First of all, the "heroine" was not technically a virgin. She was raped once, but she obviously got over that by the time that she was forced to publicly have sex with the "hero". The sex was boring, not at all hot. The repetitive use of the terms passion whore and passion nipple were beyond ridiculous. The story didn't work because there was NO chemistry between the couple and the plot was undeveloped and ridiculous. The plot could have worked with more detail and character depth, and the sex could have benefitted from the same. This book was bad enough to deter me from purchasing any more of Ms. Devine's books. There are definitely BETTER erotic and paranormal novels out there.
