Very hot love scenes, believable romance and love story, great setup for future books. Honestly when I first read this book I found all the details and different perspectives from various characters to be a bit off-putting. I was immediately interested and involved in the love story between Wrath and Beth but couldn't understand what was going on with all these other characters. It was irritating. On a re-read, I skipped all the scenes with the Lessers. Read every moment with Butch, though, whom I thought might wind up the hero in the book. He seemed just as romantic as Wrath for much of the story and does a good job of setting up his character for his own future book). JR Ward sure knows how to write and I haven't read much else that so intimately develops the characters and keeps the interest and intensity high for future books.
