I see why people say this is a very average book because it is. Maybe it's the first book of a series syndrome where there were many unfulfilled plot lines so it felt unfinished. I did enjoy the hero and heroine dynamics even if it did get tiring. There was just too much of everything, too many characters and drama that I didn't care for, but I loved the heroine forward focus of her undressing him and her taking the lead in many encounters.
