Would give this a ZERO if I could! We thought we were getting Erik's story and found out we got SUCKERED into buying something other than tha. What a bummer for all the loyal fans of the Enchanted, Forbidden and Untamed books to find that THIS was the long awaited sequel that told Erik's story. It was HORRIBLE! We ALL feel CHEATED! Actually - I feel better just pretending that Erik's story hasn't been told yet than to think it was this piece of drivel! I'm sorry to say but since EL left those books, the Only series and Autumn Lover/Winter Fire behind - she hasn't written a decent thing that has to do with romance! If you want to write suspense or fiction or whatever RIDICULOUSLY descriptive book you want on jade, pearls, rubies, jems, ancient manuscripts, gold etc., etc. then STOP calling them ROMANCE novels! Move into the suspense genre of fiction and stop using the true romance fans out here to buy your books that don't have a THING to do with romance!
