Kind of a 1.5. Like her other stuff. Oh well.

I've enjoyed the author's other stories enough to keep reading her, but if she's new to you, I wouldn't start here.

There's heaps of potential here, but it wasn't fully realized. It's a reunited lovers story, but the reasons for the lovers to have been separated is really glossed over and the heroine's fear that she'll again be abandoned by the heroes is taken care of in one sex scene. That's it, problem resolved. Except that (1) that's not how humans really react to things and (2) the lack of trusting communication comes up later in a way that had the potential to destroy them all. But still, it wasn't really addressed, it was just glossed over. There are elements here that made me really want to like this story, but the lack of believable character interactions really ... eh, I know it's erotic romance, but I need a story I can believe to make me care.
