I found this an enjoyable reading, primarily because it has characters from several of her other series.  It was kind of fun to see them all together.  Not sure how sustainable it will be as the series continues.

Every Day Every Hour by Natasa Dragnic

Let me start by saying that I am not a fan of novels based solely around romance.  If romance is involved in my fantasy or sci-fi or historical novel, bring it on.  A straight up romance is not my cup of tea, however.  That being said, this book was not my cup of tea.  Not entirely.

The book is not without it...
