I'm still shaking my head at the way this story went from being a definite 5 star book to a 3 stars. First of all, I loved the unique background for the heroine. I've never read a book where the heroine is born into a polygamous cult only to escape into the arms of the hero. The writing definitely needed more work! She would switch from 1st person to 3rd and back again leaving me confused. And the runons and repeated words in the sentence made it where I had to skim or try to fill in the blanks on my own.Anyways, back to the story itself. Everything went along well until Promise and Gray finally did the dirty dance, which seemed a little forced (writing-wise). All of a sudden it's 'I love you' every other word! I don't think they had much else to say to each other. Lots if telling and sexing! Got a little boring. And there was only one dramatic kinda fight scene and then things just sorta resolved itself on its own... Promise and the Defiant MC didn't have to do anything! No rescue mission. No active take down of this horrible and oppressive cult. Nothing! All they did was hangout at the house and the bar. Cook and bake and talk... I'm just disappointed, bc I had thought I might have found a 3rd favorite MC author after Joanna Wylde and Madeline Sheehan... No such luck.
