Okay so I decided to continue reading this series, in all - eight parts, with the hope that this would be tied up. But it seems that there will be a few more installments to come.So Grace has finished her trials and is going to challenge Amber for the head table. This way she can ensure that she keeps David and rids herself of Amber. But Grace's plans are flawed since she will become the placeholder of the coveted spot and if someone challenges her in the future she will be forced to leave, and leave David.So of course this goes as predicted, and yes David does a 180 so fast it makes your head spin. But, since his shift was so quick and without any real major revelation or confession it had zero emotional impact.A story like this, with themes like this, if meant to have a romantic feel to them should come with a level of trust that you can sense in the characters. Grace is placed into situations that are outside of her comfort zone and although aroused, David does a piss-poor job of being a responsible guide on her journey. Without that bond of trust the whole story just lacked for me. It wasn't a romance and it wasn't erotic enough just to be something hot to read. I feel that since the attempt was to make it an erotic romance, and that did not seem to be displayed, I just could never find any way to pull a connection from anything in this story.I hope that with a bit of angst from Amber and with Grace and David finding some type of common ground that maybe there will be something that can be accomplished in this series, but this one is just not for me. I gave it a good shot and my journey ends with this installment.
