review 1: So I've decided that going back in time and finding a blacksmith may be the way to go. Cause Aeric is hot! Loved this book, so much better than the first of the series. Yes I still think Ms. Bast does descriptions and details a little too well and too much, but she created this story between Aeric and Emmaline perfectly. The sexual tension and build up to their relationship is just as frustrating for the reader, as it is in the book. Emmaline's past as a broken, strong, kickass assassin is such a great storyline for a reader to love. The plot of this book just makes the series' overall story just so much better and allows the reader to want to know more. I'm sold on this series but I think the next books have a lot to live up too for me after reading Aeric and Emmal... moreine's story.
review 2: It is always hit or miss with me when a read a book by Anya Bast. Let me tell you what I do like about her writing and then what I didn't like about this book. Ms. Bast if great at setting up background information that makes you love the heroes and hate the villians. The female herione is strong and capable; able to take down the bad guy without needing the aid of her lover. Bast masterfully manipulates the plot with unexpected twists and set up information for sequels. Her battle scenes as expertly described blow by blow. The sex scenes are hot! So, what don't I like? Well, first of all I have difficulty keeping straight the names of her characters in this book. They are too similiar: Aileen, Aislinn, Emmaline. What's up with that? Next, the sex is so repetitive that I found myself skipping over the scenes because I was bored! There was not enough good in this book to balance out the bad (The villians were truly creepy and disturbing; but, the good guys just were not good enough). After book one in this series, I truly had my doubts about continuing but knew I would read the second book because I had a 4 for 3 deal and received the second book for free. However, I will not be continuing with the series. With all of the good points, it just was not good enough for me to continue. Sorry Anya! less
