I liked this book but at about 128 pages I wish it had been a bit longer so a few things cold have been explained. For example why was Luna considered a Darkmage for aiding couples with fertility? Their Gods seem to be a couple, so is it only by their will pregnancy can occur? I also would have liked to know more about the world and its cities. Were they a part of a country? Who ruled over them all? What exists outside of the cities and the Beast Lands? Also is this another world all together? Why do they speak in modern vernacular, with a few "old sayings" that are what we use today?Luna was an interesting heroine, a midwife and Bodymage. She is smart, resourceful, and follows her instinct to help women without concern for her own safety or stability. However she decides as a child not to have children because they are "parasites" and then sticks to that decision as an adult. That seemed odd to me, especially since she is driven my magical forces to be fertility specialist. I wish there had been more of an explanation as to why she still refused to have children as an adult. Especially since she mated a man who's entire culture is dependent upon children being born. Dar was straight forward with his wants and needs. No brooding for him, only focus and determination. It was nice to read. However his falling for a woman he knew doesn't want kids and has taken measures to ensure that she doesn't get pregnant. His quick concessions made no sense since the entire reason he was searching for her was to bring Luna back to help his people conceive. The resolution was a cop out to me, I wish they really dealt with their issues. The sex scenes were mostly hot, and while I enjoyed this book I doubt I will be continuing on with this series.
