\"\"<\/a>There are so many things about this book I should hate–boinking and cliffhangers being the top two–yet I love Jane True and this series.<\/p>\n

The story takes off where the previous book ended. Jane and Anyan are newly returned to Rockbill after the dire events of the previous book. And they are an item, mostly, but there is a whole lot left unsaid and undone. <\/p>\n

And then bad things happen.<\/p>\n

But meanwhile, even the boinkish bits crack me up.<\/p>\n

Like a flash I was out of the bathroom, all traces of sadness eradicated by my excitement. I peered around one last time to make sure I was alone, and then I dated toward what I knew was waiting for me Every time I’d been here, it had taken pretty much every ounce of self-control I had not to go and hump the stove dominating Anyan’s kitchen. I don’t normally hump kitchen appliances, but this was no ordinary mod-con.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That just cracks me up, it is so absolutely silly.<\/p>\n

And the silly is what I like so much about this book and series.<\/p>\n

Jane is who she is, and has made it quite clear she isn’t going to change herself for anyone. She enjoys being herself, and that is so absolutely refreshing and wonderful, I even enjoy her over-the-top libido bits.<\/p>\n

And even the cliff-hangerish ending didn’t bother me, because, well, lets just say it was all but a perfect ending. Plus, no one is in danger, we just know (which we knew already) a big bad is coming.<\/p>\n

And then there is Jane’s love of her curves and food:<\/p>\n

Just because I wish to ravage, doesn’t mean you get to eat off my plate<\/em>, I thought, staring down at his shocked expression. Not unless you like me with ribs.<\/em>
\nMy libido whimpered at that thought, Maybe he does like ribs?<\/em> it questioned, alarmed.
\nI looked between my half-eaten burger and the barghest.
\nFuck that<\/em>, I decided, picking up my burger and greedily dipping it in ketchup.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I love Jane True.<\/p>\n

Oh, and I also LOVE the covers for this series. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! to Orbit<\/a> for not giving these books the stereotypical paranormal covers. (You know, the ones that you’re embarrassed to be seen reading in public.) These covers are AWESOME and PERFECT for this series!
