Review: Worth a read
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 07 7, 2014
I hadn't read this series until I bought the box set.  I downloaded the sample of book one last year but it didn't grab me so I never bought it.  However, the $2.99 limited time offer for the box set was too good of a deal to pass up.  I struggled a bit with book one.  Two-thirds of the way through book one, things became a lot more interesting.  Book three was the best so far and even had some laugh out loud moments, especially the scenes after Ran "loses" his body.This series reminds me a bit of LKH's Anita Blake series before that author became more focused on furthering her polyamory agenda rather than writing a good story.  I like that the main character of this series can love more than one man without it turning into an orgy.  There are still a number of characters that I don't like, including all of the heroine's love interests, but I realized that's okay because this is such an interesting read.  I hate Monica but I can't wait to see what she does next to p*ss off the heroine.  I find Paul's new found confidence, bordering on arrogance, extremely annoying but I am going to stick around to see if he ever gets knocked down a peg or two.  That's the sign of a good author:  someone who makes me enjoy reading about characters I absolutely loathe.  Bravo, Ms. Pace!Unfortunately, I could only give this box set 3 stars because book one almost made me pass on the entire series.  Also, there were some editing mistakes in book one where words had been crossed out but were still there, among other things.  On the bright side, books two and three were far better edited and far better stories, which makes this box set a steal even at the higher price.
