I didn't like that the main characters story didn't end and that you had to read the next book to see the outcome.

I agree with the other 3 star reviewers where they say that they didn't connect with the main characters. There are loads of other summaries so I'll just make a few points.

+++Spoilers+++
Both main characters had trauma/drama in their pasts (it is NA after all) but the way they worked it out was a little strange to say the least. The h wasn't easy to like and as one of the other reviewers said, she's a bit like Bella from Twilight. I'm not sure why she was so fixated on the H, I didn't make that connection through the writing. She was pretty obsessed with him and it felt quite one-sided at times and I hate that. The other thing is that I don't feel like the H's history with Rae (his friend and ex-lover) was dealt with properly and the issues the h had with his lies/omissions on the topic were never addressed. Overall I wasn't sure that this was a love to end all loves with a great hea.

I  don't think that I'll read any more of these books

I didn't like the main character of the story , it took him to long to get the bad guy, and get the girl in the end.

The story was quite good, however, I don't like "cliff-hangers" that end in the middle of a story.  That's why I didn't rate this book as a "5".

I guess I'm just not cool enough to enjoy this book as much as others seem to have. I waded through it on the recommendation by a friend. I thought I would appreciate the history and love the story, but I just...didn't. It was a great story, but I just didn't feel like I wanted to stick with it at all. I did finish it and didn't particularly care for the ending either. I wish I could've liked it more.

I really liked this story and could not put it down. I felt like the characters were well developed and liked that Nikolai has such a dangerous profession and Daisy fell in love with him anyway.

What I didn't find very believable was that Nick got the idea into both Daisy and her Father's heads that killing for vengeance was okay; I don't believe that they would not have some emotional consequences of their actions.

What turned me off the most was that during all of the sex scenes, Daisy's vagina was repeatedly referred to as her c*nt. Really? First it was in Nick's POV and I didn't know if that was meant just because of the underdeveloped emotional side of his personality and hoped the use of that word would go away. It didn't. Then it the term was repeated in Daisy's POV, and I just can't believe a character like Daisy's (let alone any woman) would refer to her nether region as her c*nt.

I felt like the story was a little long, but for the most party was very well and will keep me interested for the second book in this series.

I avoid books with cliffhangers at all costs and this one didn't have that. But it ended very abruptly and it wasn't until I checked the author for more books, that I realized that this was just part one of a story. I felt a bit cheated.

The story was fine and I liked the characters. It did lack depth but apparently all Menage books do, unfortunately.

Two problems with this story: an abrupt ending and lack of character development.

This book was exciting and pleasant to read, up to a point. And that point was the end. The book could have used another chapter or two, to wrap things up. The main character is left on a hillside with bad guys around.

By the end of the book, we know as little about the female lead as we did at the beginning. The same can be said of the main villains. We know marginally more about the main character. Who are these people and why should we care about them? The author doesn't answer that to my satisfaction. They aren't quite cardboard characters, maybe more like particle board characters.

The ending...lack of feelings between the two main characters

Overall the story is a good one but I had a hard time not getting bored especially in the first half of the book.  I found the amount of description, while brings the characters and world to life, makes the story more drawn out than it should have been.  The end did not seem like an end at all and almost felt like the book stopped in mid sentence.  While I would buy the other two books of the series, I probably won't bother with it for a long long time.

Interesting story, however, I ending was disappointing for me.

This was not a bad story, but I just did not care for how each of the main characters ended up nor for how the story ended.

This was good, but I didn't love it. The characters were real but not complex. The pace was disjointed. I didn't like the way the story ended - it wasn't finished. I guess the history was there, with the ultimate outcome; but I wanted more to the story. It's a fast read, & I'd recommend it for a different historical novel.

Disappointed in how much of the plot hinged on the main characters not communicating. I really liked Xander until he went all self-destructive. The author is talented and tells a good story, I just couldn't get into it when I didn't really like either main character by 3/4 of the way through the story.
