The chemistry between Aubrey and Walrafen left off the page from the first instance their characters met. There was more than one moment I found myself wondering if the room suddenly got hotter. While the sparks did indeed fly between the characters, I felt that the mystery part of the plot was overly contrived. It just did not flow as well as the characters did. I felt that the two parts of the book never meshed. The mystery was background to the romance, instead of being intertwined with it.

I wasn't too impressed with this book. The plot of this book was okay, but characters were dull and I didn't like that the hero kept using the "I know you want this" kind of lines which always bother me.

This was an interesting storyline and I liked the characters pretty well, I did think it was a bit slow in parts but other than that it had a good pace. The heroine was great, feisty and had a great sense of self. Good read.
