This Might be my favorite book out of the entire series. Also, even though I am team Jameson, I have to admit Avery and Grayson are cute. 🙂

It's definitely more active than the first book, the connections between the characters is explored a lot more and I absolutely love that! My favorite part is "I'm not a bad man" after what he did and planned to do LMFAO it was so funny

Disappointing

Reading this was like pulling teeth. Where the first book was fast-paced and fun, this one dragged on. Nothing happens except for a bunch of filler until the last 15% of the book with ridiculous plot twists.

I don’t even want to get into the “love triangle” with the wet blanket brothers. Absolutely no chemistry between any of them. Again, like the first book, I felt no emotional connection towards these characters.

Since this book was so underwhelming, I don’t think I will continue on in the series.
