Okay. I just finished Tempting Danger, the first book in the series and I have to say, I'm fairly disappointed in the ending. Not the outcome, but the fact that it was anticlimatic. Anybody else read this and feel the same way? I thought the love scenes were anticlimatic as well, but some Urban Fantasies don't delve into the love scenes as much so I wasn't upset by that. But the fact that the fight scene starts, they mention the grandmother being a shifter and then boom, you turn the page and they're at a ceremony and it's all over. WHAT? Even that was like a page or two and over.
The purpose of reading all that boring stuff and character/world building is to get too the juicy fight and love-making scenes, not to skip over them. It's like "They were walking down the cooridor and she was reaching for the power to destroy the sorcerer there was a loud bang from above that was just her opportunity......and they lived happily ever after." That's what I felt like. HAHA |

I agree with you. There was a great build up and then a big let down. I have not read any of the other books in the series so maybe that would help with the let down, I don't know. I read Tempting Danger but actually have no desire to read any of the others in the series. |

The series gets better as it progresses if that helps at all. I've read all to date and I like them...not my fav but a good series. I also think they transition more from PnR to UF as the series progresses...I like that better but I know some like a bit more romance. |

I really liked Eileen Wilks. I think it is because the females are slightly older and actually have a life. None of this drop everything cause a hot alpha walks nearby. I compare her to Christine Feehan, and there is no question which I like more. Doormat? Or not? Of course, I'm not comparing her to Patty Briggs, Charlaine Harris or other UF. But for paranormal romance, her women do stand up for themselves. |

I actually read the 3rd book first ( bad Rachel not reading books in order) and then went back, so I did like it. I don't really remember the first one specifically, but I agree with Marie, it does get better, and it is more Urban Fantasy than PR. I liked it, but like Emily, I would not put her in the same category as Patricia Briggs or Charlainne Harris, but I like them enough that I will read the next one. |

Ok, I just finished the book. Thank you Kim! I have to agree with you 100%. I actually read the last few pages over. I was absolutely positive I missed something. I loved the book and almost feel like it was some Editor that decided to cut part of the book's ending. I can't believe any author would build up an ending like that and then let it fall that flat! |

Funny, because that's what I did as well. I turned back the page because I was so sure they stuck together and I missed something. Then I was really annoyed...LOL |
