I'm giving this a two star instead of one because I did not finish reading the book.  At about chapter 4, I returned the book for a refund.  It is possible that the story would have improved, but I did not want to use up any more of my time to find out. First of all, comparing this book to a Kresley Cole book is a gross exaggeration and, as a result of the comparison, I had very high expectations before I even began to read.  The characters are nothing like Cole's characters. The female protagonist is NOT smart, witty, or even interesting.  She is duped repeatedly and makes incredibly stupid decisions and this is near the beginning of the book.  The banter between the male and female protagonists is neither humorous nor clever.  The narrative was not smooth and the plot did not pull me in. Maybe if I had not had such high expectations I would have reacted more positively to the story and tried to continue reading, but anytime Cole's name is mentioned the expectations will always be high.
