Review: Short on story - long on sexual tension
Rating: 2 out of 5

I'm surprised I got through 40% of this book.  I kept pushing through it believing there was an end, perhaps a pause, in the never ending battle between head, heart and hormone.  A well written story with a balance of action, witty comebacks and romance, this is not.  It begins with torture and rape that goes within days to the character really, really wanting sex with the weredragon that rescued her.  Being the one with fully functioning mental capacity, he gently puts her off. He believes that it would be a mistake so soon after her rape.  Being close to the subject of rape, he is correct.  Most women, in reality, aren't going to rush into sex with a male stranger after being stripped, tied naked, tortured and an attempted rape. (I say attempted, but so close it might as well have been.)There are certain things that are not believable, even in fantasy.  When the author couldn't seem to get past the questionable sexual attraction, the "you're my mate" and the need for speedy sex and gotten a grip on a story, I shut the pages and gave up.  I really cannot recommend this book.
