Where to begin? I guess I'll just jump right in and say I probably shouldn't have spent time reading this when I should have been spending it working on 2 essays that are due in 2 days. Working on essays for grad school would have been more fun than reading this book, sadly.The only characters I really liked were Madame Medusala and the mom. The hero and heroine had very little to bring to the story and that is sad, because there was really a lot of potential.  The story felt contrived, the dialogue forced and unfunny.  I could tell the author was going for breezy, funny, romantic banter but it just didn't work, and neither did the sex scenes. I'm far from a prude, it wasn't the biting that made me not like them (referring to the warning in the product description), it was more that there was very little build up, it happened the same day the hero and heroine met.  The romantic/sexual tension that I prefer in books was simply lacking.  The hero and heroine were too easily manipulated by outside forces (her father and Max).I don't know how much this version of the book changed from the original, but this book should have been a short story or a novella instead of a novel.I got the book when it was free from amazon so I don't have buyer's remorse; I didn't hate the book but I would only recommend this with reservations. Also, if I had been in a sillier mood when I read it, it might have worked (giving the benefit of the doubt).Sensuality: a few sex scenesRating: 2 stars
