OMG. Bad boys, right?
I loved Kaldar when I met him in Bayou Moon, so I was excited to read his story.
And he didn't disappoint! Neither did Audrey, for that matter. I loved the snarky back-and-forth between those two, because arguing is the spice of every good relationship.
Ah, ah, ah! You know I'm right, ladies...
Now, I don't mean the are you fucking my sister?! arguments. I mean the kind of everyday battles you fight over the small stuff.
Remotes, covers, thermostats, driving skills, and who gets the good side of the bed.
These are the sorts of squabbles that keep things exciting!
If you enjoy reading about couples who can quarrel like pros, then you'll love this installment in the Edge series. I'd give this 5 stars if I was basing it solely on how much chemistry the couple in question had! Audrey was awesome, funny, and spunky, but (more importantly) Kaldar was the type of book boyfriend that melted my panties...
So why didn't this one get all 5 stars from me?
Two reasons:
One, it took me several chapters to get into this one. Not that they were awful or unreadable by any means, but the story simple didn't suck me in at first.
And the second reason? The conclusion felt rushed, and the actual ending was unbelievably abrupt. Yes, everything turned out the way I wanted, but...
I don't know. All that buildup, and then...?
Poof it's over!
*farts*
Still.
I have yet to read anything by these authors that wasn't good. And this was no exception. Definitely recommended for fans of Ilona Andrews!
Oh, and did anyone else think Kaldar was The Edge's version of Roman from the Kate Daniels series?

*swoons* Yep. I'll take him, too.
I love Kaldar....but I need a pet racoon line Ling the merciless

Love this series. And yeah, I still have to read anything by Ilona that's not good. (and I have read everything they wrote lol).
Oh I love me some Ian Somerholder.... *faint*

I've never wanted to watch Vampire Diaries, but he might just make me cave...
(slurping noises)
I just started that one (total cheesefest), and I can't believe how hard I'm into it! *wipes chin*
No idea why this had been marked as "liked" - I swear I've never seen it before. BUT I LOVE IT! Great review! :D
Thanks, Trish! Looks like you're such a good friend your computer is auto-liking all my stuff! <--not really. but maybe?!
One can take a lot of cheese when it includes really hot guys. :)

Because the GR overlords don't love you.
I have a bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos in a box that says differently. I'm still hoping you get this package by Christmas, but I keep thinking of stupid stuff I want to stick in it. Heh.
Unless you want me to choke on them (no idea if they are good or if you're intending to pull my leg by sending the worst stuff America has to offer - I wouldn't put it past you)!And it doesn't matter WHEN I get it, I'll love getting it either way. ;)
I just hope yous will make it in time, I did send it in time after all so I'd be angry if it didn't work out.
Hahahaha! No, you may not like the stuff, but I promise I'm sending my favorites to you! I'm mostly worried about the Funyuns, because those are a love-it-or-hate-it item. We all love the Flamin' Cheetos, but then...we all like hot stuff.
*crosses fingers, hopes Trish doesn't puke*
*lol* Yeah, that doesn't make me nervous AT ALL.
Hmm I have read the first book, but that's it. Since these are all standalones basically, do you recommend reading the second book or just skipping to this one?
If you read book 2 you get an introduction to the dude from this one, the overall enemy, and another couple you'll meet. Not STRICTLY needed, but it might help understand some of the dynamics.
