Callypso has been through some seriously hard times in the past. Desmond helped her through it then, but then left her for years. Callypso was left heartbroken and alone, to put her life back together again and to cope with hardships. One of her not-so-healthy coping mechanisms is to avoid any meaningful romantic relationships.
Mate business? Mate business? Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
The protagonist and her best friend both see red flags in the Bargainer's current actions,
All this giving on my end, all this taking on his. This isn't what healthy relationships are made of.
I would have hoped to se Callypso be more strong-willed than her lusty siren side, but maybe she'll get to spread her own wings more in the sequels. Maybe I'll even continue reading this series.

Personally, it was hyped up so much that I expected something magnificent, and it was just okay. There wasn't particularly anything memorable except for the base premise itself.
I found the plot to be more interesting than the romance, which will be the reason why I continue the series.
Other than that though, I find reading a Wikipedia synopsis will be what I end up doing, if the second book is not better than the first.
