Review: Could have been much better!

Let me start by saying that this author is not a bad author.  Her writing style is pretty good and her sex scenes are really hot.  The story, while not extremely original, wasn't too boring either.  The biggest reason that this book could have been much better was because it really can't be read as a stand-alone without getting completely confused and lost at the end.  If you try to read this story, without the ones before it, you will be disappointed.  I know that reviewers who have done the whole series seem happy, but I was not.  I don't like having to keep up with all these lines of story, since I read A LOT of books.  For me, recurring characters and ties to other books in the series is fine, but a book shouldn't be completely dependent on them.Secondly, I thought the characters were a little immature and not too realistic.  The themes, while very grown up, didn't seem to mesh with the more juvenile acting characters.  Being in my late 20's, I prefer something that feels and reads a little more "real".  For example, author Germaine Gibson (EROTICA- THE THEME PARK (Erotic Adventures - Women's Journals)andErotic Women's Journals - The First Three Books in One Volume) accomplishes this very well.  Her characters are more mature women who think, act, and respond in a manner very easy to relate to.Anyway, not a bad book, but not really one I would read again.  If you have read others in the series and liked them lots, check it out....you will probably like it better than I did.
