Review: A Long Epilogue
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 09 7, 2011
This is like a long epilogue forColters' Woman (Colters' Legacy)- it's probably less than 20 pages of printed text - and tells the story of the birth of Holly's baby (she's the heroine of the story in case you missed that in all the ranting about the subject matter).  Having not read the first book, I was just a little lost when I started reading the book but not enough that I didn't know what was going on... just felt like I should know more than I did.  I've never read a Maya Banks book before, but I know that her genre is EROTIC ROMANCE... and that's fine by me.  If this short story is anything to judge her by, Ms. Banks writes well and handles what could be a vulgar and off-putting lifestyle in an adult, sensuous, and honest way.  That ain't easy, so kudos on that.The story is too short for a lot of character development, but I think the assumption is that all that's been done in the first full-length book so I don't fault the story for that.  Despite the brevity of the story, you do have a sense that these men are all different personalities and are each seeking something different from our heroine.I am familiar with and purchase a decent bit of explicit romance and erotica.  I will say that I was a bit wary about a relationship with three brothers - there's pushing the boundaries and then there's crossing the line - but each "couple" (Holly and Adam, Holly and Ethan, and Holly and Ryan) has an independent but open relationship with the others.  And, though it may have been in the first book, it's not like they all drop trou and get it on together in this story.As for all the bad reviews, unfortunately, that's just a reflection of people uncomfortable with the subject matter reading the story.  If it doesn't float your boat, find a different stream... simple as that.
