I didn’t dislike this book but I also didn’t enjoy it?? A bit boring and the characters needed more development in my opinion.

This book had a fairly easy to follow plot line, for better or for worse. While being a well written book, nothing extraordinary or unpredictable happens. I was satisfied with this book up until the misrepresentation of Duke’s character in the ending, and I feel as if Lara meeting back up with Joe was predictable and sterile.
