Another winner in my opinion!  I will say I wasn't too much of a fan of Dianna in this one, unlike the others where I totally Team Dianna.  I just truly disagreed with a lot of her thought processes and the choices she made in various situations.  Like, many situations.  Lol.  But fortunately, there were some pretty engaging side stories going on with various side characters, so I still had a lot of fun reading this.  I really like the side characters and, let me just say, Amber Nicole knows how to write sexy men.  I feel like I was crushing on every dude in this book, even the ones that I'm pretty sure I'm still supposed to hate?  This book didn't make me cry but it did make angry enough at some characters (*cough*Dianna*cough*) that I had to stop and write a journal entry to vent before I could continue.  More than once.  To my mind, a book that brings that kind of emotionality out of me, regardless of which emotion, is a well written book.  It's going to be a long wait for book 4 but I'm happy to have read these!
