I love Corinne Michaels. She has a way with words and painting a picture that you get sucked in and before you know it you’ve finished a duet in 6 hours and it’s 4am.
Regardless of devouring this duet in one sitting and losing tons of sleep, I’m going to say something that I
can’t believe I’m going to say. ::whispers:: I didn’t love it.
I think that for the age these characters are supposed to be, the immaturity was astounding. I love you/you don’t love me, you love me/I don’t love you. So much push and pull over such ridiculous things.
Also, I adored the Salvation Series, but they’re not all seared into my brain, so some of the periphery stuff was lost on me without re-reading the other books first.
I don’t think this needed to be a duet to be honest. I think the heart of the story was enough and could’ve been put into one book without the rest of the drama.
I loved Quinn, but after hearing how many people say he topped Liam for them, I have to wonder what they’re smoking. Quinn was nowhere near Liam. Quinn was immature and irrational and wanted things done his way or the highway. When that changed seemingly overnight, he still wanted her to love him back immediately. He was pushy and didn’t respect boundaries. It was less romantic than I think it was supposed to be.
I didn’t like Ashton at all. Not once. Super hard to love a duet when the heroine does nothing but piss you off. She has backbone when she shouldn’t and no backbone when she should. She’s frequently selfish and self-centered and were told all these amazing traits she has but you never get to see them. I never felt she truly loved Quinn, and when you could almost believe she did, it was because she was getting what she wanted out of life versus with him.
For book 2, I thought all of the issues were swept under the rug and handled way too quickly. It was like alright gotta tie up all the loose ends within these last few chapters. I never felt that the characters dealt with the heart of their issues and I’m not entirely sure they would’ve made it, regardless of anything in the epilogue. Relationships built like theirs was burn bright but fade fast, and I don’t think they ever fixed those root issues.
This isn’t all to say I didn’t enjoy these books. They just weren’t my favorite of Corinne’s because let’s be honest, Liam and Natalie set the bar and it’s hard to reach!
