This book was received from the publisher
in exchange for an honest review.
This NA series was awesome. I really enjoyed the spotlight
on ‘revenge sex,’ which is something that I’ve never really heard about.
Caroline is pure greatness. I loved her development that has
been growing ever since the beginning of the first installment. She is strong and
extremely mature in her convictions and I thought the decisions she made were
the best she could have done. I really admired her so much and I definitely
looked up to her.
West, West, West…he made me crazy in this book. There were
times I wanted to give him a big hug but then times when I wanted to slug him
in the face! Unlike Caroline, some of the decisions he made were really
immature but I loved when he grew up. He had so many new responsibilities and I
was really proud of him and his small ears. :)
As I said before, I hadn’t really heard of revenge sex before
reading this book and I loved the spotlight on it. It’s an awful thing and I cannot
believe it is legal in so many states. Something must be done about it. I loved
the dual POV, but sometimes I felt that the chapters were too long for me
personally. The love was also more mature in this installment and I loved how
they were there for each other through the hard times no matter what.
I am sad that this series is over, but maybe Frankie (West’s
little sister) can get a book when she’s all grown up? Please?
Favorite Swoon-worthy Quote: When she takes a step toward me, I grab her at the waist and pull her in.
I get her right up against me, get my hands in all that hair, and I kiss her as
if I’d never stopped. As if we can start right up again, right now, and pretend
everything in the middle never happened. She tastes like she always did. Hot
and eager, wet and sinuous. Amazing. (From an advanced, uncorrected reader copy. Quote may not appear in final copy.)
