**Mild Spoilers**
I can't believe I'm saying this, but this is by far my least fave book out of this series. Granted these books aren't what I would call truly deep stories/or plots, or even characters. But they always seemed to have just enough of what I liked or gone deep enough, in order for me to over look everything else that may be wrong. Sadly, that's not the case here.
The main character True, I love. I love everything about his character. Those of you who have followed this series knows that there is not much else or new that I can say about a New Species character like True, so when I say that he's beyond awesome, hot, sweet, endearing & sexy, you can appreciate it, right? So he's the reason why this book got 3 stars from me. Now, onto why everything else failed for me in the 11th installment of this series...
How many times is the author going to have other Species barging into another's apartment when they are having sex or trying too? This has happened every single time since book 1. How many times is security gonna be breached at Homeland or Reservation? She keeps stating how secure this place is by showing you all the guards & trained associates/high tech security they have. Yet in every single book, people are still able to sneak in undetected until its too late.
As you can see, I'm sick of these scenarios. Then there is his mate, Jeanie, she ( the author) was getting on my nerves with the constant references of how many Species Jeanie has helped while in captivity. I got it the 3rd time it was mentioned. I get it. The woman is a saint. Move the plot along already. And how many times was she force drugged? Even after she was rescued & taken to Homeland. There's no way she could have taken all those drugs back to back without any side affects or dying. (Heck most of those drugs killed some of the New Species or caused them to be ill.) Especially when we are constantly reminded how fragile she is & the fact that she's human. Yet nothing happened to her. I mean she didn't even throw up. None of that was believable to me.
And the fact of why her boss used that breeding drug on her wasn't really touched on til like 63% in the book. By that time the explanation & the way it came about just fell flat for me. So it all left me like...
The mating.. You would not have to convince me to legally mate someone like True but when it also came to the practical aspect of her predicament, (Keeping her out of prison til she was proved innocent) This is me running to get those damn mating papers...
We'll cross the bridge of "Does he really love me later" even though it's painfully obvious that he already does.
But still, here is Jeanie denying to embrace her common sense in this matter...
*rolls eyes*
Because of all this, it also took me forever to finish this book. Usually I fly through these stories. But it was bound to happen. I can't love them all. Just surprised by how much I was bothered by this one. If you follow this series I would say read it. You may like it. I didn't though.
Will I be back for book 12, "Darkness"? You better believe it. I was quite intrigued with him. But I already know who he's going to end up with, from the way things played out here. That doesn't stop me from being curious to see how it unfolds though. I pray Ms. Dohner that Darkness' story unfolds much better than True's did.
