This book had a good story and character development. It started with hot and steamy dreams shared by Sevan and Lorelei, but the dialogue was a little too much when they first meet in person. Once we understood conflict between Stegian and Lorelei and her connection with Christian things picked up quickly. I also loved the interaction between Jordan and Nina and looked forward to their story as well as Christian's.  And their could even be a story on Jacquelyn--she was a real surprise! While not a favorite, this book grabbed me enough that I'll buy any follow-on stories.
