This book was hands down one of the worst I've ever read; granted I wasn't expecting anything spectacular but it was horrendous.
First of all the character of Helen was just awful, she was so cold and unlikeable and then the thing she tried to pull with Eric was just so morally reprehensible; I mean if a male character had tried to pull something similar he would have been slated (and rightfully so) but because she's a woman it's apparently fine. And the fact that Eric just forgave her and got on with it was just too unbelievable.
The other storyline in this that bugged me was the attitude Dana Sue towards her employee that was struggling, her reaction towards what was happening was so far removed from her previous characterisation that it was like she had a personality transplant.
I may continue with the series but I may not, it's definitely not my priority right now.
