive on the tension between them. She has a lovely teenage daughter named Dulcie, who emulates Morgan's dead mother, seeking a career as an actress. She juggles work, home and divorce like any other woman, but the nature of her work at the Butterfield Institute tends to drag her into the fray more often than not. Morgan is a fascinating character, full of her own flaws and the ironic inability to secure a lasting, satisfying relationship for herself. Instead, she captures the psychological aspects of sexual problems and deviance with compassion and understanding. ![]() Her protagonist is unique, and while some may shy away at the idea of a sex therapist as a main character, Rose's books are never smutty or obscene. ![]() With this second novel in The Butterfield Institute series featuring sex therapist Dr Morgan Snow, MJ Rose has hit another home run. Whenever I pick up a book by MJ Rose, I get lost in the masterful details, the top-notch misdirection and the picture perfect prose that never wastes a word. ![]() I could rush to my thesaurus for more, but you get the idea. ![]()
