I really wanted to like this book, but it needed a few more rounds of editing. There were enough grammar and spelling errors to pull me out of reading, and several times, the plot accelerated so quickly, answering questions and solving puzzles that had only been set the chapter before, that I almost lost the motivation to keep reading. The only hook throughout the entire book is the romance, which has never been sufficient enough to be my only motivation for reading a book; I don't read books that are just the romance genre, and this bordered that too much for my liking.
With more edits and drafts, it could have been a really amazing book. I loved the idea and the characters, and I liked it enough to keep reading and to hope it was the beginning of a series. That being said, my friends consider me a harsh critic when it comes to writing, so give the book a try and see if it's to your tastes.
