Faltering is the first book to an exciting, hot new erotic romance series, and Julia Danes is my new favorite author. I really enjoyed the elements of this book, including the very real and raw characters and various settings that take place first in Egypt, then Boston and New York. Danes does a great job of creating drama and suspense---I really felt Emma's pain when she discovers Alec's betrayal. After all, she's already got trust issues considering what she went through with her ex, Dean.The book is so well-written that I became completely involved in the characters and the overall story line---Alec is simply hot and scrumptious. He's also Emma's hero since he rescues her several times in Egypt when Emma finds herself in dire circumstances.The erotica is very provocative and tasteful; the chemistry between Alec and Emma is very real and unyielding. Faltering is similar in the writing style of E.L. James' "50 Shades of Grey," but the story and characters are original. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
