A great story and characters will suck me in every time, no matter the genre. But I do have a weakness for PNR, SF, UF and I'll melt completely if you throw in some humour and a breathless romance.
Woo-hoo, love this series and all the characters. And two Kitty's! This could have been seriously bad but instead it was great. Also - thanks to the author for dialling back on the whole 'pointing out sarcasm' every time it occurs, I caught only a reference or two in this book rather than the hundred or so times it was pointed out in the previous book.
