So I've had this on my TBR for a while now, taking it on and off because it was so expensive on book depository, I can't seem to go up to $20+ for a paperback personally. So it's been making the rounds now that the new one was out and it's like, $12-15 or something (I think, because I never really looked haha) at my local target and big w.
Of course, they only have random books like one three and four or one two and five or some crap, but they're these nice little copies, and they have the damn series number on the spine!!! Yesssss. My one thing I think all series books need is a series order number on the spine. So my life was made less difficult and I'm super happy.
This book was missing some of the drama you usually see. I mean, there was drama, sure. There's a dark past for her from her early college years, and he's practically a criminal. His brothers a drug addict, her mothers dead and she doesn't know her father. So yeah, drama. But it kind of felt washed over all the time. As if the author wanted drama, but not to be too dramatic?
Or maybe I feel that way because I don't like the female protagonist. She's naive, jealous at times when she shouldn't be and makes assumptions and stuff, and of course there's the fact she says she's in love because everyone keeps asking her if she is and tells her she is. Okay, so I can see they kinda are getting there in the love, but I felt like she said it because he's been saying it. She's running around saying she can't trust him with her business and that she knows nothing about him or his past. But she also never really tells him much about her. Big details of two things she kind of blurts out, and that's all we really get.
I feel like you kind of might have to read on to enjoy the series so I did get the next book and I'm going to continue. I didn't hate it, I don't love it, but I did really like it. I just got left frustrated with her I guess. But I wouldn't say in any way it's something you shouldn't read. Four stars, maybe a low four I can't decide!!
