This was an exciting, enjoyable read.  The first in a planned new series, this book sets the stage well for more adventures in future installments.  The main characters fit well together; each has certain insecurities, was easy for me to relate to, and also, had some unique strengths.  For the most part, I really enjoyed their interactions together, but there were a few times that Marie's insecurities and feelings of low self-esteem sort of got old and irritating.  This became less of a problem for me in the second half of the book and I honestly feel that her character is growing and evolving as she begins to sort out some of her inner turmoil.  With Henry, I occasionally had a problem with the way he tended to shut-down and close-off his feelings - seemingly treating Marie with cold indifference.  It was a relief when later in the story most off these issues were satisfactorily resolved.Another favorite character I can not wait to find out more about in future adventures is the boss-man, Abram.  In this book, he's a wealthy, arrogant manipulator, often compared to a snake.  He is fascinating and mysterious.  I am looking forward to finding out more about him and learning if he truly is as powerful as he seems to think he is, or as slimy as Marie finds him.  My dollar says we are just seeing the tip of his iceberg and that he is, indeed, a truly evil antagonist.  It will be fun to find out more in future episodes, I think.Speaking of Iceberg, let us not forget to mention the beautiful, wild stallion who seems to be empathically connected to both Marie and Henry. Proud and strong, fearsome and fearless, I loved him.  There were more fabulous characters, as well, and I hope to see more of each of them in future adventures.  Recommended - a rousing, fun romp that fans of paranormal romance adventure should relish.
