I love Ms. Dohner's other series, so I decided to try this one and was seriously disappointed.The heroine (human) comes to a were town while the mating heat season is in full swing. She's unaware such thing happens so makes mistake, gets into trouble (attempted gang rape) and is saved by the hero. So far so good. Then being her uncle's apple of the eye, she get's a bodyguard, ta-dam, the same poor guy. He's ordered to protect her and not to touch under the threat of being castrated.However, the heroine suddenly decides she wants to get in bed with him, even though she knows about her uncle's orders, threats and character in general. When she doesn't get what she wants, she starts behaving like a spoilt 5-year old brat trying to provoke the hero but gets into near-rape situation again. Then he has to mark her in order to get her out of this mess and she's not happy the guy isn't over the moon about it.I'm all for independent strong-willed assertive heroine but these qualities do not equal stupid stubbornness and creating mess all around you just to get what you want.Will try the second book in the series to see if it improves, probably, or will just wait for next New Species book.
