Review: 3.5 fun romp - a little better than just okay
Rating: 3 out of 5

There were parts that had me laughing out loud. Montford was such a dry stick and had levels of ODC. I liked him a lot. Twenty-six year old Astrid was annoying in her childish fights with Montford. Never felt much chemistry between the two. The secondary characters were a little overboard in their oddness. And I could have done without Petunia, Ant and Ard - all they ever did was chase each other and cause unnecessary (to the story) havoc. The first sexual scene felt very oddly placed. The h/h were exhausted, wounded, hungry, stinky, sweaty and covered in filth from head to toe after a couple of days of running for their lives - yet he's licking her during their little sexual encounter. That was so not sexy or hot. The next scene is equally misplaced. The story covers a mere week where so much happens yet much gets overlooked or not resolved. Still, I enjoyed many of the predicaments Montford had to endure. I will very likely read the next in the series and hope that there is real chemistry between Sebastian and Katherine and that we discover what happens to the villain of this story in theirs.
