Tempting the Beast by Lora Leigh
3.0
2.5 ★★★
This book was just ok for me. I think it is just a case of FOS and that [a:Lora Leigh|2614|Lora Leigh|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1211464290p2/2614.jpg] just hasn't found her groove yet with the storyline. The story and series have great potential, I just felt that it wasn't explored enough in this book. Every other page was a sex scene and you got very little plot line in between. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for a very good HOT sex scene, however, I don't think that those alone can carry an entire book.
Callan & Merinus did not feel very tangible to me as a couple. When I read a story I want the central characters to jump off the page, grab me by shirt & yank me into their world. With Callan & Merinus I felt very disconnected from them and that, and that coupled with lack of world building, made for a difficult read. I will continue with this series simply because of all the positives that I've heard about and because I absolutely love her other series'. I just pray that it gets better.
