Shara Azod

Katrina and Aubrey's story I anticipated from Thierry's Angel. I like the back story of Katrina. I found it more believable since this author has alluded to Katrina's past in the other two previous books. The picture on the cover doesn't really portray how Aubrey was described in the book.

Aubrey...sigh he's still high on the Chevalier scale of Alpha-possessiveness. But I didn't find his transition as smooth as I think the author thought she wanted it to be. SPOILER: He wore glasses so his grandmother could ignore him? Huh? He kept a 'disguise' for so many years to drop it away in a matter of days?

It didn't detract from the story but I though it could have been more of an excellent story opposed to an okay story.

I still will continue on to Forever Jade because I am too curious about Jade's story and the continuation of the Chevalier men.… (mere)

I'm a fan of Shara Azod. I like her alpha male characters and her love scenes are usually hot. She might sometimes have a few typos but it usually doesn't distract from her content. Now while I liked the premise (famous dead Marine's daughter falls for her appointed guardian who also is a Marine), the reason why I couldn't LOVE this story was of continuity with years passed and ages - an issue similar to what I found in Forever Jade I hope this isn't going to be a recurring issue in future books. It wasn't as bad though as that in Forever Jade. SPOILER ALERT: The unrealistic 'first-time' for the heroine threw me off as well. the girl went from virgin to sexpot in a few sentences.

For a novella, it was okay. Would I recommend for purchase? Maybe, it's better as a loan. I think that if there was more time put into the story so it could have been a little more fine tuned. It has promise.… (mere)
