I wish the book was longer.  It was just the right length but I didn't want it to end. I read the book twice now and I still enjoyed it because I read it too fast the first time. I did notice that there were some things that would have been better explained but it didn't detract to the story.Mikayla is human with snake-like characteristics, belonging to the race called Raasa.  The Raasa race are peace loving people.  They are slightly built, they possess fangs and venom to protect themselves, including forked tongues.  They don't have any body hair except the one on their head.  If these things turn you off, then this book is not for you.  Vaan is Kabanian, belonging to a warrior race.  He is the Overlord of the Kabanians and has his 15 warlords with him. They do not show affection and kissing's not part of their vocabulary.I love how the relationship between them started to grow considering their cultural and physical differences.  Mikayla is strong, independent and brave but not annoyingly so.  She is actually very sweet and affectionate towards the Overlord.  Right from the start, she knew what she wanted, knowing when to fight her battles and when to compromise. The Overlord in turn is honorable and fair to Mikayla.  They are both very likable characters :)SPOILER ALERT:  I simply love the part when Mikayla tried to teach Vaan how to kiss and pleasure her... Vaan actually started to become addicted to Mikayla's way of love-making and he calls it bed play.I love how the Overlord started to fall for Mikayla, needing her occasional signs of affection... PDA in a light dosage.Michelle Howard is a new author to look out for and hopefully this book becomes a LONG series.  Looking forward to the stories of the other Warlords.
