Liked it very much, but just as a novel, not as a romance. I was happy to be able to see how the other pairings from previous books were doing, and to just be able to enjoy the compentency and friendship of our four leading ladies.
Having said that, I believe this was supposed to be a romance book, first and foremost. As such, it failed. I did not see the chemistry between Parker and her love interest, or even clear physical attraction. Apart from that one supply closet scene, it all came across quite clinical. I also did not really care for some of the behaviour of the main love interest. The narrative seems to want us to see him as rough around the edges, but I thought that he often was a douche who should really learn to respect boundaries.
Anyways, still a really enjoyable novel.
