This is a pretty good story and it's a build up of the romance between Jade and Thorin. The story was slow at some parts at the beginning, but after that it was pretty much fast. Jade was a very annoying character that you learn to love as well want to smack sense into. Thorin was just sexy, but had that hero complex down pact in the story.
