Two things happened in this book that are two of my particular pet peeves:

1. One character gives everything, the other one takes: Evan was the one that made all the effort in this relationship. When they were young, they had dated but Kendall left him without an explanation because she misinterpreted the way he reacted to something. Instead of calling him out like any normal person, she never talks to him again, crushing the guy, who was crazy in love with her. Her behavior was of course, abomin ...more

Hmm, if I hadn't read the first two books of the series, this might have been a 4 star read, but as a 4th installment, it's sort of disappointing. I mean, I ate through the pages. The story had me hooked, but then once it was over, looking back on the journey...it left me with an "only 3 stars" taste in my mouth.

I found that I liked Evan a lot more in this book than any of the others. His previous bitter attitude was explained here, but unlike Suzanne in the last book, he didn't cling to his bitterness throughout the book, he heaved it off himself as soon as possible, in keeping with his impulsive character. And for the rest of the book, I really liked him. But I still like Elec the best, even if his name is the worst.

Then there's Kendall. On the one hand, go girl. The Danika Patrick of the circle. On the other hand, really? Even Imogen, who seems to really have some issues, is a cooler cucumber than Kendall (and I liked her a heckovalot more). WTF. She really let me down at the epiphany and while Evan was living a nightmare, instead of standing by her man, she made him completely relive the worst moments of his life. And not for any therapeutic reason, just because she's a weak-willed idiot. And has no where NEAR the class that Tamara has (who dealt with the SAME nightmare situation, with Evan's brother, no less, but came through with flying colors...and can I get a gut-check on the plot devices? Four books, almost identical plot devices in books #1 and #4, not very original). And then suddenly one sentence jolts her back to herself and viola, she stops being an idiot. Whatever.

Yeah for the HEA, Evan deserved that one with spades. Not quite in the same way that I was pulling for Ryder's HEA, but had no idea why the hell he wanted to be with Suzanne. But close.

So the first two books are so going into my personal library. I'm on the fence about the third, but it could make it on Ryder alone. The jury's out. But this one may just linger at the library in case I ever get a hankering to relive this piece of Evan's journey.

Bring on Tuesday and Diesel's story. Do I have to wait until October? Shucks. ...more

This was a good read. I really enjoyed both Evan and Kennedy's characters.

I'm looking forward to Tuesday's story in Slow Ride :D ...more

This was cute, but I would have liked the (view spoiler) prior to the end of the book, but I'm hoping we'll find out more of that in the next book. Kendall really pissed me off by not fighting for what she wanted. I gave her a break when she did that when she was 18. She was a kid then. But to have her to the same thing 10 years later was just too much for me. I don't think she deserved Evan to tell you the truth. ...more
