The only reason why this didn't get 5 stars is because... it's cute... and the dangerous man/hero of the story is more... cute than dangerous. He's got some gritty scenes, but all in all... he's like Pierce Brosnan as 007. Entertaining.... not really bad boy material. The mythology surrounding this story/series is really interesting, and woven quit well through out the plot. I would definitely recommend this book to someone who enjoys the more traditional romance category. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy reading the story- let's just say, if you like kickin yourself in the rear first thing in the AM with extra strong coffee done straight (as in black)... this would be... hot chocolate. With whipped cream AND marshmellows :)
