Rode Hard, Put Up Wet by Lorelei James
2.0
Something about this story was disjointed to me. I think part of it was how Carter was written. I understand him getting into his work and losing track of time. I even can see how an artist would get test if people saw their work before they thought it was ready. But there is something he does (with his art and in regards to Macie) toward the end of the book that just didn't seem in character to me.
As for Cash and Gemma, I was looking forward to reading their story. The actual dialogue and trial and tribulations they had were beautiful. The whole thing with Trevor, again, seemed to be out of character and just thrown into the mix. In fact, it seemed out of character for Trevor, too.
So while there were many, many pieces that were great with good writing, there were other pieces that just confused and fell flat. Of course, I'm sure there are plenty of people out here that don't read this series for the story. In that regard you will not be disappointed.
