3-3.5 I love character-building. While Aly Martinez's books have great & exciting plots, some great steamy scenes, I'm not sure if I'm not enjoying her books as much anymore because that's just not enough for me. Oh, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, I won't deny that. But it doesn't stir anything deep for me.
I had the best sense of Roman of all the characters, of his motivations and desires, and his mistakes. That said, it still didn't feel like it went far enough for me to get invested.
