Mia never quite hit the mark for me, all though pleasant moments in between made me momentarily forget that my overall feeling was of letdown. Of course this is vampire erotica, and should I expect something more? Yes, because I liked Anne James' writing and with a little more patients and care this could have been a very good romance.In the beginning I felt that Ms. James' was pulling from the erotica life form '50 Shades' has created. I can't say for sure because I don't know which came first but still, we have a male lead who is a true dominant. I had a hard time liking Lucas and understanding why Mia was so drawn to him. Even if her husband wasn't the most loving partner, his body is barely cold when she begins falling hard and fast for our "hero". Lucas leaves a lot to be desired at the start of this story. He is rude, demanding, and quite frankly as jackass. In spite of that Ana still tingles for him, in those traditional human loves and vampire kind of ways.Despite all that I would still suggest giving Mia a read. The writing is solid, the heat is positive and you are able to overlook the many things that might drive you batty for the sake of finishing the story. This book is clearly written to get wives feeling the spark and for it's success I must give it a solid three stars.
