Apparently, I am alone in my perception of this book and I am okay with that. We are each entitled to our own opinions; however, I just wonder if I read the same book as other reviewers.Sigh...now with that said, on to the actual review.The very first sentence starts the book with a sexual interlude. I don't particularly care for books that begin in that manner because no story line has been established at that point.At about 24% on my Kindle, sex was still very much the dominant theme but Ms. Grey attempted to weave a bit of story into it. At 36%, I started noticing and becoming irritated by the magnitude of typographical and grammatical errors in a novella length book. I discovered a run-on sentence that I actually had to read twice to understand what Ms. Grey was attempting to convey. Very little or no editing occurred in this book. And oh, sex is still very much the prevailing theme at this point. I found it trite and quite tedious that the story had not progressed past this point. It's perfectly alright to include sex in a story. H-o-o-o-owever, it is NOT alright to base an entire story on it when the book was described as a paranormal romance.......NOT erotica!Halfway into the book the story begins to take shape. The "story" portion only covered about 20% of the book while the remaining 80% was sex...sex...and oh, more sex! The sex scenes were not even that great and began to seem repetitive after a while.Needless to say, neither this book nor the teaser at the end has remotely sparked my interest in the next book. A big ole P-A-S-S for me.
