How Cabbie was asked, and how she reacted towards it made my head hit the desk figuratively. I knew this was a plot point in the book, and I had no issues because I knew it was going to be a sexy read, but my initial impressions were wrong. Instead of this brash sharpshooter and experienced soldier she was suppose to be, I felt like she was a very young girl playing dress-up.Ĭabbie is asked to help Torr through his lust fever phase, which he reached ahead of schedule, and Torr urgently needs a sexual partner to help him through this phase.

Cabbie is suppose to be an officer in a well run army, but comes across really naive and immature at times.

The blurb, setting and even the cover promised it was going to be a sexy and enjoyable read, but instead it was a convoluted mess with annoying characters.Ĭabbie is an officer for the Cortierrans and is highly skilled in shooting bats that live in a canyon close to where she lives. However, I am sorry to say I did not enjoy it.
