This is my first time reading anything from this author and I really tried to like this book but it just left me cold! I didn't mind the age difference storyline or the interracial thing, however, I can not overlook the lead male character, Cade. I totally hated him, there were no redeeming qualities to him. He cheated Shakara with such animosity and apathy because of his attraction to her at such a young age. Then as soon as she turned 21, he confesses his undying love, WTH!! Really??!! The transition from hating her to loving her was not clear.  These two characters have absolutely nothing in common. Opposites do attract, I get that, however, shouldn't there be something more than sex to hold them together. I felt outside the bedroom, the two crashed and burn. I have to admit I was a bit creeped out by the love scenes seeing as how his main source of contention was the age thing but kept referring to her as "baby girl". Eww! Also, Shakara was no shrinking violet, she made alot of difficult choices and managed to stand on her own but as soon as she got with Cade, she became so malleable, she stop speaking up or standing up for herself. It was soooo fustrating to read the part where she went to him for help with her tail tucked between her leg. This was not the same girl from the start of the book! The heroine definitely needed more character development. This book is definitely not a keeper for me but am not giving up on this author.
