Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 06 7, 2013
Characters: Sara McKenna and Brent Conley had been enemies since the second grade when she stole all his friends and made him envy her easy life.  Sara was the coddled daughter of Fintan McKenna, the man Brent eventually came to work for as a body guard and also became like a son to him.  When Sara is just about to start her career she and Brent are thrown together and find that the hurtful feelings they have for each other really might be something else.  But Sara's daddy wants them together or they won't get his fortune and now both of them feel insecure about how the other is feeling.Writing Style: So I was in the middle of two other books that just couldn't hold my interest when I started reading this one and found I liked the characters. I am a fan of romance over action, but this one had both, but it was a rocky road to a relationship.  I did find that the bumbling romance went on too long for adults to be misunderstanding the feelings of each other and the redundant internal dialogue got to be tedious. I found myself skimming the last 30% even though that was where most of the sex and action happened.Plot:  Sara was her daddy's little princess - literally.  Her father was the king of the Fire Witches of Indiana and he let little Sarah have anything her little heart wanted and that included avoiding her obligation to produce a full-blooded child until after her graduation from college.  Then he required her to mate with her long time enemy and his own personal confident, Brent Conley.  They both fought their feelings for each other thinking the other didn't care for them, and believing that the other's motives were not true. An enemy witch clan is aiming to kill Sara and Brent and they have to work together to avoid being killed.Romance: There were misunderstandings, jealousy, purposeful antagonizing, and desperate longing until these two finally stopped fighting each other and their feelings.  It was over 65% of the book before anything really happened between the main characters, and even then, it was misinterpreted. I did get frustrated with the adolescent dialogue and actions and hopelessly waited for someone to be the adult.Sex and Violence Rating: Rx - Very few, somewhat descriptive Sex scenes including oral sex. ("rod" "organ" and "junction" are favorite words), a few F-words, some killing by burning3 Stars - It Had Good Parts, but I would not buy any sequels
