I enjoyed the book enough to finish it in one sitting; but I have to admit, I am very disappointed in the subject/story line. This is almost an exact "softer" version of J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood. There are just too many similarities: six brothers; in a remote castle; each with a "demon" of their own that allows them to not be close to women; yet they fall in love with their saviour. Not only that, but the "demons" are way to similar: Maddox with a beast that wants to kill everything, Aeron covered in tattoos, Lucien's face all scarred, Torin wears gloves because he can't touch anyone, Paris is so handsome women fall at his feet and he can't get enough sex, etc. The only difference that I could find, is that the "Lords" are not vampires. I will give the next book in the series a try, ONLY in hopes that it gets better or more original.
