This book came up as a recommendation on Amazon.  Without looking, I purchased it.  From the first word, I understood that there is NO way to read and really enjoy this book without reading it as part of the series.  Was it full of scorching hot scenes?  Yes!  But without the background on the characters (there are 9, I think-- a lot to follow if you are new to the series), it was difficult to follow and understand with whom each person "belonged."A prologue would have been most helpful!  I have read several series lately and I am hooked on a few BUT the ones I love are the ones where each book could be read as a stand alone book.  This book was a short read but I felt like it took me forever to get through.  Too many characters - all getting in on together-- maybe too much for me.  Perhaps because I didn't know the stories behind the characters, I didn't feel like any of them had a deep connection to each other.  I am the furthest from a prude, the scenes didn't bother me, but they didn't make me fantasize either.At some point, perhaps I will read the other parts of the series.
