She wants to save people, while he literally wants to save the planet, and they’re both zealous about their subject. Both Lennix and Maxim have aspirations to save the world. He’s got a sense of integrity that clashes with his father’s. Maxim is also brimming with confidence and determination. She knows what she wants and is unwilling to settle for less. Lennix very strong with a firm sense of who she is. At this stage we get to know a lot more about the characters and they have great depth. There is a lot of backstory before the plot jumps forward four years to when they meet again in Amsterdam and things really take off between them. As an environmentalist, Maxim has been pulling away from the control of his father, but when he learns about his plans regarding the sacred Apache site he cuts all ties. They first meet at a protest against his father’s company where he saves her from attack dogs, but he doesn’t reveal who he is. The plot charts the relationship between Lennix Hunter, an Apache, and rights activist for marginalised groups, and Maxim Cade, scientist, and son of a ruthless billionaire oil tycoon. It’s hard to review the book without giving a lot of those details. This means there’s a lot of detail and multiple layers and issues covered. I guess I’ve become used to single books, even series, having a tight timeline and I got a bit frustrated with the slow movement of the plot. This story is a duet and the first book has a time frame of fourteen years.
