I purchased this title on allromance.com but I tend to post all of my book reviews on Amazon, hence the lack of verification. I've read Ms. Lockwood's work previously and I thought this story would have promise. In a nutshell, it was just too much. I know in some instances, romance has elements of fantasy but this story was just tasteless and too far fetched. Reading the synopsis, I thought that there would be promise in a complicated tale but with it being a short story, my expectations were too high. I didn't connect with any of the characters and I found Raina and Hunter's actions to be deplorable. Your brother just died and you're moving in on his girlfriend before his body is even cold? Raina sleeping with Hunter so soon was the beginning of the end for me. I will continue to read Ms. Lockwood's work but this wasn't my cup of tea. Writers should always tell a tale as they see fit but I think this could've potentially been a  good story had it been developed a bit more and the characters made better decisions.
