This is the first book I have read from this author and I liked it.  But what I loved was the heroine, who was free spirited, beautiful, smart and witty.  But above all she could hold her own with the very dominant hero.  In most of these type of books, the hero is the one who controls at his will the sexual teasing, melting the heroine's resistance.  But this heroine, can, and does dish it out to the hero as well,  often (symbolically) bringing him to his knees. And it was great to see a heroine, who even after falling in love with the hero, her every other thought, is not about how much she loves him, or agonizing about his feelings for her.  I also liked that there is a lot from the point of view of the hero, and that the couple fell in love around  the same time.But there were two things I did not like at all.  First:  both hero and heroine are not looking for commitment, and I am totally fine with that.  What I minded (terribly so) is that soon after they declare their love for each other, the heroine changes her mind, and wants a commitment from him.  She goes as far as to confront him about it.  While the hero is not sure he wants to "completely" commit to her until the very end, and acts accordingly.The second thing I did not like (and I grant you it is a minor detail) is: that when the heroine and her best friend are in a car accidentthe hero rushes to the friend's side,unbuckles her seat belt, and takes her to safety, all before he checks on the heroine. Yes the friend was also "his" friend, and yes she was very pregnant.  However the friend by all appearances was unhurt, while the heroine was totally unresponsive.  Yes, a minor detail, that none the less took away some of the enjoyment of my fantasy read.At a later date I may try reading book 3 and/or 4, but never, ever book 1.
