I won't lie. I bought this book for the cover alone. While I enjoyed the book for the most part, I was a little disappointed regarding the heroine.I'm a huge fan of strong heroines. The ones who don't need a man. The ones who are confident in themselves and their abilities. The ones who don't need a man to complete their lives because they're living strong, independent, happy lives as it is.Sarah is not this heroine.Sarah is crazy co-dependent. It was a huge turn-off in her character. In the beginning, she's entirely too stubborn. It made the story just drag out and it just seemed fake. Once she backs off of the issue, she settles down and latches onto Colt. She's definitely not one that I'd call strong at all, no matter how many times Colt told her otherwise. She has a few moments (during her kidnapping) where she's "brave" and "strong," but it sure doesn't last long. The rest of the book, she's a sniveling mess. She's emotional (rightfully so at times) and easily stressed and upset. She can't stand being away from Colt. At the end, she literally begs him to stay with her all the time. She's just not a heroine that I could respect.As far as their chemistry goes, it falls directly in the love-at-first-sight department. Too much so. They're instantly all over each other. I could understand some attraction at first sight, but things are just too good to be true for way too long. It just wasn't believable.I don't know if I'd read the other stories in the series. I didn't hate this one, but I definitely didn't love it either.
