I didn't like this as much as the first book. The beginning felt extremely rushed. I felt like I missed a lot. It picks up after Charlotte receives word from Finn that he's still alive. The entire first book focused on her relationship with Bly, but Charlotte is so conflicted since Finn is still alive, she runs off to a random beach and low and behold, Finn is there. Way too coincidental for me. They go back to tell Bly she's leaving him. I was totally thrown. There were too many unanswered questions like: What happened after Finn was kidnapped? How did he escape? Why would Charlotte break off her engagement for him? I needed more of a transition. As the story unfolds, we get a glimpse at Charlotte and Finn's past, but I think that should have been introduced first so the reader isn't lost. After Finn and Charlotte run off, the story did start to settle down and the flow improved. Some scenes still remained rushed but I wasn't as lost as I was in the beginning.Charlotte and Finn finally find their HEA and life starts to return to normal until Bly shows back up. I expected him to go all cave man on Charlotte, but he didn't. He kept his cool. He still loves her and told her as much, but Charlotte rebuked him. Charlotte thinks she's done with Bly for good but Bly isn't defeated so easily and he drops a bomb in her lap at the end. You'll never be bored reading this series but sometimes the writing feels rushed and stilted.
