I had to struggle to finish this book. I skimmed parts of the book because the writing was so bad. I had heard great things about the Dark-Hunter series so I was expecting more.

The heroine is a sex therapist, but she can't be that good because after one bad sexual experience, she has turned into a hermit. What's with these heroines who turn away from men after one bad experience years ago in college? I couldn't believe that she could help others with their sexual problems when she couldn't help herself with her own sexual issues!

The romance and sex are really vanilla. Julian is supposed to have bedded thousands of women and is also the son of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, but there's not much heat from him. What happens between Julia and Grace is more like something from a Silhoutte book rather than something you'd read from say JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Now THOSE books are passionate and intense. The hero and heroine in this book don't reach those levels. A pity really.
