I liked it ok. I might continue the series. I liked the main character's brother Noah better than her so I might read his book. ( )

Third book in the Others series. Again - I like the world better than the stories - the sex is very explicit which I find less interesting, and the obstacles (some of them, the immovable ones) are either ignored or deus-ex-machina dealt with. A human marrying an immortal, especially when the immortal is explicitly said to mate 'for life' - there are problems there that can't be easily solved, but the author just skates over them (either the human's life is automatically extended, or the immortal says (to himself, not his mate) that he'll die along with her (gender distribution correct for these two books). Fluffy.). But the world is great - urban fantasy with hidden Others, the first book they decide to unveil, in the second they're in negotiations, in the third book they've just unveiled and humans are dealing (badly) with these facts. I'd really like to see some non-romance books set in this universe - honestly, there's some good stories in here somewhat obscured by two peoples' sudden obsession with each other. Oh yeah, and they definitely illustrate the First Law of Romance: if the sex is fantastic, it's true love which will overcome all obstacles. If it's not so good, it's with the wrong partner. Pffff. ( )

Although somewhat disjointed, this story is still a light, quick read. Expanding the realm of the "Others", it does touch on some racial issues now that the "Others" are out of the closet, so to speak. The instant and deep attraction between the hero and heroine does seem to get in the way and the ending glosses over the racial differences between them. ( )

Again, a book that others like, and I can see it's sweet, but it just didn't engage me. I didn't care for the characters, though some of the past heroines seemed like women you'd like to meet, the current story felt silly. From the boring, melt into the background heroine, who suddenly becomes dynamic and amazingly stubborn - well those characteristics contradict each other, chose one or the other but don't tell me she's almost invisible she's so quiet when you introduce her and then totally change her personality 50 pages later - to the Special Ops brother, who is another cliche I can start to avoid, the personalities just didn't work for me. But it is well written, it's not glaringly silly plot wise, it's internally consistent. It just didn't hold my attention and I started skimming and then jumped to the end. Not a keeper or even really a properly read book for me. ( )
