Found the book started off slow but by the first quarter I was hooked. I did find character development was also a bit slow but by the end of the book most of the main characters were fleshed out. I am now on the second book as it is hard to put down now. The romance is believable though I would have liked this to be aspect to have been delayed more than a main thing by the middle of the book but that is a personal opinion because it is clear that it is the main driver of the story.
