This is the first in a new trilogy by Martin. I've always been a fan of her contemporary fiction, so was delighted to get my hands on this ARC. (Thanks #NetGalleyReads) It was an exciting read full of intrigue, action, romance, & sex appeal. I didn't find the gratuitous sex scenes necessary. Sometimes less is more. I think too much sensuality can actually detract from the story & turn away many readers who would have otherwise loved the book. 😶
