Lover Avenged

This is by far my least favorite story of the series. I don't get why it's so popular. There were moments during this book that I was literally sick to my stomach... that whole twist with Rehvenge and his blackmailer. It was all kinds of wrong and not anything that I care to read about whether it's a romance or not.

I get the appeal of reforming the bad boy (or vampire in this case), but in the end I just don't think that Rehvenge really reformed. Yes, he fell in love, but nothing about him really changed. And while I liked Ehlena, I didn't like how she was with Rehvenge and I really hated how easily she forgave Rehvenge and got over all that she learned about him. Goodness knows, I wouldn't be able to.

I honestly only kept reading this book for the overarcing storyline. And if I hadn't been listening to an audio version, I probably would have skimmed large sections of the book. In the end, I just don't understand how a drug dealer/user can be celebrated as a romantic hero. And if this had been the first book in the series, I wouldn't have read any further.
