Well after all the good reviews and the affordable price tag- I decided to give this one a shot.This review may contain spoilers.Disappointed.  Dialogue is stilted and doesn't flow.  The character interaction is awkward at best and feels forced.  At 75% into the book you still don't understand why Terry's life is so "crazy" she would just run off to Vietnam. She quit her job because her boss wanted her to overlook tabloid trash lies (fine- but that doesn't make your job "crazy").  She lives at home?  So what?  That's "crazy"?  And who the eff can just take a year off work at 28 and backpack alone in Asia!?  Kind of unrealistic- but I could over look that if the rest of the story was believable.  And what was with the kid in the travel office?  That interaction seemed totally unnecessary.  Is everyone but Liam and Terry in this story freakishly unattractive.  People are "skin and bones" have "saggy jowls", ect.Liam isn't much better.  He's in Borneo talking to some half changed shifter (who forgot how to shift) when we meet him.  Then someone a "Hunter" is trying to kill him so he takes off to Vietnam.  (Sorry the Hunter storyline just gets old- come up with something more creative.  A LOT of shifter stories revolve around Hunters- we need a new bad guy).  Nothing is explained as to why he's in Borneo, who the heck Leon is, why he's so shut off emotionally, etc. When he meets the "h" he barely talks to her, but she is bound and determined to stick with him. (Why?  He clearly doesn't want to spend time with you and he doesn't even talk to you.  You came to a foreign country to "get away from your crazy life" but insist on sticking with some guy you just met who shows almost no interest in you).I was so unhappy- I just quit reading.  The characters feel flat, I am not invested in what happens to any of them and the romance left a lot to be desired.  Everything about this story just felt forced.Minor pet peeve- misspelled words and incorrect grammar throughout.I commend the author on putting him/herself out there, but this one just didn't do it for me.
