Review: A Bit Disappointing
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 04 10, 2013
It started off well enough if you don't mind the circumstances but it fizzled out for me towards the middle and only picked up enough at the end for enjoy it. In all honesty I wanted to skip it but I didn't want to miss anything as I went on to the next book so I continued to read even though I was a bit bored. As I said, it did pick up towards the end and was a little more interesting so I was able to finish reading.In the previous 2 books the author made a point of allowing a certain amount of time to pass...weeks, months, even years. In this book everything happened in about the space of a month.In the beginning we find out that Elise is to be married to Kane because of political alliance between her father's pack and Kane's pack. That was just ridiculous the way it turned out. Elise literally had 3 hours before she was mated to Kane. In my opinion the author should have at least thrown a few days in the mix. It would just seem more logical and make more sense.Another thing I had issues with is the time between Elise believing she is in love with Bryan and the time she starts to realize she loves Kane. This is another reason why I have issues with the time sequence in this novel. We literally read day after day of what they do. While I can understand Elise assessing her feelings and seeing that Kane is who she is in love with instead of Bryan who she just loves I think a month or two should have been given.It might just be me but it was really annoying to be halfway through the book and only a week and a half passed and Elise is saying she might be in love with Kane. Also I don't mind that Elise really had no skills whatsoever but by her conversations with Kane you could tell she is smart and I found it stupid that she got so many clues about what was happening and was not able to connect the dots.I liked Kane. I think he is a good Alpha and besides the aggression at the end which which wasn't that bad since they basically wanted the same thing. He tried his hardest to make Elise happy and while he could have done things differently he did what he could.At the end....I didn't really like what went on between Ryne and Elise....it was insinuating in my opinion to some attraction. That could just be me again as it wasn't anything obvious. I honestly feel I am being a bit generous giving it  3 stars but there were parts of this book that were good but there was a lot wrong with it.
