Mistral's Kiss (Meredith Gentry, Book 5)
I give the second half of the book 4.5 stars, but the fact that almost 1/2 of the book seemed to be sex kills the whole thing. I guess you have to have sex scenes when your main character is the decedent of fertility deities, but still. I get why it's there, but 3-4 chapters on one sex scene is a little overboard. She's hiding behind the scenes when she's perfectly capable of writing wonderful plots. I hope to see her go back to her earlier writing.
