 I finally just decided to buy this ebook since our OverDrive isn't offering it for our library, which is how I read the first two in the series. I liked parts of this, mostly the Cinderella-esque rags to riches and Vice's personality. I think the strongest part of this series is the way the leading women feel flawed and independent and realistic, not always right, but often endearing. This book had a terribly unbelievable meet cute for me, even with the hand-wavy "it's a romance novel!" mindset I use to approach this series, and I didn't love the story's resolution. But it was a still a quick mostly fun read, and I don't regret finishing out the series, even if it's not my favorite.
