I loved Game on and I read the game on books countless (!) times. So I was expecting to love this series but instead it totally missed me. It therefore also hurts me to write this review but honestly the total series (except Managed) felt like a total decline in terms of writing, plot and character development. I just really felt like the author can do more than that.
Where Game on impressed with somewhat emotional mature and committed men, the male protagonists in VIP somehow felt like boys that have the emotional intelligence of highschoolers. A big miss for me was also the background of Jax. Not because of the secretory but because apparently it has led the group to talk more about their emotions - but they literally don’t talk about their issues and instead mock each other all the time until shit blows up. So yeah, the emotional depth in this series was really lacking for me
