My Review:
What a bunch of self-absorbed narcissists! There are ways this storyline could have been done that would have had me invested in Cassie, Reed, and even Dirk rather than being disgusted by their actions. As with the previous book, I have serious issues with the relationship boundaries this story crosses. I HATE cheaters! I honestly believe that if you want to start another one, then you need to fully exit the relationship you’re currently in first. To me, Reed came across as a spineless sap who has an unhealthy obsession with a woman he really doesn’t know. He has zero ability to stand up for himself. It really bugged me that he could just abandon the company he’s a founding partner of without a single care or concern. Cassie wasn’t much better, she might even have been worse. Not only does she apparently not have the ability to think for herself, she’s manipulative too. Dirk may have been a thoroughly vile human being, but at least he displayed some backbone. It might be because of the length of the story, but the characters felt very flat. I thought Reed forgave Cassie far too easily. And I was utterly incensed by his line ‘I suddenly realized that I had been completely selfish in my reaction to this situation. I had failed to think about it all from her perspective.’ Excuse me?! He’s worried that he hurt the feelings of the woman who lied to, manipulated, and seduced him? Nope. Not happening in my universe. I also would have killed for a little bit more detail about what happened to bring about the epilogue. It’s a very sweet ending, but there’s a whole lot of water under that bridge that I needed to know more about. I’ve read books from further on in the series and I mostly enjoyed them. Other than the author’s skill with the English language, I’m having difficulties reconciling that these are part of the same series.
