Beating Heart by Laura Pavlov
2.5
I wanted to love this one so much more than I did. The romance part, for me, fell really really flat. I truly didn't see the chemistry between Nash and Emerson at all. They felt forced at times.
I feel like the author had a hard time balancing a huge cast of side characters and their relationships with the main characters while allowing the main characters to shine. It felt distracting at times and there were definitely throw backs to previous books that caused me to be completely lost because I'd only read the first book in this series.
There's no way you could jump into this series with this book and not have to skim past parts because it expects you to know the lore.
Then you have the Cutler problem.
Now I love Cutler with my whole heart but I can truly say I think Emerson was more into being his step-mom than she was into being with Nash.
It fell flat for me. The book definitely had issues with balancing a lot of things but the lack of belief I have in the romance part is really want kills it for me.
