Review: Didn't hate it, but certainly didn't love it

I'm on the fence about this book. Though well written, I could not get myself into it, but I made myself finish it because at the price (.99) with the amount of pages written, I had to at least get to the end. I love Alpha males, but this one was borderline creepy. SPOILER ALERT -- I did not understand why he demanded that a bi-racial person was forced to get a head full of weave. In the beginning, the heroine comes off as complacent and timid, almost afraid of her own shadow. Then all of a sudden her characterization switches and she's unafraid to tell the hero her likes and dislikes. To go from one extreme to the other, without any kind of transition that the reader could 'see'/'feel', felt rushed, in my opinion. As if the author was gearing us up for the asinine position the heroine decides to take in the hero's life. I felt as if I was reading the Sisters Wives' book version. Additionally, there were two major conflicts raised - the hero's quasi-disdain toward the heroine's father and the murders of the hero's 'girlfriends' - and color me surprised, neither were explored or came to a satisfactory conclusion. Why, you may be wondering? Well, the book's epilogue - typically, a place where authors wrap a nice, neat bow onto the words that had made reader's soar and yearn for more - was another big cliffie of an unknown person that was part of the hero's life. Personally, I do not like when author's write a book with a cliffie. Sure, you can continue the series, but there, in my opinion, is a right way and most definetly, a wrong way to end a book that an author envisions as a series.At .99, it is worth the read. It was just ... meh for me.
