So I foolishly started reading this book in the car on my way to a children's birthday party. Mistakes were made, but starting this book was not one of them! A friend warned me it was more erotica than romance, and she was right, but then all of a sudden my brain thought maybe halfway through, "Wait...when did all this romance and plot start?" There was mystery, intrigue, and character development with the sex scenes. I'm not knocking it, and I actually enjoyed that things got fleshed out a bit more. Was it still a lot of sex? Absolutely, and I'm thrilled for Esther and her gentlemen. Am I excited for the next book next year, too? You bet. Was there probably a lot less substantial plot than some other books I've read? Yeah, and that's OK too. This book was a great companion on some recent evenings of insomnia. Not too heavy, a little bit (OK, A lot a bit) of spice, and a dynamic cast of characters to enjoy. What more could a woman want?
