Finlay is back at it and her attempts to be a normal single, working mom keep getting fubar’d by circumstances out of her control. Mostly caused by her ex husband whom I still loathe with a fiery passion. These books are so fun and wildly silly but I’m addicted.

I know that suspending belief is necessary for reading this but even that has its limits. These really need to be read in order in order to understand what is going on. To me it is one long book just released in segments once a year. I don't like Finlay. She loves her kids but she is usually just passing them off on someone else and I don't find the kids cute. The characters just don't seem well developed and I am tired of hearing about Zach's toileting antics. While the banter between Finlay and Vero was amusing in book #1 it is getting old and they are both so mired in intrigue with Feliks and hiding more and more since what happened in book #1 I can't keep track of it all. As far as her attraction to Nick I don't see a budding romance just lusting after each other. The ending should have been heart pounding but with all the silliness through the whole book I just didn't feel it and the ending again was a cliffhanger. I hate when an author does that.

I would like to thank Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for providing me with a digital copy.
