For me, the story was not particularly well-written, the characters were not particularly engaging, the plot was not at all solid. I cannot say in all honesty that I particularly enjoyed reading it. 
 It was one of those romances where the relationship is built on mutual lust rather than a steady growth of feelings towards the other person. Within a couple of chapters she's naked in his arms, has no idea who he is, he knows that he's using her to get to her father, whom he intends to kill, his "desire is evident" and they kiss - just to be clear, this is not a sex scene, but the characters do not even know each other at this point! When it does get to sex scenes, despite being a flop, the first one really rankled me. The heroine is not a virgin and yet she mentions, in her inner dialogue, at least three times that "this man is huge. I hope I can accomdoate him" - which, to me, just screams of the author stroking her hero's ego. 
 This book did not go down all that well. I am not chomping at the bit to read the author's other works.
