This is my first book by J.R Ward. I heard many good things about her and her Black Dagger Brotherhood Series, I just never had the chance to read them, yet. So I was excited when I had the chance to read and review this book.
Did I like it ? Yes, sure it was a good book, I liked the story and the concept and it kept me glued to the pages. It was a thriller with lots of action but also romance and plenty of smexy time. I did enjoy that the romance part,while pretty heavy was also was not taking over and carrying away from the story. It just fit really well.
There were a few things that I personally don't really care for..... one the swearing....... don't get me wrong I swear like a sailor and don't mind swearing or the f$ck word but in this case it just seemed forced. it seemed like they had to swear or they were not cool or whatever ... not sure how to explain it other than it felt forced.
Another thing was ....... the over detailed description on some things .... or repeating describing the same thing over and over. Like how heavy and the gear is .... which yes it is .. I know first hand but even if not I think I would have gotten the hint after it mentioned three times, no reason to repeat it even more times.
Characters....I liked them and they were easy to follow and relate to..... of course they all had their issues to work through and some more severe than others.... Though Anne was not my favorite, while I love and look forward to strong woman she was a bit annoying and seemed a bit forced to. Almost like she keep having to proof to herself how strong she is, while yeah at some points that was true others it just seemed overdone.

Overall I enjoyed this book and the story and I would read it again and looking forward to the next book on the series.
I rate it 3 ½ ★
