The cast expands as the series progresses but for the most part each new character brought in that has any kind of role, tends to flesh out and may show up as a series regular.Įach book has a main story that turns into a mystery of some sort with multiple side trips to other tangental plot points. The lack of smut doesn't detract in anyway from the Romantic aspects.Īlso, the characters grow naturally and stay true to their "main selves" there are no Mary Sues. While it has tight storylines and a good amount of plot and scenes in each book.
In the beginning before the characters finally "get together" there are kissing and heated exhanges with some groping and "if we hadn't been interrupted I would have had you on your back" and "If you hadn't stopped, I would have let you." Our cast isn't prudish, they just have traditional views on sex and romance. It's as if the author had too many requests for more steam and gave a bit more to appease the masses. Instead of a couple of vague paragraphs starting in the future, the last couple of books had a couple of pages. However the lack of sexytimes doesn't go missing if you know they aren't happening, and as the series progresses it seems that they are getting a bit more "there". This is a great series that doesn't devolve into smut, it keeps a solid PG to PG-13 rating. This would be what I would be looking for when approaching an unknown series that I might be interested in reading past the first book, but was wondering if it will hold up or possibly continue in a vein that I didn't like in the first book. Since this is the second book in a long series and you might be wondering if you want to continue past the first one, and I have read the entire series multiple times - along with a TON of other books, I figured I would just give you the nitty gritty on what to expect on the whole rather than focus on this one book.
