Rules Of Prey (Lucas Davenport, #1)
by John Sandford
by John Sandford
This novel was enjoyable enough, plot wise.
But I had a problem that was big enough to remove on star from my rating: the protagonist (and the love interest he impregnated). The main character is a pig. Pure and simple - he's all over the place with women (and apparently this behavior isn't confined to just the first book). I don't particularly find that to be an appealing character trait, so it's hard to like the lead in a series when that's the way he behaves. The woman he's going to have a baby with is a back-stabbing twit whom I also dislike, even thought I don't appreciate that he was hopping in bed with a criminal witness on the side, behind her back.
I may continue on with the series, but if these characters continue to behave like idiots, I doubt I'll be able to for much longer. I'd eventually grow to despise them and that never bodes well for me when it comes to books. :-p

keep reading. Youl eventually fall in love with Lucas--I promise!! I have read all 21 AT LEAST 3 times each, some 5 or 6 times. Heck, I´m a happily married MAN and I have a little crush on the guy! His character developement throughout the series has been a joy to witness.
