not up to her usual standard. the stabbing was too much for so short a story, Carlyle's characterization wasn't consistent - not sure exactly where it went wrong, but after the hook being so good (as amber's always are), was somewhat let down. i usually love her stuff, and the prior book with these characters was great.

Holy hot mess! Stopped at the half. WTF?

Ralph has finally caught Carlyle's attention but it almost ends before it can begin. While Ralph finds it frustrating I appreciated the time and patience Carlyle shows to make sure Ralph is ready for more and that he knows this is the beginning of a relationship and not just some scene. ( )
