Hmmm. Ok this is an odd one. I have lots of grumbles about this book. It was a fairly typical stoic man & pretty girl kind of romance but with assassins and aliens and well stuff. So sci fi romance. The lead characters flip flopped like a couple of thirteen year old girls "ooh he's so mean to me but" "oooh I have to stop thinking about her but(t)" ok, not actual quotes.AArgh. I wanted to throttle them both and his sulky mate.
On the other hand, I found the book utterly compelling an dlay awake till midnight trying to finish it before I fell asleep.
IT's a bit like those old 80's movied, Dirty Dancing, Cocktail, all that sort of thing. It doesn't matter that the plot is trite (which is inevitably is) or that the dialogue is cheesy. Even as you cringe at Patrick Swayze delivering lines worthy of a teen drama queen you snuggle further into the sofa and fall in love with the movie all over again.
Kenyon knows how to pull you along even if you can't quite identify why.
I shalln't re read these books but even though I know it will frustrate me I will read the rest of them and you know what i'm sort of looking forward to them.

Hey, thanks for the honest review Hagelrat! And I mean it!! I will wait for it to get cheaper instead of buying now. It won't grate on my nerves and book-addict-heart to wait then :)
Hi Cherry, always lovely to see you here and always enjoy your reviews.
My review at the Book Smugglers says the same thing. This book certainly annoyed me as hell most of the time and that Kiara deserved a smack on the head, several smack even. But I just couldn't drop it and pulled through right to the very end.
