This is the second in a series. After reading the reviews about book number one, I skipped it and thought I'd give #2 a try. I was a little disappointed.

It starts off nicely, with a lot of insight into the heroine because of the numerous diary entries. Unfortunately, there were a little to many of them. - Although it may just feel that way because there was very little information from the hero's perspective.
He had no past to speak of, no family waiting for him, no plans for the future, and frankly, besides the physical attraction, I still wonder what makes the heroine drawn to him.

I felt as if the obstacles they faced were repetative until the ending. At this point the romance disappears and the "black cobra" story line takes over. I know it is setting up the next book in the series, but I wanted more happily ever after at the end.

If you like Laurens, and must read this book, put it on your waiting list, I wouldn't recommend buying it new. As for me, I will probably skip the rest of the series.
