Due to the overwhelming amounts of misogyny in this book and the amount of idiocy from the leads, I've decided to quit. Asher's writing is something you'd find on FF.Net and not even decent. It's incredibly juvenile, vague, and lacking any sort of depth. The amount of repetition makes me wanna put my head through a wall. If I have to hear one more snide comment about the women Noah sleeps with/his intimate life or one more comment about how Maya is a sexy Spanish woman who is so very sexy and Spanish and fresh, I'm going to lose my mind. The ridiculous way Maya pants after Noah and acts like she has no control over her libido, Noah's disgusting and creepy behavior towards her and his complete disregard for his partners, the amount of denial of their attraction…It's a big yikes and a no from me. I've read The Fine Print and enjoyed it well enough. The Dirty Air series is not one I think I'll continue with.
