Review: As a fantastical erotica, this passes well!

First off, I encountered this book as I was browsing for another adventure to read after Sandra Ross'Untouched: A Murder Mystery and Erotic Love Story. I found this book by another new writer K.D. Grace. Here's what I have to say: the characters are intriguing, in spite that I wish there were more back stories about them that would have made them deeper. The plot could use a lot of foreshadowing, too. On the other hand, for a fantasy erotica, the book passes and allows more promise for this author. Of course some of the situations would have been kind of unrealistic in another genre but that's forgivable here. I like the setting, the idea about The Mount, the idea about this elite people. Again, I wish there was more foreshadowing about what they were about without making the mystery suffer, in a way that will not require too much effort for me to guess what the hell is happening now, or what are they up to next and hoping the lack of foreshadowing pays up in the end. Kind of a little helping hand as I go along. I also like that even when the scenes are a bit unrealistic, I can actually imagine them. Rita's "Tango" with Alex in the beginning is delicious and exciting. The author has talent in making you impulsively "see" what she's trying to tell. That makes up for me the lack in character development and exploration. The sex scenes make this book a wonderful erotic read. That part will not disappoint.If you're expecting too much for a book, you might set this aside for now. But if you're looking for an author to follow in the erotica genre, K.D. Grace is someone to look out for. This is the very first book that she's published and the result is admirable. I would have given her three stars as comparison to other erotica authors in general, but I gave her four in consideration of this.
