I'm very ambivalent about this one: not as good as I'd hoped, but not as bad as I feared it could be even if the love triangle worked out the way I suspected it would.

(One of the recommendations on the cover is from an author whose book I could not make myself continue reading; it was just way too annoying. The other has written a number of books I've liked a lot. So this book was a toss-up from the start.)

Turned out to be book 1 of a series. I won't go looking for the others but if they fell into my lap I'd probably add them to the TBR stack.
