I really wanted to give a higher rating... I really did. The truth is the writing is superb, the storyline is interesting, character development is well done, sex scenes are plentiful, and it has the dark elements I love. So, why? It's sooo long. Don't misunderstand; I read fast so I enjoy a long book but I don't enjoy books that say in three paragraphs what you can say in three sentences. To say this novel is verbose is a gross understatement. I read a lot of erotica and this is the first time I've ever read a sex scene described to death. It just went on and on and on to the point where I felt so out of the moment it was more like reading a how to manual. The entire book was like that--every scene described in exacting detail to the point of boredom. Cut the word count in half and this would've been a great book. Such a shame.
