Review: Great series! (But then there's all the talking)

Potential spoilers.....Well, I got about half way through Retribution (fourth in the series) and became very perplexed. The first book of this series is downright emotional - I cried more than once. I found the story to be enticing and beautiful. As I read on, I became aggravated. Only a week has passed in these four novels. I feel like, as a reader, I need more than just a week's worth of time for plot time and character development.Don't get me wrong - this story is very well written! It is spotless and the author doesn't leave any real plot holes - but she swings it too far the other way. To ensure there are no plot holes, the author is constantly having the characters talk. I mean, seriously, that's all they do. Talk out loud about things we, as readers, can figure out. Dialogue is way too heavy. I felt like the author wanted to make sure that women out there weren't going to be mad about the "man in charge" type of thing, so she spent pages upon pages making Quin this sensitive, caring, and boring character.She holds out the sex in this series,  which is completely fine - but to be honest, if I'm reading a book for the hot sex scene, I want it in book number one (two at the latest).  If i'm reading it to actually enjoy the story (which I was), I don't need graphics. I feel like it is not well balanced and out of place. I read four books to get to five chapters of graphic sex? At this point, I want to skip the sex and get back to the real story at hand.Overall, it is a good story line and I was pleased with the first book. Although, I can't find the patience to finish this last one.
