The only reason why I provide a 3 stars is due to the ending, It provided me enough.
The Jane Austen quote "if a book is well written, I always find it too short." Does NOT match 'things I wanted to say.' The book was way to long winded, why did Summer have to be assaulted twice for Whit to mark her as his.
I loved how he chose her in the end over everyone. Whit grew as a character the most for me in the book, Summer stayed the same, obsessive, submissive, boring character the whole time.
Also why did we jump so many years, the time lines were all over the place near the end.
I wished more from Summer to prove herself and not just sign a document to state she didn't want his money, she never made something of her self in the end she became the thing she said she did not want to be. "A breeding machine for the Lancaster name."
