I don't know if it was because of my mood or if I truly didn't like the book...
I had read the first one (When Blood Calls) and loved it. But I had read it so long ago that I needed to reread it before I started this one and found I really didn't like these books.
1) Really doesn't seem like true love...just pure lust. Which isn't a problem for everyone but is for me
2) The author's idea of love doesn't mesh with mine....then again, I'm used to historical romances...which holds different beliefs about love than comtemporaries. Small differences that probably wouldn't bother anyone but me. For example, I like the idea of the hero not having sex with any other woman once he meets/gets involved with the heroine. In a lot of contemporaries, b/c of the modern world, it's not a big deal...but to me kinda is. Don't know why. Not that this hero does...I just wanted to use an example of what i mean.

HOWEVER, this author has a lot to offer. With complex plots and twists and plots you can't readily guess at...It's really good. She's great at writing. So I can see a good bit of people enjoying this book/series/author. Especially if my two complaints aren't a big deal to you as they are to me
