Really cannot understand the fantastic reviews

Revisado: 10-04-19

This book is stupid. That's the only word that I can come up with. I am pretty open-minded about it all, but there is so much sex between two people who supposedly hate one another. And sex in public places. And her behavior at work. I just shake my head at the ridiculousness of it all. I like books to at least be in the realm of possibilities, and this one seems so out in left field. Just could not like it.

Not that great

Revisado: 10-04-19

I really really really did not like the female lead. She acted more like my 14 year old than a 21 year old. It was hard to see why a man 15 years older than her would WANT to be with her. He went on and on about her beauty, but she acted like a spoiled child. Most of her abandonment issues were unwarranted. And she did not have to act like a whiny baby about it! I mean, she legit started freaking out because her dad and step mom had to leave a night out early while she was away from the table. They asked someone to bring her home. They did not "leave her" in the sense that she acted like they did. It was crazy town.

If you manage to make it through this book...

Revisado: 09-13-19

If you manage to make it through this book, please do not bother with the next. I wanted to like these books. Mainly because I like the narrators (sad, I know). This book was "okay" - not great by any means. But good enough to have me purchase the second book. I got about a third of the way through the second and returned it. I did not like where it was going and I went and read some spoilers and REALLY did not like where it would go. There is nothing redeeming about these characters. And if you think Lake is young and naive in this book, then just wait. She honestly gets worse. If I could go back I would not have even started this series!

Really do not understand all the great reviews

Revisado: 03-26-19

First the narrator: she sounds so wimpy and scared (voice cracking and what not) - and there is no male narrator. Now for the story. There barely is a story. You have a very foolish female lead, who continues to do stupid stupid stuff, believes the wrong people with no clear reason as to why she believes them over others, and who is untruthful herself but thinks others should be completely truthful with her. She is an idiot. She is one of those characters from horror movies that do ALL the wrong things while being chased by the killer. There is build up to the romance and you do not even feel like there is a reason for the two characters to be together except for the fact that they are in the same place at the same time. This was a let down book.

I guess I am in the minority . .

Revisado: 02-14-19

I did not really care for this book nor the narrators (especially the male narrator). I will start with the story. Ok, so they meet, click, and then one of them realizes that they know each other online under different names. I guess the problem I have with this whole concept is that Mia felt like Lexi was her BFF and told her all kinds of things. But in this day and age, shouldn't we all be a little more careful about what we tell total strangers online. I mean, I get that she thought she was talking to a woman and the author of her favorite books; but come on.... can you ever be totally sure who you are talking to? I mean, for all she knew, she had been corresponding with the person who answered the authors e-mail for her, etc. Assuming that you KNOW exactly who you are communicating with online is just STUPID. And then she gets all huff and self-righteous because he did not tell her - even though #1 - he did try, but got interrupted, #2 - once he knew who she was, he had kept their convos minimal, and #3 - he never sought her out. In fact, it seemed from the story that Lexi was never the one who initiated the convos with Mia - I always felt like Mia was pushing a friendship with Lexi just cause she liked the idea that she was "such close friends" with her favorite author.
Now for the male narrator - his voice got on my nerves, especially when he was doing the female voice. And lets not even talk about him doing the female voice during sex scenes. He sounded like he was trying to emulate a porn star. And he spoke so fast - as if he wanted us to feel how frenzied it was - but it just came across as weird.

DULL

Revisado: 08-20-18

I guess I just don't understand all the people saying this book was fantastic. It was pretty dull, as far as I was concerned. I listened to all 13 HOURS of it - WAITING for SOMETHING to happen. Yes, there are developments throughout the story, but all in all this book just went on and on about nothing really. Do not waste your money!

Just Terrible!

Revisado: 03-20-17

This book is awful. The narrator should never be allowed to do a male voice. She makes him sound so so stupid. I think she was trying to do a southern accent while also doing a male voice and it just came out all wrong.
But the narrator was not all that was wrong. This book is just poorly written. Without giving too much away, it did not make much sense to me that "Sass" wanted this guy her whole life, then when she got him, she was pushing him away. It was like the author was looking for problems where there were not any and not going after what could have been real issues for the couple to deal with. The whole book seemed rushed and lacked content. Please please save your money and buy something else. This is just a waste of time.

This EASILY could have been one book!

Revisado: 09-29-16

This book is the first of 3. It easily could have been one book. Take out some of the sex and you have plenty of time to fit the story in. That being said, I am being very liberal with the use of the word "story." The 2 main characters fall "in love" in record time based on nothing more than their sexual chemistry. They honestly know nothing about one another. There is too much sex and not nearly enough character development. And both Jade and Talon are completely annoying. it makes you not care if they are able to work things out or not. Please do not waste your money.

Not worth it

Revisado: 06-29-16

I have no idea why this book would get good reviews. It is terrible. None of the characters give you any reason to care what happens to them. The female character is a complete idiot. The first 7/8 of the book is nothing but sex with no story development at all. You only find out the "why" at the very last second, so it seemed rushed. The only reason it gets 2 overall stars is because of the narrators.

I do not care how realistic it is . . .

Revisado: 05-13-16

This book may be realistic, but it that is not its biggest flaw. In my opinion, it is WAY too long. This book covers the time period of a few weeks, but takes forever. I realize we have to go back in time to learn certain things that feed into why the characters do the things they do. But it was just too drawn out. And not to mention how terrible the main character, Sadie, is. Selfish does not even begin to describe it. I realize her marriage was "perfect" and then all of a sudden it wasn't. But it had only been 2 months of non-perfection. 2 months out of 7 years and she turns her back on the whole thing? What kind of sense does that make. And all her thoughts of how "if I am selfish, its only because Nate made me this way!" That, in and of itself is a selfish statement. Not wanting to take any responsibility for anything. A person who is proud of the fact that they never feel guilt. I honestly cannot understand why EITHER of these men wanted her.
