Thoughts: Out of all the books in the series, this one felt just a little off to me. I liked the story, I liked the characters, but it seemed off-kilter. Part of it was due to the fact that we had our first female character that is already married….to someone else. Not a deal breaker – however, it wasn’t addressed as much as I feel it should have been in the book. There was even a block of time that passes in which you would assume she makes the break from her relationship, but no. It just didn’t seem like enough of a big stumbling block for our couple.
The rest of the story was great – how they meet, fall in love, get their HEA. I felt like the marriage to someone else was unnecessary – it just didn’t play a big enough role in the book to make it worth writing it in – for me anyway. Maybe if the guy was just her boyfriend it would have fit a little better, but it just made me feel like it was a jigsaw puzzle that didn’t fit together.
Overall, it was just okay – parts of it worked for me, parts of it didn’t. It’s probably my least favorite of the series thus far, but still a decent read.
