Wow Ms Laurann. 
 A new series for me this was interesting. I liked that Ms Dohner went a little dark here, because it worked in this instance. Now I'm not saying this was BDSM or not HEA. I liked that the H wasn't warm and fuzzy, he was a different race from the h and their customs didn't mesh. His anger lead him to do some very cruel things, but in the end it worked out 
 I also liked that Mira didn't roll over, but I thought the balcony scene was a little over the top. I did like the end result. I love MS Dohner's writing and I'm intrigued as to where this series will go.
