Not as good a beginning as the two previous volumes, but the story eventually took shape. A distracting read.

Not as good as the first one. You cannot help but compare Adam with Hugh. Adam was a far better written character IMHO.

This book was good. My expectations were a bit higher after the first one and most of them were met superbly. Minerva Spencer is a gem of a writer.

DID NOT FINISH

It’s rare I don’t finish a book but I just completely didn’t buy their romance and the kidnapping plot...

I didn't like this as much as Dangerous, but it was still pretty interesting. I liked Daphne and how she stood up for herself. I liked her intellect and interests, but I wish more time had been spent developing them. Hugh and his crew were also intriguing, and I'm glad Martin was in this book and that it looks like he'll be getting his own story. The little hints about Hugh's family (Aunt Leticia especially) were nice. It was also interesting to see Mia from a different point of view. I found the final chapters a bit rushed and the big reveal about Hugh's past also kind of rushed. I wish they had had the conversation earlier and that there was time to process the information.

These nerds are always secretly gorgeous.

I loved Hugh and Daphne!

The premise was interesting, but the execution wasn't great. I felt like this book was missing something. I wish Daphne's sons had a bigger role in this book. They felt like props to move the plot forward.
