Review: Trying to write five characters in 170 pages? Impossible
Rating: 2 out of 5

I can see where other reviewers were frustrated with the main characters hopping into bed within hours of meeting each other. However, I can make allowances for magical connections like "mating". I even thought their magic was kind of cool, although so unrealistic, even by the bounds of fantasy writing, that it was a little laughable. What I didn't like about this book was that the author tried to make us care about and see a burgeoning relationship among five people in a small number of pages. She labeled each of the men ("gentle warrior", "poetic", etc.) and that was all we ever got to know about them. And the heroine's depiction wasn't that much deeper. So, I made it through the book, but couldn't have given a damn about any of the characters. And I thought the descriptions of the sex were a bit over-wrought as well. This was not a favorite.
