This book has a wonderfully built world, rich with detail. Javier and Kiram are beautifully wounded and are perfect for each other. However, this was not Book 1. It is like the first half of a book. The end did not resolve anything and left off on a huge cliffhanger (not that I have a problem with that as I have purchased Book 2 and plan to read it very soon). Although, I had one major issue. (view spoiler)[ I CANNOT believe that Javier could not find a way not to sleep with hookers!!!!! From the blurb for book 2 I know Kiram forgives him but seriously. That is not cool at all and I hope Kiram makes him suffer. I am not sure I even want Kiram to forgive him. *breathing* rant over. (hide spoiler)] Despite this, I give it 4 stars.
