spelling mistakes on every single page
The grammatical errors often made it difficult to read .i had to re- read sentences over again to try to figure what the author was saying . The story was fine with ,as expected , a hea . Hopefully someone else will proof read her next book .

Hard to put the book down once i started reading
Love how this book continues the story of the wallflower circle of friends. The chemistry between Damien and Agatha was captivating. I rated 4 stars due to the spelling/editing errors that were distracting but I enjoyed the story immensely. Looking forward to Adalyns story.

For the most part I enjoyed this book. Although two-thirds of the way it seemed as if the author got some things jumbled and confused me to how things were playing out. Overall, I was left with the feeling that the author over compensated to make the book last longer. I also found quite a few errors in spelling.

Always look forward to this author
A very enjoyable read. I was a bit put off by the many typos. I thought this was a finished copy, but seemed more like an ARC. I always look forward to this author’s work

Great story
I would have given you five stars if there hadn’t been so many spelling errors. The story flows along and engages the reader.
