It seems I've the dissenting view of Shalvis' Seeing Red....
It wasn't a bad book, mind you...It just wasn't so good That I'm desperate (or interested at all, really) in getting the rest of her titles
The story for the most part was pretty good though it did have a few inconsistencies, But the Hero.... he was great! all hot firefighting goodness! and what I really liked about him? He worked out daily, but hated it! How often do we see that perspective from a hero?! He's the main reason I kept going, really. :)
My issue was with the heroine. While her attitude is (mostly) understandable, I just couldn't like her... nor any of her relatives. Maybe if JS had delved more deeply into their family dynamics, I'd have been able to at least drum up some interest, but really they all annoyed me to no end. Halfway through the story, I almost put the book down but forced myself to finish it. While in the last few pages the heroine wasn't as bad (or as selfish as she was through the rest of the book) she didn't really redeem herself, at least not to me.... So if you're new to the author (as I was) I'd suggest not starting here.
