If you've read my reviews of the other books in this series, you know I was looking forward to this book. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. That's not to say it wasn't a good book, I still enjoyed the story. I just expected more.

First, it started off kind of slow. The hero, Dex, and heroine, Ellie, come into each other's lives pretty quickly. But the real story doesn't really start until about a third of the way in. Then, once it does get going, it becomes repetitive. Can I trust him, will she leave, should I risk my heart, etc., etc.

Unlike the other books in this series, I wasn't really invested in the relationship. It's really hard for me to pinpoint what the problem was. I like both characters, I liked the idea of Ellie's background, I even liked the history of their relationship. Somehow, in all of that, I still was missing the emotion.

On the other hand, I have complained a bit about some of the other books glossing over serious issues. That was not done in this story. Ms. Foster could have went another direction with Ellie's story, she kind of took the easier path, but she didn't gloss over the story altogether. I have to commend that, at least.

Like I said, not as good as previous books in the series but still worth the read. And I can always hope it's a fluke and the next book will go back to the awesomeness I've come to expect.
