Yes it was free, and that's the only reason I "purchased" it.  I don't know precisely why, but I never felt connected to the story.  There was a lot of time and space devoted to sex between the two main characters in the book (far too much space, actually), but the characters never pulled me into the story at all.  The basic premise of the book just never caught my interest, and I didn't really care about what was happening or any of the characters.  If I had to put my finger on what was wrong about this book, it would be that there was hardly any back-story to the characters.  The author also relied on conclusive statements that seemed to come out of the blue, rather than letting the characters' motivations and reasoning evolve naturally through the story.It was actually a chore to get myself to finish reading the book, starting from about a third of the way into it.  Not that the first third of the book was any better - that's just how long I would give an author to warm up and hook me into their story.  The sex scenes were too frequent and too long, to the point that the underlying story was never developed in any meaningful way.  It's ebooks like this that make me miss the ability to jump ahead in a paper book, quickly flipping past several pages until I can see where a particularly boring scene has ended and the story picks up again.  I would not read any sequel to this book, even if it were free.  I wouldn't try another, unrelated story by the same author, unless perhaps it, too, was free.
