I've been debating on how best to review this novella... In some respects the book was a definite 4 star and in others it was a 1 or 2 star. I wish it would break it down further, so I guess I'll do it that way. All around though, I would give it 2.75 stars.FYI: Spoilers below!We'll start off with the good: 4 STARS: I LOVED the sexual tensions and the bedroom scenes (which generally did not occur in the bedroom) were amazing! Especially when she lost her virginity! It was HOT!2 STARS: The plot was barely believable... I mean where was the climax? It was like the story was building up for this big showdown between Ruger (villain) and Orion (anti-hero) to save Kira (heroine), but it never happened!!! Things just kinda got resolved behind the scenes. It really was anti-climactic to say the least.1 STAR: This is for the ultimate CREEPINESS of the age difference between Orion and Kira. I mean he talked about being there when she was born for goodness sake, but he makes out with her when they first meet after years later?? And, they would reference him holding her on his shoulders to see above the crowd, and how she made him believe in goodness and innocence. Yet, he is okay with taking hers immediately because he wants to make her tougher???? No ma'am! Makes zero sense!I realize that things have to progress quickly went it is a novella, but that just doesn't seem possible that a guy who saw her as a daughter could take advantage of her the day her father is killed!But, I digress. All in all, I did kinda like them being together in a weird sort of way... And, I do think it is worth a read being that it is only $.99.
