I liked this a lot more than I was expecting. I don't read a lot of paranormal romance but this one made the favorite list of well loved novels such as those by Christine Feehan, Sherrilyn Kenyon and J R Ward. I loved both the main characters as well as the supporting ones, which will likely be in the following books. The only complaint I have is that after all the torture Lachlain should have been a little more messed up for longer. Something more along the lines of Feehan's dark desire hero. This would have been a lot more realistic as well as dramatic.
