I wish SJ would go back to the writing style she built her career on! This book had none of the sexual tension that she built her career on. The story was "blah" too. I skimmed my way through the last third of the book. Another gripe I have is that they (either SJ or the publisher) seemed to have stretched the book out - printing it trade-sized to make it look weightier and then charging more for it. This is becoming a pet peeve of mine. I'm sorry to say that SJ is no longer an auto-buy for me. I'm going to have to wait and see what others say about her upcoming novels before I shell out my money.
