This series starts out with brothers who are triplets, so I wanted to get through all three of their HEAs. I cannot put my finger on what is not clicking for me with this series. The concept/storylines are interesting. The characters are lovable and make you want to root for them. I’m just not getting why they are falling flat. I will try to put down some of my thoughts about this book.
There were times I would sink into the narrative and other times it felt basic. I don’t know if that makes sense. Maybe juvenile is a better word? Although this story deals with some intense situations and the intimate moments are definitely not behind closed doors, there was an immaturity to the text at times. Plus, it leaned heavily on the “she’s not like other girls” and “magic p***y” ideas, and that came across as ick in this case.
On the other hand, I loved the chemistry Bailey and Nathan had. Nathan also had fantastic chemistry with Bailey’s young brother. The scenes with Nathan and Joel are wonderful and show the depth of Nathan’s character.
There are two more books in the series and already love the characters. As I said, she writes great characters. I’m waffling about if I’m going to continue the series hoping the lackluster will turn to the more interesting as it is in her later books I’ve read, or give it up and try another of her series that’s a bit more current. These aren’t terrible, by any means. Yet there are so many books out there for me to get to.
