This trilogy was always best when Tatiana and Alexander were in there will they be together or won't they. This book completely lacked that element that I enjoyed from the first two. Add in Tatiana withholding information from Alexander over silly stuff that get blown up and manipulated by Tatiana was frustrating. Add in the increased emotional abuse that turns physical made this book unpleasant to read and turned my stomach at points. The cheating only made the book a hot garbage fire at that point. The book was made up of all the things in the trilogy i didn't like. Drawn out awkward sex scenes, bad character development and drawn out pointless scenes. Taking an ok trilogy in first two books to a disappointment. There were some good points and things I enjoyed just not enough to outweigh the bad.
