I read Claimed, the first kindred bride book and while I rated that book highly and liked it, I was still frustrated by the weak romantic formula.  The snippets of story that introduced Sylvan and Sophia however, were well done and made me hope their story might be better.  I'm sorry to say I was disappointed.Sophia was tough and sassy in Claimed and she has her moments here, but is such a whiny baby I didn't like her much.  Sylvan is hot and sympathetic.  The author has a gift for drawing her male characters very well indeed; sincere, devoted, gorgeous and willing to put up with all manner of ridiculous behavior on the part of their women.  Sophia was not a character I sympathized with, rather like her sister in the first book, I wanted to slap her upside the head.  Oh Sylvan, can you go down on me for hours and hours, but don't bite me, mkay?  It's okay to take your time in a relationship but to be so selfish and clueless while asking everything of your partner is really unforgivable.I liked very much the interaction between Deep and Lock twins and Kat, but hopefully when that book comes out later this year I'll have learned my lesson and resist purchasing it.This second book was not as hot as the first, less sex and when the main couple finally consummate their relationship, it was over too soon.  Silly, slapstick interaction with her and the "tharp," c'mon, who didn't see any of that coming?  Graphic language, explicit sex, a nice long book, but unfortunately not good enough.
