I don't generally pick books with covers that feature bare-chested hot guys. While it's nice to admire the hotness, I've learnt that nice abs don't always equal good story, but the blurb of this one intrigued me so I requested it.
I didn't dislike it. But there are some things that put me off. Like the heavy amounts of exposition and telling, which was especially irritating when there was a fight scene and I wanted to see action, but the pace instead of picking up, slowed.
As for the romance, I did like it. There was lust at first sight, and that's okay. Because from there it went to a much deeper attraction, to trust, until it became love.
But it was really confusing to get what was happening at first. I struggled to grasp how the world worked because people kept throwing strange words around; and I guess it'd have been easier if I'd read the first three books. But I didn't know it was a sequel until I was reading it, and then after a second of disappointment, I was relieved that it said it wasn't necessary to read the previous books. But as I read, it was more and more evident that it was probable I should have done it.
So I'd have to go with it was a tiresome read at the beginning, that I started enjoying halfway through, when things began happening.
