I liked this okay, though I found Riley to be as immature as I did in Midnight Whispers. He was a bit too forthcoming about things he should've kept to himself.

Even so, it was a nice read, though again, there were glaring editing issues. The first one is the second word in the book when residence is used instead of residents.

I still like Riley and Cass together, and I can't wait to read Griffin's story. He's hilarious.

"Do you think the fact that we can slip into each other's minds makes us more in love?" Riley thought it might have deepened the connection a lot quicker than if they hadn't had that link.
"I think I'm more in love with you every day." Cass cupped Riley's cheek, giving him a kiss. "You're stuck with me."
"More every day." Riley contemplated those words. "I like that."
