The OK Trap Corral
OMg! I’m overwhelmed by all of the activities and convoluted characters in this three book series 😥. “Trapstar 3: The Finale” was a good read but I’ll be honest I’m throughly confused…I need to allow this book’s “OK Trap Corral” events to ruminate for a moment. …that was a lot. .. Brandon character was a convenient distraction. Other than occasionally give Brianna the business, him being an attorney wasn’t germane to the book; also, when did Eagle get out of prison?

Not bad!
Too many additional characters were introduced with no real background. Brianna and her brother relationship didn’t build nor did his character. He was introduced to us in jail and than BAM he and his sister had a relationship. Then the final book left us with another cliffhanger. Overall it was a good book but no background on new characters, they just showed up. That is why I gave it 4 stars and not 5

Awesome Series
Great series and I mostly only read romance novels but choose this one because of Mr. Karrington. There were a lot of twists and turns but it kept me intrigued! Very Good Series!

Well Brianna, Jonathan and Cherrisse live to see another day much to the dismay of Herman. The siblings ban together to ensure they and their mother are safe from Herman’s crazy antics. Great finale to the series.

Now we getting somewhere and all the drama is unfolding quick, fast and in a hurry. I couldn't put this one down. I think she should've held her ground with MHB though. The ending is driving me nuts because I'm thinking it's going to be Tre. Can't really figure that one out so I guess I'll wait for the next one unless it takes too long to come out.
