    Okay for a short story

    This had the making of a great book, but it ended up being a short story.

    Enjoyable characters.

    ake has been in love with Ellie for years. He stood by and watched her marry his best friend and then supported her when their marriage fell apart. Now Jake is ready to claim Ellie as his own... but is she ready for another relationship?

    Maya Banks is one of my favorite erotica authors. I completely fell in love with her writing when I read Colters' Woman in 2006. However, as much as I enjoyed the characters and the plot of Understood, I felt that it was a little underdeveloped. It mostly revolved around Ellie and her relationship with Jake. After her troubled marriage, she fell into Jake's arms too easily for my taste... or it just wasn't explained quite enough.

    This book is currently only available as an ebook. However, I understand that Samhain Publishing is planning on printing this book as part of a Maya Banks anthology in the future.

    The concept was better than the execution

    At a total of 86 pages in my e-reader it was shorter than I anticipated. Despite that the story was not too bad until the last two chapters. I don't know if the last few chapters resulted from pressure to wrap up the story in short order or out of self indulgence, either way the result is an ending that isn't even entertaining
