I'm conflicted about this one. I did enjoy the plot, and for the most part I enjoyed the writing style. The romance had some problems that weren't necessarily deal-breakers for me, but would be for some people, I'm sure. Even if there weren't any deal-breakers, I wasn't a huge fan of the romance anyway. However, the biggest issue I had was the major anatomical flaw in one scene. I'll put it at the end of the review as it could be considered spoilery. So, I don't know. I liked the world, I liked the concept, the writing was good, the characters were ok, but the romance was somewhat off, and there was that cringe-inducing moment that bugged me a lot(see spoiler text below). Still going to check out other books in the series though. 
 POTENTIAL(if mild) SPOILER HERE:(view spoiler)[ the sex scene. That is not how the hymen works. Seriously, this is a problem in a lot of 'first time' sex scenes, but the way he deliberately rips it is just...really not good. Look around online folks, there are several resources that explain why this is wrong. NEVER DO THAT! (hide spoiler)]
