What the hell was I thinking when I one clicked this-- how can a trilogy go from FIVE stars in the first book down to ONE??

I should have listened to my gut after book two bombed with me so badly, but I wanted to give the author another chance-- hell another one redeemed herself in my eyes this week, but yeah I pushed my luck too far.

Anyway, what I didn't like: Sara continues to be TSTL... the angst, the self caused drama, yadda, yadda, yadda, Chris morphs into some pussy whipped weenie, and the biggest offense:

The book ends as a cliff hanger.

Seriously. The third book in a trilogy doesn't have a nice bow on it to wrap up all the freakin' messes of the village idiots from the previous books. Yes, the questions were addressed, but throwing out something else as an ending with no closure that may be for a spin off really sucks becuase there's no way I will torture myself any further with these idiotic characters.

My only surmise is that it ended this way is because of the option to be featured on Starz as a show.

Banging my head against a wall. I want a do over.

Let me preface this with the fact that I LOVE Alpha Men.. add in some tattoos and a bike, well instant wet panties.

 

Dallas Knox was a character that I could not stand. You know the kind that if they spontaneously combusted in front of you, you'd actually have to think really really really hard before even wasting a drop of your own spit to potentially save them-- yeah, she was it for me. I had a very hard time connecting to her.

Being five foot four with a body most people only dream of can get you a lot when it comes to men. Not to mention my long, silky brown locks, my perfect teeth, and a smile that would make the devil himself bow down.

Luke Carmical, oh Luke... totally Bad Ass, yet so beautifully tender.

I would move heaven and earth for you Dallas. I will spend the rest of my days making you happy. I have loved before, but never like this.

But their relationship is based on LIES ; She tells him that she was touched while she was sleeping during the break in, when she wasn't[ She tells him that she was touched while she was sleeping during the break in, when she wasn't (hide spoiler)], OMISSIONS and a whole lot of CRAZY-- both main characters seem to be a bit bipolar. However with the cliffhanger style ending, you really don't find out the depth of Luke's lies; you are told that he was hired to protect her...but he does say he's a bad person.

Am I going to read the next two books to see if there really is any redemption in Dallas? Yes, because I love a bit of drama and non endings piss me off.

As others have pointed out, there are several areas that desperately need an editor's attention. Own is used when On should be and vice versa. Sense versus Since and Decoy versus Deploy... is it a bad read? No, but it could be so much better.

As much as I love Gideon, I really really hate how these books in the series do not have an ending. It was fantastic when Eva finally confronted her parents; especially her money hungry mother.

Both Gideon and Eva seem to circle each other a lot in this book, trying to get back to where they were, however at least the co-dependency was toned down quite a bit. Their ex's play major roles, and I don't think I would have minded if Corrine had been successful (view spoiler)in her suicide attempt.

Ok, I loved it... however the abrupt ending. Gah. When is the next one going to be released?

Was this book perfect? No. There was some continuity issues. However, what makes a book 'good' to me? It's one I think about after I've read... and I freakin' dreamt about this book.

OMFG!! What an ending or not.. but I can't wait for book 3. I liked this book but not as much as the first one. I missed the dominating ways of Trey and I almost quit reading it when Tylar hit P, but I am glad I continued. I have read plenty of books with cliffhanger endings, but this one, wow!

What an emotional rollercoaster--and no happy ending. I was so drained reading this series. Great style of writing though.
