(Originally posted December 7, 2010) This is the first of the Jill Kismet books, and I must say, at this point, I like Jill more than I liked Dante Valentine (not that I didn’t devour those books). Jill seems a little more approachable, a little more relatable in her issues. And I like her love interest more. In both series, I have a hard time understanding the love interest’s motivations- I’m not certain what he’s getting out of the relationship. Of course, I don’t think it matters. The books are pulp. They’re action with a little bit of romance thrown in. Saintcrow does that beautifully.
