The ending was a bit abrupt, I think.. other than that, it's a solid and entertaining book. It's just quite simple but it does that knowingly, and I know that's what the author was going for, and it was what I was going for when I picked it up.

I usually keep an open mind while writing these reviews, but today, I'm going to take a book that is the treasure of many girls, and I will tear it apart. Bit by satisfying bit. 👿

This book is the third in a series that I'm reading purely because I was told they were smutty. And honestly, they are, and when the smut's there, it's good, it does make me wet and I do come sometimes when I think about it.

But there are way too many annoying people in it to overlook just for the sake of some orgasms.

Winter isn't supposed to forgive Damon. Damon isn't supposed to like her. He's supposed to go off and start his own sex club and do something else, other than ending up with a happy family.

I fucking hate this book. It was torture. The decisions these people made were terrible and I was losing brain cells the entire time.

I'm sorry if you found this offensive, but Damon is a jerk who's soft only for Winter, and while there's nothing wrong with being a jerk, that doesn't mean you don't respect any other woman outside of your petty little entitled friend group. The only females he has respect for are Winter, Banks, Erika and Alex. And he can be a jerk to all other women, fine by me, but I could sense it through that pages that he didn't respect them.

There's a difference between being a jerk to someone and not having basic respect for someone. Damon, unfortunately, is that latter.

But I'm still gonna keep reading the next book. I'm gonna be reading the entire series except for Fire Night because that's an epilogue and I don't need it in my life.

It's a good book. It is.
It's fast and emotional; it kept me reading, and I enjoyed it.
BUT... I didn't find it as sad as everyone else told me I would.
Oh well, doesn't really matter so long as I get a good book onto my Read list. ;)
