First off, I'll get my rant out of the way. (There WILL be the odd vague spoiler ahead.)
What the actual heck? Lorenzo said in book #1 it was his first time with a woman when he and Avery were intimate. In this book, his ex tells Avery that they screwed all over his apartment, and Avery says she knows? (We find out soon that that was a bit of a lie.) Then a bit later while still at his place, Lorenzo says he doesn't want to take her in a bed where he's had other women. Other women besides even Abigail!
I had been a bit excited to read previously that he hadn't been with other women before. He stated it multiple times! This actually peeved me off that this suddenly changed so much in this book. HUGE inconsistency. Can't express enough. It may seem silly, but it annoyed me. Why say he had never been with a woman in that way before if he has been with multiple? ... Okay, I'm done ranting. (Virgin MCs are a favourite trope of mine, so it stuck out a lot for me!)
Things I liked:
I love Avery's friend, Melissa. She's probably actually my favourite character. She was bad@$$, got stuff done, was an amazing friend, and ended up even better than we thought by the end.
I kind of like the way Avery's siblings were dealt with... kind of. I feel they got off too light, but at least the way Grace was handled was satisfying. (Again, point for Melissa.)
Overall, the trilogy was okay. Avery somewhat stopped being a doormat (kind of, it was still a work in progress and usually needed a nudge from one of her friends), she and the guys were more open about communication, and that was basically the end.
**SPOILER** There was no decision if they'd choose to be immortal or not, but while normally that would bug me, by the end, I think I stopped caring.
It isn't a series I'll likely read again. It wasn't bad, really. I think the writing just annoyed me at times, the inconsistency, things happening that didn't have much point, etc.
