Cold Light by Michelle Frost
2.0

This had a lot of potential, and I'm rather disappointed with its execution. 

I honestly feel like this book started right in the middle of the story. The two main guys had basically already been in a 'relationship' for a few years now, thus we completely missed them falling for each other. This meant that it was very hard for me to build a connection with them as people or to care about what happened within their romance.
It also seemed to me that, despite them being in a 'relationship' already, they hardly knew each other and didn't get to know much about each other throughout this book either. Their relationship was mostly based on sex. 
The couple definitely fell a bit flat and felt fairly superficial. 

It's truly a shame because the premise of this book sounded great to me and these characters could have worked really well together. 
I love romance books where one of them is big and strong while the other is fragile and pretty, especially if there is a lot of protectiveness going on and has a hint of betrayal. This book had all of that, and thus should have totally been right up my alley. Too bad none of it was done particularly well here.
