Especially the thought that Leeta could forgive Mace so easily – even having sex with him before everything was settled. Oh….and the whole point of Mace having to kidnap Leeta – he could have subdued her without having to resort to kidnapping.That’s about the only problem I had with the story itself – other than that the story held my attention – it bordered on dark but didn’t quite make it – at least not in my opinion.  This had to do with the fact that the dark parts were about other non-consequential characters in the book.We really didn’t get to know the main characters well – they seemed to have already been developed before the book even got started.  This took away from the story a bit but possibly the author could have thoughts on doing a “pre-quel” in order to set the story up.  Who knows?  I just kept thinking to myself while reading that there was a book before this one that set up the relationship between Leeta and Mace and this is where we learn who these characters are and what they really mean to each other.Wrap-UpEasy and fast read – some dark elements but it didn’t take away from the story.  More of a romantic suspense with lots of sex!
