I hate to say it but this is the first time that I didn't like a book by this author. I'm so disappointed by this weak plot, it's not even funny. Where did the smart twists go, where did the no OW drama go, where did the action go and so many more things... :'(
By the end, I just wanted to finish the story and be done with it. Even Meryn, who I actually really like, got on my nerves, since she wasn't as smart as usual and at times she came across even more immature and bitchy. Everyone said how she's a genius but I really didn't see her actions as something special.
At the beginning I liked the way the story unfolded. I always love to see the characters from previous books, so that is always a plus. But after the main characters of this story found each other, the plot went downhill. The unnecessary details from Declans sexual past (and right before they mated, might I add) made this story impossible for me to enjoy. I love Alder's books because she doesn't do drama but in this story I felt like I was reading a book by a whole different author. Kari was a great character and made the whole story a bit better, but still...
That's just how I felt about this book, so that doesn't mean you won't enjoy it. Try it and see for yourself, you might end up liking it more than me. :)

""I wanted something special for my mate."
"And yet you brought other women here?"
He shrugged. "I never had sex with them in the bed," he stopped and looked up at the ceiling as if counting. "No not in the bed. Against the bed, one under the bed, one on the nightstand, in the closet, on the bathroom floor, in front of the fireplace..."
WTF! I so don't need to know that, not when they are about to mate!"

There is slight OW drama but it was enough for me to give up on the story.

Me, too. It's a shame. The first book was so funny and good and I also liked the second one but then I slowly just lost interest in them. :/
I'm trying to. ;)
