I was not impressed with this book, which really disappoints me because I was looking forward to a new good series! The plot and premise for the story was pretty good, but I felt that the writing had no depth. I found myself not really caring about the characters and some stuff was just too unbelievable. It's hard to believe that this tiny, half-starved woman could do some fancy self defense moves on the second largest of the brothers (who can do magic, too) and wind up pinning him on the ground (and keeping him there while she made her point). I mean, really! The hero and heroine spend most of their time yelling at each other. The best thing I can say about the book is its cover is yummy!
