So, I think this book may have false started a little bit. The author had originally planned to release in November, I think, after having personal delays. Which is fine, life happens. I would rather wait for a book to be amazing than have an author rush and get mediocre. I don’t know if that maybe happened in this case? The book then released in December but disappeared from availability within weeks. It then showed up again as revised, but the author is also releasing a traditional romance with the same characters, by the same name?Which is super confusing, and a little misleading, I feel. From what I understand of her catalog, that’s pretty par for the course. I feel bad for her characters a little, that she can’t just let them have their story. If the muse says they go traditional romance, then run with it. If the muse says RH, that’s cool too, but to have every story be both ways sort of feels disjointed, like she can’t make up her mind or commit to the story, and I think this story suffered for it.
Whether it matters or not, I didn’t read this book until it was re-released as revised.
Like the second book, the third instalment jumps straight in. I really, really liked the first two books in this series, but I struggled with this one a bit. Maybe it’s because I really liked the first two books so much that I feel much more let down by this book. This book really focuses on Foster, Sky, and East, though we do see glimpses of Porter, but not much else in the way of the other brothers. By book 3, I would normally like to see the MC building more relationships than Sky has with the brothers at this point, even if it were just as friends. I know it’s described as slow burn, and adding to a harem over time is perfectly fine, but this doesn’t really even feel like slow burn at this point. It seems stalled. This book also has multiple POV’s, which I normally quite like, but it really bounced around a lot. It just felt confusing, and even though it’s over 200 pages, it also felt rushed because you don’t ever feel like you’re getting a whole view. All in, the story was okay. I was torn between three stars and four, but the deciding factor for me is how I view the series now. Four stars, for me, means better than alright, and there’s no way I would DNF the series. At this point I’m three books in, but if this story had been written as a first book, I likely wouldn’t continue. However, I like these characters. After three books, I’m still invested in their story. So, I’m going to give it one more book, and we’ll see how it goes. I’m hoping this is just a blip and the next book brings it back. I don’t want to DNF the series, but at the same time, I won’t force myself through it for the sake of it.
