3.0

I enjoyed this book more for the potential of the series than for this book itself. As much as I liked Janie and Cara I wanted to punch Talen in the face for most of this novel. Here's the thing...normally I enjoyed the alpha male, mine, storyline. But the reason it works for me is ultimately they always get their comeuppance and accept that the woman they've fallen for is just as strong as they are, though maybe in different ways. Talen, for me, never does that. He's as determined to have his way at the end of the story as he was at the beginning, and really it's Cara that somehow seems to just accept it by the end of the story. Sure she still went after her sister, but Talen never accepts that she should.

That being said, I do really like the world here. I'm extremely curious to see where it all builds to as we get to see more of the world in later novels. Emma and Dage are definitely going to be a handful. :)
