The first 20% percent of this is just one big info-dump that serves largely to excuse the fact that Adare is one very, very selfish lover. I suppose it also gives A LITTLE bit of background about the way vampire mates hold the vampire's soul until the two are mated. I have to admit that this is an interesting idea, but it isn't explored at all. Nor is any background on the characters given. They don't have a single conversation before entering the mating chamber. I do understand that this is just a brief prequel to the series, but it fell pretty flat for me.As I said, 20% infer-dump and then 75% sex. (There is 5 or so percent at the end dedicated to introducing the male characters for the rest of the series.) The problem really arose for me because I didn't find the sex particularly appealing. It wasn't very creative. They didn't do very much and it basically boiled down to a pounding. Though I can't even say that was all that rough. The whole thing left me with a feeling of 'meh.'I'll grant that the writing was pretty good and it seemed well edited, but I'm not all that impressed with the rest of it.
