Hunger (Chicken Ranch, #1)

I wish gr had 1/2 stars. This book was well written as you would expect from Amanda Young, but I think she missed a few areas that would have added more depth to the story.
I don't want to be too spoilerish so I would just say in general, I think this was a watered down version of what the story should have been. It felt like it was rushed to be written without the author really knowing her characters that well yet. The sex was very much about the emotional connection versus the physical. The scenes were well written but they were mostly vanilla and less hot then some of her previous books.
One point that really pulled me out of the story and made me scratch my head was Declan's reaction to meeting Killian again in the grocery store. I don't think it was well thought out. I hate to think that afer only three months, Declan would forget his first "John". It made him seem really shallow and emotionally gone which did not seem to be the purpose of that part of the book.
Since this is Amanda Young and she is such a good, steady writer, I am willing to bet that if this is a series, we will get more out of the next books as AY has more time to live with and think about her Chicken Ranch family.
