Incredible story with mystery, secrets, suspense and steam. Amazing read and addition to the story with the same well developed characters. The cliffhanger is shocking and left me wanting more. I am very excited for the next book.

So good! So much suspense! Archer needs to step up, it's his fault anyway! But I'm still sad for him. The other men are A++, love them! Loving seeing the characters from the universe in this, always so excited to see who we will meet again! Great writing and story!

That was a surprise
If anyone messes with Jaz, they'll be punished. Wow. After the ending of the first book, I had no idea what was coming, but I am so satisfied with the events in this book and with what might happen next. Candace Wondrak is a new author to me, having only discovered her this month, but I'm so pleased with her storytelling. She creates atmosphere in her books like I've not experienced with other authors. At least not in the same way.
There are so many secrets in Midpark, just waiting to be uncovered and it seems like someone is using Jaz and her plot for revenge to reveal some deep dark truths...but who is behind all of the mayhem? There are other players in this mystery, but I wonder if instead of helping Jaz, they're just building up to bring her down spectacularly?
At least she's got some support behind her. A friend in Bobbi, and something friskier in Vaughn, Dante, and Jacob...but can they be trusted? They've all got big secrets hidden from Jaz, too. It's only a matter of time before everything lets loose and I am here for it.
So, on that note I'm buzzing off to begin the third book until sleep takes me.

Uhh....
I really tried to like this series. The first book was ok but got pretty good towards the end so I figured the story would just be a slow burn and work it’s way to getting good. Sadly that didn’t happen. The story and the characters just seem to be all over the place. And sorry, but my biggest pet peeve with some of these stories is when a character gets asked a straight question that they can easily answer, but then chooses not to and it makes everything go crazy! Like, just tell them the truth already!!! Don’t say “well, uhh...” and then the other person storms off and BAM drama begins where there really is no drama needed! It just makes everything drag out unnecessarily. And there is SO much repetition in these books, it gets annoying. I can’t tell you how many times Jaz mentioned her mom made them leave and cut off ties completely to her old life...I know...I’ve read it like 7 times already. And what’s with her not even getting the phone numbers of all these guys that are in love with her that she supposedly is infatuated with back, until way later in the books? There’s just so much that doesn’t really flow or make sense. And all Archer had to do was literally say “Im sorry” and she was back to letting him touch her again?!? Heck to the NO after what he did in the first book! Stick up for yourself and get some self respect Jaz!!!
On top of that, I feel absolutely nothing for any of the guys. The personalities are just so bland to me. Vaughn, for being all dark and mysterious with a badass family and tattoos, is a very vanilla character. And he and Jaz have basically no interactions or encounters outside of sitting at the lunch table. But she’s everything to him? And she’s super hot for him? What, huh? Then there’s Archer...also boring. I mean grow some and tell Britney to shove it. He’s such a pushover. Dante is probably my favorite since he’s at least funny with some character. Jacob is so-so but I can’t find anything mouthwatering about him either. The guys just have no “panty dropping” qualities whatsoever. Where’s the strong, bada** alphas with the money and the big boy parts? It’s like reading about sad little puppies that just think the FMC is super hot so they want her. BUT they don’t get in there and fight for her. It’s just really frustrating. And to top it off I feel like Jaz is somehow this sex crazed dirty talking bad girl with Jacob but acts like a reserved goody two shoes outside of that. Makes no sense. Is she a strong, sassy female character or isn’t she? I sometimes felt like I was reading about a totally different FMC at times..
Lastly, I love RH books but the relationships in this one are just plain awkward. I feel like the guys in a RH should at least have some bond or connection, but none of these guys do so it makes the relationships seem very forced and a bit unrealistic.
I guess I’m just in the minority with this series, given all the high stars that were awarded by other readers. Not finishing.
