Let me say that I wrote a gushing review over "Feral Sins" and based on that author's fantastic book decided to go for her, "From Rags" book.  I overlooked the just okay sample reading of "From Rags" and bought it.  So sorry that I did.  "From Rags" falls into the usual trap that a lot of these types of books do:  no beginning, straight into the bedroom action, no believable building of the relationship.  I was so disappointed because this author is much more capable in the imagination and depth department than "Rags."To be more specific as to what was disappointing about this book:- zero relationship build-up/getting to know each other between the male and female leads as adults.  What they know of each other is based on when she was 12 - 14 years of age and he was 14 -16 years.  8 years have gone by.  8 years of formative development.  There is no getting to know you again period, but straight into the sex.  Really hate that and it ruins the story for me.  I kept reading, skimming over the bedroom scenes cuz I find them boring when no mental intimacy is developed.  I kept hoping that the character development would happen later - no such luck- Jaxxon, the female lead strikes me as just so lacking in ambition/career smarts. I can't claim to know anything of the modeling world, but from what I've read about the industry in general, modeling is so competitive that Jaxxon's resentful attitude towards her work, would not be tolerated.  Any smart model would go for the Milan fashion opportunity - give me a break.Anyway, highly recommend "Feral Sins" and "Sexist Vampires" was good as well, but this one seemed like another author to me.
