Review: Good but lacks the X factor

I really had no idea how to write this review.  On one hand the novel offered what seems an intriguing story line and some really hot romance, and is well written but something doesn't really gel.  The jump to character change of POV is disjointed, and the sudden interest in two men doesn't work although it should have because the men are hot enough but there is no real build up in her attitude, and they don't do much except whine about how much they love her. Ciera cries a lot which is nice for a vampire I suppose(means she is the good guy) but something just don't fit.  The king is her dad and everyone knows but her so why is she forced into confessing her behaviour and treated badly when punishment is not going to happen.  There are these extra little bits that could have been ommitted or refocused into expanding the personalities of both the heroes and the bad guy, and maybe just a little more of Ciera.  Beauty is not enough to be a reason for two men to be so caught up, and a virginn for 300 hundred years makes no sense because she has then not explored her own character.  There is nothing wrong with the virgin part but there is in the 300 years as it takes passion and life away from Ciera.This book had potential to really be up there amongst the best.  I hope some rewriting and editing occurs at some stage as it is a shame to waste this potential.  Everything in me screamed to love this book but that X factor that forgives errors is just not there.
