To be honest, I just got bored and had to force myself to finish...and that required a bit of skimming to accomplish. I think some of my issue was there was too much time spent in their past (past/present not my favorite) and not enough time spent in their present. I didn’t feel a connection to the love story or the characters. That said, many seemed to enjoy this story so it may work for you....more

Sadly, this one didn’t work for me. The heroine spent a good portion of the book in a D/s relationship with a secondary character, who I actually quite liked. In fact, most of the sex scenes were between them, too. The actual hero wasn't even introduce into the story until around 30%. And even then, he had very little page time and was sorely underdeveloped. This book was definitely only about the heroine and her journey to find, I don’t know, acceptance in a romantic relationship considering her sexual preferences? Letting go of a past destructive relationship? He role as a Domme and what that meant to steady relationship? Heck, I don’t know, I’m not quite sure what her story was about. I never warmed up to the heroine so I spent most of the book in a disconnected state. Also, I wouldnt classify this story as romance. It was more erotic Chic Lit. We did get a lot of page time with my favorite character in the series, Alex. I loved getting to see him married and happy. He was a hoot in this book and brought much needed comic relief. I gobbled up every moment we spent with him. His involvement in the book is what kept me reading until the end....more

This book so did not work for me...at all. Interestingly enough, what didn’t work for me had nothing to do with the cheating aspect (hero/heroine cheat together) of the story. In fact, that aspect didn’t bother me at all. I’d actually have to care about the characters for that to happen. What bothered me was everything else. It felt like one annoying “New Adult/Young Adult” cliché after another. Oh, the redundancy. And don’t get me started on the spineless hero and doormat heroine.
I absolutely loved this author's book, Frayed Silk. It’s become one of my favorite reads so far this year. I guess I just expected to find the same amount of uniqueness and heart-and-soul in this book that I found in that one. Unfortunately, that did not happen for me. The ending was cute and bumped my rating up a half a star, so I’ll give it that.
This author is an incredibly talented writer and I think many will enjoy this book...I’m just not one of them....more

Overall, the writing style was good but I hated the cruel hero, became annoyed with the heroine’s lack of backbone, and found one too many inconsistencies to over look. To top it off, there wasn’t an ounce of romance to be found in this supposed romance book. To say this book didn’t work for me is an understatement....more

This continuation novella is filler drama and nothing more. This couple’s story should have been one book not four! Plus, I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact the Harris is suppose to be a successful 23 year old. He’s written like he’s still in high school with the heroine. It’s disconcerting to say the least. ...more
