Michelle - I hadn't known beforehand that the book was so dark and grim. And from what I hear, the gore factor stays the same throughout the series.

Thanks for reviewing this book. I must admit the s...

Thanks for reviewing this book. I must admit the series interests me so I've bought all the book, but read none. (I'm able to find them all at Goodwill stores for either a buck or fifty cents). I had no idea there was so much gore. I might have been able to handle that before I had kids, but now my life is a "no gore" zone. I appreciate you reviewing a book thats not a "new release" and giving a "new to you" series a chance.

Jazz - Thanks for the info! That was what I'm hoping for; for the series to grow on me. But it better happen with the next book or two or I'm moving on.

I think I read somewhere that Eve won't be having kids - or that the author won't be writing about that.

FYI pretty much all the books deal with either serial killers or pretty gross murders. Don't expect any downgrading of the grisly factor

You may want to give it more than a couple of books. I hope I put this right, but they (the books) sort of 'grew' with time and the times. The writing and relationship smoothed out and got betters the series wore on.

I am finding that the latest books don't seem to be going anywhere, the relationship has progressed as far as it probably can as I don't see Eve popping out any kids, and they have already dealt with their childhood issues.

Penelope - I'm going to give it one or two more books. Things better improve between Eve and Roarke (connection-wise for me) and I hope there's not too much gore. Maybe the gore was limited to this book? *hopes*

I haven't read this series either and I've been very curious. I've resisted for so long because it just didn't intrigue me on it's own even though everyone recommends it. Great review.

No. I'm not interested in reading any more of these. The subject matter is way too disturbing pour moi! Incest, rape, child abuse, mutilation, etc etc...holy cripes! I got a stomach ache reading this because I was so grossed out. Ugh. I like unicorns and rainbows in my romance novels...hee hee! :^)

Penelope - OMG yes! How many bottles of wine did Roarke open and let breathe? LOL

I wish I was as captivated by Roarke's character as many other people were but it just didn't work out that way for me. Have you read any of the other books in this series?

Dude! Finally someone else who isn't blown away by this book...yee haw! I also didn't buy their chemistry, the gross subject matter freaked me out, and although I think Roarke probably gets more interesting in later books, I thought he was a pansy-ass in this one (putting out bottles of wine to breathe while Eve kicked all the bad guys' butts!). Great review!

Sparklybearsy - I'll be waiting for Roarke to seduce me. And he'd better! LOL I hope there's a better connection between them in book 2.

Oh it gets better and better i promise!! Let Roarke seduce you! hehe!

Eve and Roarke together for me is just wonderful, they both have demons in their past that they still deal with and we see them go through bad times yet fall in love too, makes me all of a swoon!

Hope you connect better with book two hun =)
