Audie Award Finalist, Romance, 2013
New York Times best-selling author Gena Showalter is back with a breathtaking Lords of the Underworld tale about a warrior trapped by darkness and the woman determined to save him.
Having endured weeks of torture in the bowels of hell, Kane wants nothing to do with his beautiful rescuer, Josephina Aisling. The half-Fae female threatens to awaken the demon of Disaster inside him - a beast he's determined to kill, no matter the price.
Josephina is hunted by a brutal enemy - her royal family - and Kane is her only source of protection. He's also the only male to ever set her aflame, and even he succumbs to the heat. But as they navigate the treacherous world of the Fae, they are forced to make a choice: live apart...or die together.

I had eagerly been awaiting this LOTU installment for weeks. I read the book in two days, not because I couldn't put it down, but because I kept hoping it would get better...it didn't.
Kane came across as a bit of jerk in the book. He doesn't even really treat Tink (aka Josephina) that well, often saying things just to hurt her. I feel like Gena Showalter was trying to make him into this twisted, shell of a man that needed to be saved, but she didn't manage to pull it off. Instead he comes across as muddled, abrasive, and utterly fake.
Josephina is the same way. I was exicted for her in the first few chapters, her bubbly, somewhat kooky attitude highly charming...but within a few pages her personality disappears and she become a completely different character. It's as if Ms. Showalter couldn't decided what sort of woman she wanted Tink to be.
The way these two characters were portrayed made me feel very cold toward their eventual joining. I honestly couldn't care less when they ended up together. And the sex scenes between the two? Lukewarm at best. I hoped that her style of pg-13 writing in the Angel's series was simply a style choice for that series alone but apparently not. No where was that delicious, amazing, sticks with you and makes you blush smut that featured in her previous LOTU books. Going from Seduction to Craving was like I was reading two completely different authors. I understand this may have something to do with Gena's new found interest in religion, which is great...whatever, to each his own, if it makes you happy, super....but I hope she realizes that her fans have come to expect a certain level of sexiness in her writing that was COMPLETELY absent in this book.
I don't even know where to begin with this book...it was so very painful to read, and to finish. I almost DNF'd it several times. I kept hoping it would get better. (Hint: It didn't.) I used to really love and enjoy this series. But it's gone downhill, and fast.
My first hate was Kane himself. In previous books, I felt for him. Not pity, but compassion, because if I were to house any of the LOTU demons, I most certainly have Disaster in me. So I was looking forward to learning more about him. But I never liked him. I could never sympathize with Kane, and I felt...nothing for him. Which made me extremely sad.
Then Josephina. Or as Kane calls her, Tinker Bell, Tink, and oh yeah, Tinky Dink. *vomits* Oh boy. I could not stand her. Could not. She started out sooo promising. She had a sharp tongue, motivation, and questionable strength. But it was there. Then she dropped away. Tink's only value as a person is Kane. She only accomplishes things because Kane gives her permission/strength/etc. Gena TELLS us that she's a strong heroine, but no where is there proof.
Any time Tink does anything strong or good, Kane is there. She's the strong woman who picked up a branch while her big, strong MAN is there getting rid of the rest of the heavy tree. It was disgusting.
Tink being naive and a virgin and all that yadda yadda isn't even the problem. It's that Gena has reduced the woman - oh, wait, no *female's* role to solely be pleasure for her man. She can do other things on the side, but each woman is defined by the male who owns her. While noticeable in past books, it really stood out in this one. Kane's motivations the entire time looked something like, "CAVEMAN KANE NEED HIS WOMAN. KILL, GET MY WOMAN. MINE. MINE. MINE.
