I'm not really a paranormal reader, but this was free and it sounded intriguing. And so far, the reviews are on both sides. So I decided what the heck. I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed this. As far as being a romance, it doesn't have much conflict in the way of the hero and heroine. In fact, there's almost none, and I found the whole light ball thing a big let down in the end. All that build up and then...nothing. I understand why she chose to do this, b/c she didn't have time to start an apocalypse, but... as a personal preference, I really hate long build ups like that that tease me and then poof, problem neatly solved in the nick of time. Just a personal preference. It's frustrating for me. lol The heroine annoyed me at first. I almost didn't make it through the first chapter, because she acted like a spoiled child, constantly pecking at at Nikos to get his attention, but I did eventually warm up to her. So if you're in the first chapter and you want to throw it agianst the preverbial wall, keep reading. It does get better.And I LOVED Nikos. I'm not usually much for the alpha male. The whole beat your chest thing is usually a huge turn off for me. But he was SEXY. During the sex scenes, she went a little over the top with the expressions for things, often describing the same feeling over and over again in very flowery, over the top language. Just not my style.But overall, I really loved the played between the hero and heroine, loved the heroine's spunky attitude, and it ended up being a very sweet and spicy romance. Great emotion and great description. I really enjoyed this read. I may even look up more books from this author. I like her style.
