3.0

This book surprised me by having a verifiable plot!  I stayed relatively interested in the story throughout the entirety of this book.  Which is saying a lot because there is no reason that this book was 800+ pages. Big chunks of it could have been edited out without taking away from the story. 

I didn't care as much for the story line involving Bryce and Hunt.  I don't find them to be very likable characters.  I don't buy that they are mates.  It just doesn't seem believable.  I feel their connection was strong enough to merit a mating bond.  

I was much more invested in the side characters story lines because I felt more connected to them.  I wish this book was more of a story involving the side characters instead of focusing on Hunt and Bryce, and their sex life. 

The cliffhanger at the end was remarkable!  It made me very happy that I only had to wait 24 hours before the next book came out.
