Review: Excellent world building, some steamy sex

I purchased this book after doing a search on Amazon for erotic fiction. So when the sex didn't come until a full 60% (or more) into the book, I was a little... frustrated. However, that's not saying that this wasn't a great book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I just wouldn't label it as erotic fiction. It's fiction with a couple of steamy sex scenes. The world building here is thorough and detailed, and the characters are well defined. The central mystery is a good one, and is hidden well throughout the book. It doesn't hit you over the head with "hey stupid, this is what's going on", but speaks to you as if you are an intelligent reader.The sex - when it finally appears, is well done, steamy, and satisfying. It ends in a way that makes you want to read more (but not in a cliffhanger sort of way).I will definitely read the next book in the series, as these characters have really grabbed me. For a first offering from the author, it is exceedingly well written, proofread, and assembled. It is a relatively fast read, and well worth the investment.
