![]() It muddles our judgment and, ironically, often leads to cruelty. Far from helping us to improve the lives of others, empathy is a capricious and irrational emotion that appeals to our narrow prejudices.

The story just didn't quite do it for me. What would have made this romance irresistible? ![]() Which character – as performed by Carly Robins – was your favorite? Overall, just not as gripping a tale as I would have liked. I would have liked more of the story to unfold in dialog and action rather than in character internals. Another drawback for me was how cerebral the story was. ![]() To me, this wasn't enough to motivate them both to abandon their reasons for staying apart. The tension evaporated with a certain revelation. I was also thrown for a loop by the reason the hero, Owen, and the heroine, Daniella, came together intimately after a lot of excellent tension. The mystery serves the story, but it felt out of character for this feisty gal. ![]() This would have been more active and fun to read than reading about her running, then returning to the scene of the fight and not knowing what had happened to her mate. When her mate tells her to run from danger, she does. However in other ways, she didn't quite resonate as a strong character for me. She was a very strong heroine in some ways, like standing up to the pack Prime, Eric and calling out "BS" when she sees it. The heroine's voice didn't quite work for me.
