I really don't know what to make of this book. It was really just ok. I didn't really think that the characters' struggles were very well developed. Yes, I understand what each of them had been through but I wasn't brought to care about them. I always kept thinking that they should have been more open and honest with each other many of the early conflicts could have been avoided. I know that an author will throw in misunderstandings as a way to further the story, but here it was done in a way where I just felt like they were going around in a circle and it needed to break. 
 I could feel the growing attraction Emma had for Lachlain. She kept saying how she just wanted to go home, she would never love him, etc. etc. She didn't even have the decision to stay or leave because she was held against her will so we could really say that she ended up staying because she ultimately loved him. I felt like her "true feelings" just magically appeared at the full moon. 
 Lachlain was a better example of his changing feelings towards Emma. During his thought processes the reader could definitely tell how he gradually came to really care for her even though all his attempts to show her were met with disdain from Emma. 
 I liked the idea of the other vampires hunting her, and I would have liked that storyline followed through a bit better, but this is a book more focused on the romance aspect so everything else takes a backseat. 
 Truthfully I think that the next book in the series sounds a lot better than this book. I probably would have started with that book (technically book 3) but I wanted to start at the beginning to get a little more of a background (I know book 1 is a short story in an anthology and this is considered book 2, but to me it's the beginning). I do look forward to reading the next book, but beyond that point it just depends. This might not be a series I keep up with religiously.
