What the heck?
Ok so this entire series has been so nice and sweet and such a palette cleanser for all the bully RH romances out there. I found myself grinning like a loon at how adorable the relationships between Cricket and her guys were developing for the first 2 books.
And then that scene where Cas cheats on Cricket. It's still a little unclear exactly how much he did with Sara. We know he didn't sleep with her but I'm guessing kissing was involved since he flat out says more than once that he cheated on Cricket. I kept holding hope that since he was so drunk that it would only take him a moment to shake Sara off when she tries to drag him to his room but that doesn't happen. After everything being so sweet and nice this entire scene ended up being pretty upsetting. I'm not one who needs trigger warnings but shit we just spent like 2.5 books of nice sweet storyline for THAT to happen??
Then after that everyone seems eager to comfort Cas over what he did? I get it... no one is perfect.. but holy shit someone at least punch him in the face! He barely even had to apologize before Cricket takes him back. Unbelievable.
I'm also not super stoked about the minor characters getting their own POV scenes. It's starting to muddy up the story a bit.
I'll probably read the next book but I'm pretty disappointed that this nice, sweet, palette cleanser of a story took a turn like that.
