Review: Not very romantic erotica

This is more erotica than romance. Katrina Winslow, a brilliant scientist (we are told, though she doesn't sound like one), meets her boyfriend, Evan, at a hotel bar and they play Truth or Dare. Evan dares her to take one of the men in the bar upstairs to have a threesome, and she takes him up on it. The rest is sex, and Evan is a jerk who breaks her heart just like every other man she's dated. There is a happy ending, however. The story made me sad for Katy, as she processes Evan's betrayal (and it's a biggie!) and thinks about all the guys who treated her like she was less than nothing. The hero (not Evan) seems to appreciate her, though, and the chemistry is off the charts between them. So there is lots more sex, and the promise of still more sex, and maybe even some true romance, in Tabke's Chronicles of Katrina sequels. The author's writing is fine, but there was just not enough substance or characterization here (though I believe Tabke tried to create some) for me to connect with any of the characters, and I don't plan to buy any of the sequels.
