This is the start to a new series. The story was good and the characters are interesting. However, I only gave it 3 stars because the ending veered in a direction that wasn't convincing to me.
Pros
I liked that there is a section at the beginning to give the reader some background before the action begins.
Lots of action right from the start.
The relationships are hot and steamy, but sometimes hint at something beyond.
Cons
The background is a little too detailed for how much it connects to the actual story. I'm thinking that it will be expanded on as the series continues, but there are some details that by the end I was thinking, "Well, why did you tell us that?"
I found where the reader was dropped into the story with each character a bit abrupt, especially with the main female character. It would have been nice to have a little more detail about her past experiences to understand her better.
To me this is erotica, not romance. I'm putting this as a Con because different people have different expectations based on genre. If you're thinking there are going to be slow moving, sweet relationships, you'd be wrong.
In fact, all of the relationships are so intense that I found it a bit tiring. Personally, I don't like where this series seems to be heading in terms of relationships, so I won't be reading the next book.
