I picked this book up because it was recommeded to me by so many people. I have to say, I am not exactly sure why, except for the fact that the sex scenes were pretty steamy. I can enjoy a good sex scene, but what I really look for in a book is character development and deep, intricate story lines. This book failed on both accounts. The book was not terrible by any means, but the characters were very one-dimensional, even the two leads. It was disapointing after so many people recommeded it, however, I will likely give more in this series a shot - maybe it was only this brother in the brotherhood that I didn't care tha much for, or perhaps since it is the first in a series, I need to read the subsequent books to get more character development.
