This book had a lot going for it, but I found Jane kinda irritating. The ogre scene was - eh - and I still think that the ogre king just letting himself be killed is far-fetched.I'm going to continue on with the story because I'm very interested in what happened with Nicolai's siblings and I was to see that Blood Socerer get his ass kicked; after I know more about him though.I probably still would have given the book four stars despite Jane being an idiot from time to time, but I wasn't interested in the three extra stories AT ALL; so minus a star. I usually reserve 1 star ratings for books I DNF, but since it also means "did not like," I think it's appropriate here. I heavily skimmed the last two-thirds of the book, only finishing it because I thought some plot element might be needed for the next book in the series. The next book is written by a different author, which is why I didn't completely give up on the whole series.Nicolai is overbearing. Jane, supposedly a scientist, is dumb and a doormat. Sex slaves (and therefore their rape as they are used against their will) and the potential rape of Jane are used as plot devices. The writing was not my favorite and almost felt too young, though with the amount of smut, this is definitely not a YA book.I hate to say it, but I would be reluctant to pick up another Gena Showalter book after reading this one.
What do You think about Kara Gönülçelen (2013)?
Good lord... The writing is just awful! I couldn't get past the first few chapters.

This was an ok read, but felt kind of disjointed.
