This book could have been great but it just wasn't for me. My two issues
It just ended. I wanted one last scene beteween Jack and Caroline but never got it.
I found that the prose was lacking dialogue between the h/h.
I am a huge fan of more interaction between the characters. Of course they have plenty of sexual interaction.
I will give Lisa Marie Rice's books another shot.

I was a little disappointed with the ending also. I didn't like the abrupt ending at all and was really hoping for at least one more chapter before it ended.

It is always a bad sign when I am searching for more pages at the end of a book. That happended to be with Echo in the Bone too. I thought for sure my book had a defect.
Thanks for the comments. I have this one sitting in my bedside table waiting its turn.I agree with you in needing lots of interaction and dialogue between my h/h characters, and not just sexual interaction.
This will be my first read by Rice. Who can you compare her to? Anyone?
Oh dear... :( I just requested this from PBS and is waiting for its arrival. It will also be my first foray with this author. The review and comments don't sound so promising.
I love LMR's writing, but her books are (in)famous for their abrupt endings. I'm used to it by now, so it doesn't bother me anymore.I think her Midnight series is still her best work, but you have to read all 3 books to get the needed "epilogue" because the characters and the stories are tightly connected. To quote a friend, bullets are still flying in the last page of Midnight Man and you only get to see the H/h's true HEA in the next book.
That said, I believe LMR has learned to listen to her readers' "complaints" - at least, that's what I gathered from her latest release, Dangerous Passion, which is one of her best books and it has a very nice epilogue. If you don't want to go for the whole Midnight series, I'd say Dangerous Passion is the best alternative to see if you like her writing.
I hope this helps. Happy reading! :)

Their heroes are alpha to the core and borderline stalkerish, but LMR's heroes are less "psycho" than SM's. I don't think they're "nuts" like Anne Stuart's gamma heroes, because LMR's and SM's heroes are extremely protective of their heroines and the thought of hurting them never crosses their minds.
Dina, Thank you for the information! I appreciate it. I've not read McKenna either, so this will all be new to me.
