The problem with the whole Gregori giving Savannah time is...look at the outcome, the first time he was with her, he was really brutal!! That happened because he waited too long. I don't think Dimitri would take that chance. Skyler couldn't deal with such roughness her first "real" time with a man....

Never. He will have to be very gentle. Of course the uncontrollable attraction between lifemates will probably help but he will still need to be very careful.

You all are forgetting about the natural reaction of lifemates. Does anyone remember what happened betweel Destiny and Nicolae? Don't forget, Destiny had been repeatedly raped by the vamp, her mind was probably in as bad or worse of a state than Skyler's. She had been forced to watch unimaginable deeds which the vamp carried out, and most of them he carried out on her! And she was a powerless child when he did it. In the end her only recourse ws to kill the vamp and it left hre scarred and terrified of ever letting a man touch her, yet when it came to Nicolae claiming her, she overcame it. It wasn't instantly but she overcame it.
With patience Dimitri will be able to help Sky overcome her fears. Obviously we know this, or there wouldn't be a story. How he does it, and how long it takes is the story! Just like Destiny overcame her fears with Nicolae, Destiny will come to trust and accept Dimitri, in her own time, and I think that's what she's asking for in the teaser we read. She wants to do this on her terms, in her time, not according to some dominating male's dictation of how her life should be run. Dimitri's enough of a gentleman to see her fears and considerate enough of all she's been through to accept and deal with this.

I know she will eventually accept him. She is still so young though. Destiny was older and had been on her own awhile. She also knew she had the strength to fight if she needed too. Skyler is a lot younger and has been protected since she went to live with Franscesca and Gabriel.

Well, even if he ends up claiming her at 16, it wouldn't be the first romance novel, with a young heroine, and a much older hero. Historical romances are pretty much all like that. Right now I'm reading one in Suzanne Enoch's Griffin series, and I am vouching for the Duke and patriarch of the family to end up with the kid sister of his brother's wife who is 17 years his junior. as long as it's 16+ I'm ok with it. Younger than that, and it'd be like pedophilia to me....

That is true but things are different in todays age. Marrying someone that is only 16 is not something that normally happens now. Especially of one of them is a lot older. It is just not the norm now and I don't think CF will do it. I could be wrong. She is older on the inside then she is on the outside though. I guess we will just have to wait and see. LOL I hate waiting. I think I mentioned that before. LOL

Waiting sucks!! When will the freakin trailer be up? I'm impatient for the book, but if the trailer were up atleast, the wait would be a bit more bareable!!!! It's almost 2 weeks for the release of the book now...has she ever released the trailer so close to the books release? I'm pretty sure that the Dark Demon tailer was up like a month or more before the book was actually released!!!

I completely agree with you Jessica Ann. I was just looking at her site a little while ago looking to see if it was up yet. It isn't. I am so not happy about that. Your right she usually has it up by now.

I wonder why it has taken her so long to put the trailer up? From the teaser we read, she made it seem like it was already done, so gosh dang it, why the long wait...I grow sooooo impatient!!!

Maybe she is in the middle of writing a really great book. Or she could be on vacation with her family. I just hope we see the trailer soon.
