Complimentary advance copy provide by In exchange for an honest review. Thank you
Ms. Jones!
5 delicious stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Often, when I read an MC series I go into it a bit nervous. Mostly because the follow on books and characters usually fall flat and can never supersede book one. That is not the case here. Nope. Nope.
I liked book one, than read book two and I enjoyed it more, but now that I have read book three, omg! I'm like holy hell, that was soo good... I'm excited to see what else will happen and what new cluster fucks will occur in the new series.
Ok enough of that. This is Ade and Kalie's story....
Ade Nixon is the Sinful Souls VP. He is arrogant, over the top, the club's killer and of course the biggest man whore. He also has a mean steak but I loved Ade. I also hated him. It was awesome! He was awesome! Man, the things that came out of his mouth had me either creaming for more or wanting to slap the shit out of him.
Kalie-Rose is Vicky and Phoebe's best friend (They are both in the previous books). Kalie is a famous dancer, completely innocent, and a bit naive at times. Fortunately she was never TSTL or beyond annoying. Clap-clap for her.
I can't go into to much depth with my review because it will just ruin the story. However, THIS BOOK IS DARKER AND HAS SEXUAL VIOLENCE IN IT so caution for those who have triggers.
The book picks up right after book two, if you haven't read it, that's fine, but I advise you do, it will only help with the story.
In book two we know Kalie and Vicky go to a bar to get drunk and help Kalie get over her relationship with a jerk who dumps her for not sleeping with him. This is how Vicky and Kalie meet the Sinful Souls. Kalie decides she is done with being a virgin and decides Ade would be perfect to remedy that problem for her. They both agree that nothing but that night will happen between them and go their separate ways. For next two years there is zero communication between them but neither of them can stop thinking about the other.
Two years later Kalie is set to visit Westbeach for two weeks because she's a bridesmaid for Vicky. Ade sees Kalie he decides he will stop at nothing to get her and Ade is just ridiculous. Oh my god he was crazy. Lol. He's super jealous, beyond possessive and at times a bit psycho. I freaken loved it! The sex between him and Kalie. Holy Moly.
“He grinds his hips into me in a circular motion, bringing his mouth down to mine and licking me from my collarbone to my lips. He just licked me. It felt predatory, possessive and proprietorial."
The past comes back and something big happens. I lose it and totally cry. You have to read it!
Don't fret we get an HEA.

Holy man tattoos – first if you can stop licking the cover then you can move onto the story. I clicked this one up because it was free on Kindle Unlimited and now .. I will be clicking up the ones I have missed. The only issue is that it seems the first book is only in paperback. Hopefully at some point it will be release e-style. If it is somewhere e-style hit me up and let me know!
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: *You do not need to read the other books in this series before reading this one, it is recommended though*
First I agree with the statement from the author. I really wanted to know about the existing characters outside of Ade and Kalie-Rose. However it didn’t hinder me loving this story. I also need to say that if you have triggers for violent abuse then please do not pick this one up.
Kalie is the good girl. At 21 she is still a virgin as she didn’t want to lost something so valuable to any plain boy. After her boyfriend dumps her due to not putting out she decides its time to get wild. However she wants a hot man, a no looking back one night to give her virginity to on a silver platter. Someone who knows what he is doing. That man … is Ade Nixon. The hot ass tattooed man that busted down the door and ruined her drunk ass threesome she was about to have with Blake and Vicky.
Ade Nixon claims he saved Kalie from the biggest mistake she almost made. He cant believe his ears when the girl who in a few short moments has crushed his hard heart into pieces with just one look just offered him her virginity. He knows he shouldn’t but what he’s feeling is foreign to him and he wants this; wants this from her; this beautiful woman that is too good for him.
Two years later
Ade’s life is laid open to us. His childhood was horrific being drug into illegal fighing where he killed his first person in the ring in a death match as a young teenager. Why; his father brought him there to fight. Killing is in his blood and that is why he is now the hit man for the Sinful Souls MC. He is emotionally cut off except for one person and he hasn’t seen her for two years. The dark consumes him. The only time it didn’t or doesn’t is when he thinks of her.
Kalie hopes that Ade wont remember her as she heads to Vicky and Blake’s wedding. Why would he? He’s probably been with so many women since her that her face blends in with the rest. Walking into the MC Clubhouse everything she has convinced herself of … nope. Ade knows exactly who she is and wants to have her again. Kalie has been with no one since that night two years ago. There hasn’t been anyone that could have even compared to Ade so why waste her time. Carter, her roommate has a new man bedded every night so living through him is all she needs.
Lots of sparks are launched on these pages but the kicker …. The happiest day of Vicky and Blakes life is turned into a horrific scene when Alaina (Zane’s wife) and Kalie are taken. Something is very wrong. Addy is acting strange, Felix is following her around like a lost puppy and Drago cant seem to get a bead on where the girls have been taken and by who. Until … Drago digs deeper .. Ade and Zane’s worst nightmare just came to life.
I gave this book, although I love it, 4.5 stars because I hadn’t read the other books. Im sure that if I had it would be a 5 star. I always like to know exactly why characters are together and what their background is. Although authors do say books are standalones that lie within a series .. I like to have them all in order. This was a great read .. but its dark … very dark in several points. Beware on that note. I can tell you it wasn’t bad for my taste but I can read almost anything with no issues unless it involves children or animals being hurt. (I know .. I know – crazy.)
Grab this one up and consider the others as well – Review to post on Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets.

Hmmmm........I'm conflicted in my thoughts/ rating here.. Which is rare for me. This is the third book in the series and it is about Kalie , (a friend of Vicky , Phoebe and Alaina) and Ade, the tattooed, pierced, hot and slightly unhinged enforcer / hit man that is a big part of the MC.
Now, this book was going swimmingly, apart from some editorial issues, until it took a completely unexpected and dark ( we are talking pitch black) turn. SPOILERS FROM NOW ON....DO NOT READ ON IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW....... Alaina and Kalie are abducted and endure hideous violence and sexual assault. More hideous violence ensues.. That was grim reading but I was fine with it. Then Kalie blames Ade and leaves him.. It isn't his fault but she is angry, distressed , beaten. She needs space. Ade thinks he will give her space but whilst he is doing that , he is also doing club whores. And that right there is my main reason for dropping my rating. Not only does he have sex with at least 2 whores, he gets so angry with one of them because he was drunk and doesn't remember , that he snaps her neck and kills her. W-T-F???????
Also, we get a flashback of him years ago having sex with Abby. Didn't like her at all. Then, everything felt like it was just swept under the carpet and they rolled off into the sunset.
It had the potential to be a great story but ....eh....the Hero having sex with ow , when he has connected with the heroine, doesn't do it for me.. Nor does a man killing a woman because he is angry.

Sorry to stray from the pack but...
I didn't understand how Kalie got over what happened to her so quickly and I'm even more perplexed as to how fast Ade slipped into his whorish ways. But that's all fine and dandy because that's just how he "copes." The whole Kalie being with other guys and NOT even having SEX with them is a big no no for Ade but it's okay for him to be with all these other girls sexually? Okay then. I didn't feel or see any of the love Ade and Kalie claimed to have felt for each other and a lot of the scenes felt rushed.

Review to follow.......

Loved this after re read!!!!
October 8, 2020
Ohhh I was waiting to get their story .... Kalie is a pretty sheltered, well more then the other two leading ladies but all in all I think she handled everything okay. We got to see the others in this book also. Her and Alaina go through something horrible together. I think she could have handled it differently but I get that she needed time. Now lets move on to Ade... can you say crazy, hot, yummmmm, and crazy !!! I loved him he almost moved up to my top hero in this series until I wanted to throat punch him in a few parts of this book. I won't say anymore than that about it because I don't want to spoil it!! All in all a great series!!

One of my big conditions for a 5 star rating is how invested in the story I become. When a story has me still fuming even after it's over, I'm going to give the highest rating. Tainted Love has met that criteria for me, as I finished it hours ago, and I'm still highly irritated at some of the mistakes, because I LOVED this story!
Kalie-Rose is a talented dancer living in Hollywood Hills, and she dances for Hollywood elite. She gave up her virginity 2 years before to a man she just met, and he ruined her for all others. Never did she think she would run into him again. Ade Nixon is the VP of Sinful Souls MC who battles huge demons. The night he met Kalie, he felt a connection, and she silenced those demons. When they are both in the same wedding party, he finds that he has real feelings for her, and decides to make her his. Will he be able to be the man she can love, or will his demons send her running?
OMG this book was intense! The character development is fantastic, although I'm not going to lie, I'm still very pissed off at some of Ade's bad choices. A fast paced, exciting, and well written story line flows very smoothly. Amo Jones does a fantastic job catching my attention from page 1, and held it hostage long after I finished the book. There are some very intense parts that had my heart ready to explode out of my chest, and are highly emotional. Simmering chemistry flew out of my kindle, until the SIZZLIN' sexy scenes exploded. Tainted Love is not your flowery romance, but it's raw and gritty that seriously set me off. I cannot wait to read more of this author, and I happily HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Reviewed on behalf of 2 girl who love books blog
This is a stand-alone MC book but is part of a series. Each book is about a different member of the sinful souls MC. There are triggers in this story that could cause distress it has darker parts to the story. If your looks for rainbows and unicorns don’t bother reading if you like bad ass muscled up bikers then this book is for you!
So this is the story of Ade Nixon vice president of the sinful souls MC. He has grown up in the MC and knows it inside out. Ade had a hard start in life with his dad making him fight from a very tender age. When his dad died he carried on fighting to earn money for his mum but she couldn’t cope without her soul mate and so took her own life. Ade then shut himself off from all emotion until one fateful night when he’s out drinking with his brothers and comes across a pair of girls who are out having a good time. He takes one look and decides he wants her if only for one night then he can get her out of his system and carry on with his life.
Kalie is as innocent as they get still a virgin and swearing to keep it that way until she marries. SH is a fantastic character and is very loveable. When she comes across Ade ne night while she’s out with her friend Vicky she knows life will never be the same again!. Kalie loses her virginity to Ade and as predicted she is ruined for any other man as no one will do for her unless it is non-other than Ade Nixon.
Kalie has no idea about Ades life but knows she wants to be part of it. Follow the two of them as they go through lots of testing times together as well as apart. I can’t really say much more about the story line as it is fantastic and I would hate to ruin it for readers. What I can say is you will not be disappointed. If you like a good MC book with hot men dirty sex and serious story lines then read this book.
My only dislike was the reference to 50 shades of grey it had no place in this story!!
I rate this story 5 stars

I was given an ARC of this in return for an honest review!
Ade Nixon is the vice president of the Sinful Souls MC, with his tough, no prisoners taken attitude. That is until he meets 21 year old virginal Kalie-Rose on that one night that changes everything!
Two years later a wedding brings them together and sets them on a roller coaster ride toward their happy ever after.
WOW! WOW! WOW! Ade is all kinds of hot!
Tainted Love can be read as a standalone as there is no cliffhanger. This is the first book i have read by Amo Jones but i will be adding the previous two books in this series to my "TBR".
I was promised a dark and gritty read and this is exactly what i got and the reason i love MC reads. I love the angst and drama that comes with being a dark and mysterious member of an MC, these were the reasons it kept me turning the pages. I was hooked!!!
Some parts of this story were particularly difficult to read, due to their upsetting nature but they just added to the atmosphere of the book.
The story is well written and kept me turning the pages until the very end. Ade is the ultimate bad boy, Amo Jones has written the perfect combination tattoos, bad boy allure and suspense. What more could a girl want?
Overall this story is perfect for all of you MC readers, who enjoy a brilliantly written MC story with enough grit and drama to hooked until the end. You don't have to have read the first two books but after reading this one, you may just want to.
Due to the upsetting content, if you are sensitive to such material i wouldn't suggest you read this as the going gets pretty tough but it's totally worth it.
I gave it 5 stars as it really deserves them.

Wow, this is one exciting ride from start to finish
Tainted Love is the third book in the Sinful Souls MC by Amo Jones. This is the first book I have read by Amo Jones and it absolutely will not be my last. It's definitely an exciting ride from start to finish. The book is a stand-alone, even though it is part of a series, and you do not have to read the previous two to understand and enjoy the story being told.
Ade Nixon is the VP of the Sinful Souls MC, a gorgeous man but a dangerous one as well. Kalie-Rose is a dancer, she dances for Hollywood's elite. The story starts off where they meet and Ade takes the one thing Kalie has been holding onto her virginity. Kalie is the woman Ade cannot remove from his system, he wants her, but he has a reputation to uphold. He's a hard-core, arrogant, handsome, manwhore who uses his fists rather than talk. Kalie remained a sweet woman throughout the story, although she does go through some very hard trials and tribulations. Somehow, though, she remains intact and I felt kind of in awe of her at times. Ade's protective instincts kick in and the story flows really well as the story unfolds.
At times this book is hard to read, it covers some rather unsettling darker topics, but it is done extremely well. You feel yourself in the action, and to me that's a sign of a very good author.
This book is a must, a great MC series and I give this a well-deserved five-star rating.

Tainted by definition is: a trace of something bad, offensive, or harmful.
Love by definition is: a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
So what do you get when you mix the two? Tainted love - a love so strong, so powerful it's dangerous, explosive and down right addictive!
Tainted Love by Amo Jones is the first book I have read from this amazing author, and I'm so glad I started with this book. Ade Nixon is a deliciously flawed, tattooed, pierced and damaged biker for the Sinful Soul's MC club.
Kalie-Rose is a dancer, no, not one of those, she's a hip hop dancer in the Hollywood hills. She is pure and kind and has no experience with men - at all.
When Kalie and Ade meet for the first time, his magnetism toward her is undeniable, he draws her into his dark side and their connection is explosive. After one night together, their lives are forever bound, whether they know it or not.
This book was captivating with a brilliant twist that I did not see coming at all - a real smack in the face which I loved. Ade and Kalie are a great combination and the side characters are just as awesome. If you haven't read Tainted Love, I suggest you do! I can't wait to read more of Amo's work. Good job Miss Jones, good job!
Love by definition is: a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
So what do you get when you mix the two? Tainted love - a love so strong, so powerful it's dangerous, explosive and down right addictive!

Things don't get more hotter than a book full of hot, alpha biker guys. Ade is about as alpha as they come, besides being the club's V.P, he's also a hit man and as fighting experience. He first sees Kalie when she's out with her friends and its love at first sight. He's beyond pissed when he sees her go back with Blake. He goes all alpha on her but soon he shows his sweet side. Kalie, is such a strong character but doesn't feel she can handle all that includes Ade. He on the other hand, is determined to show her a)he loves her, wants to own her and have her forever, she isn't having that. Sure he's gorgeous but what he does throws off a bit and b) determined to show her that she is a biker babe. He has his full with her. This book offers everything you love about MC books, you have the action and gruesome world of biker clubs along with the sweet yet Alpha side with their women. I absolutely loved Ade and Kalie, along with all the other bikers and their women plus Carter in this book. I see myself checking out the other books in this series as well. Very well done with this one!!

*Book received in exchange for an honest review*
Holy crap! This book was explosive! is this seriously the same author as the one who wrote the first two?
I didn't particularly enjoy the first two books for many different reasons, but this one was off the charts hot!! Not only that, but the storyline was superb! This is one that would definitely give you a book hangover!
Ade is a character that you will swoon all over yet be deeply disturbed by all at once. He has some characteristics that highly annoyed me...like sleeping with a whole straight after all shit hit the fan with Kalie. that was just wrong.
But...Kalie wasn't innocent in all this either. At some points in the book I wanted to slap her myself. To me she can be a little irritating and at parts I didn't understand her at all.
Overall, this book has given me a blinder of a book hangover and I'm actually looking forward to reading the next one!

Okay, so it's my first time to write a book review, I dont know anything about writing a review either but I must say I was so so so moved by this book. I got obsessed i think. INTENSEEEEE IS THE RIGHT WORD TO DESCRIBE THIS. The characters are match made in heaven, Ade's character... Oh God he send shivers down my spine, I think he's the man of my dreams, tattooed, pierced, bad boy, i can picture him out perfectly and i'm in love with his character.. Shit i cant move on. Lol kalie, yes, she's the one for him i love kalie i cant specifically describe her attitude but i love her for him. They were so so perfect for each other.. Plus the song's on kalie's playlist oh god. I cant help but pause my reading and listen to her songs and feeling it too.. I created a movie inside my head. And it was PERFECT. I cant say more. God i need to move on!!!!

Ade and Kalie are now my favorite. This was such an emotional book, wow. Ade and Kalie met the same time as Blake and Vicky. So again, some of the story overlaps previous stories. She ends up giving him her virginity that night, but then never see each other after that. Now two years later, and she is going to have to see him again at Blake and Vicky's wedding. Ade is a dark person, he had a not so great childhood that pushed him into the way he is. Kalie was his light. The past always catches up though, and it was heartbreaking to read when it did. I was happy with the epilogue. Would love a story that sums all three couples to a future point. Great read, great couple, just be prepared for an emotional ride.

Kalie-Rose is a good girl that is tired of being so good. her and her friend go out looking for some trouble to get into, but Kalie never bargained to find that trouble in the form of Ade Ade is the VP of the Sinful Souls MC, and he is sexy af!! when these two meet it is explosive and you want, no, you need to know more! Amo sure makes it easy to fall in love with her characters and put yourself into the story with them all. i stayed up way too late to finish this book because i could not put it down. I am looking forward to reading more from Amo in the near future. Read by crissy for HeadTripping Books Review Team

I was gifted this ARC,for an honest review.Tainted Love is the story of Kalie-Rose,she is a talented dancer in many music videos.Ade Nixon is the Vice President of the Sinful Souls MC.Two worlds collide and begin a turbulent whirlwind of emotions and behavior on both of their parts.This story is not a fairytale,it's a heart wrenching journey of two people caught up in the lives they lead surviving to love each other.

Omg I loved Kalie and Ade they were such an awesome couple. This author is new to me so I was very much hooked. I am now totally going to be reading her two other books plus the next one I can't wait. There story was hot, sexy. Yes there is a lot of hardcore things that might not be everybodies cup of tea. There was, action, drama, you name it. I loved how she brought all the characters in. It had me on my toes the whole book. I read the book in two days.
September 19, 2015
OMG!!! I loved this book. Kalie-Rose and Ade are a very hot couple, even if Ade can be kind of cavemanish at times, LOL. I never thought I would be into piercings on a guy, but this story totally got me rethinking that big time!! I couldn't put this book down. I know this is the third book in this series, so now I am going to go and grab the first two as I gotta read more by this author now!!! I would definitely recommend this book. I would give it more stars if I could.

I soooo love a good MC...
this was perfect for me however my only gripe for other people would be please please read the others! The characters were so amazing and i would have loved to have read it from the start, although yes it can be a stand alone the female characters especially seem amazing and now i've read the third book, i feel i cannot read the rest as i know what happens to the others but i wish i read the others first.

I was given an ARC for a honest review and I really enjoyed the story. There were some things that bothered me but it was more of a personal preference thing. Sometimes I really hated Ade but I do love guys that will fight for their girl so I really liked that about him. Overall, a really awesome read and I look forward to seeing more from this author.

The idea and storyline was amazing
Spoiler alert 🚨 please note this was completely unintentional. Why no one gives away their version of the story that you want and may prevent you from reading the book in its entirely. A lot of the stuff I want to discuss in here that I believe is a spoiler are mainly little side entities that don’t actually build the full foundation of the storyline.
The entire foundation and context of the book was pretty much amazing. The development of Aiden and his backstory line and then his growth into love. All fantastic. Seriously I don’t like Abby. She just has to go; I just think she does some shady stuff.
Kalie-Rose is a very strong independent female who knows what she wants but it is timid and slightly insecure about getting, until she’s not. And when she’s not she’s something fierce.
Carter is fabulous; I also enjoyed Phoebe, Alaina, and Vicky.
So the Continuity in this book is off. And that became frustrating to me. So in the beginning Kalie discussed that her family was Mormon very strict and that when her mother saw her dancing to hip-hop she got rid of her dance studio and made it a place where the woman hung out at and she kind of doesn’t speak very nicely of her mother and it also comes to a point where Ade doesn’t like her either. Then we go to her liking her mother and talking about how she was like one of the best. Then we go to her mother being a cougar and possibly will be hitting on her boyfriend. It becomes all kind of confusing. Then there’s little things like misspelling of words and then more continuity issues.
Seriously when Alaina and Kalie are taken why wasn’t the group of assassins/Alania’s father called. Because he’s pretty lethal. How does the Russian mob not know who her father is. I’m just....mind boggled.
So overlooking all of that the contact is good and I think I appreciated how thick the story was. I don’t know if it’s supposed to be the very last of this series because it did speak upon all the three (3) main characters. But, you never know Because that girl I detest Abby could possibly get a book.
Also why does Blake sit to the right of Zane, as his right hand man. Where Ade is the Vice President? Still don’t get it. I honestly thought that he was the sergeant of arms and not vice president. In the beginning I thought that Blake was Vice President I don’t know. But I got through all three of them safe and sound during a nice holiday and I would totally recommend these books to others. You might not find all the things that I found. It’s just an idiosyncrasies of mine.
So as always happy reading and wine drinking.

4 Stars Emotional, Sexy RollerCoaster Ride SPOLIERS AHEAD
SPOILERS BELOW::: READ WITH CAUTION: You have been WARNED
Ok, just finished up this fantastic series!!! I am now a HUGE fan of Author Amo Jones and still cannot believe I hadn't read anything by her before this! From now on she has moved up top on my go-to list immediately!!!!
I loved Ade and I loved Kalie BUT again, there was the same issue I had with Blake. For my safety gang readers, this book will probably not be a go for you, but for me it was for the most part until it actually DID cross my hard limit line. I get that lines can be crossed BUT for me it really brought Ade down a whole level for me, hence my 4 star rating. He just couldn't keep it in his pants and for me that is a deal breaker. Now, I could see almost going to do it and then stopping before the "deed" BUT no, he didn't even do that and so that was very disappointing for me and my reading preferences. Now that was just one girl I read about, Phoebe made it out like he was man-whoring it up and AGAIN nothing was ever discussed. Again like with Blake, he was going to explaining to Kalie and they were gonna talk about "it" BUT again it never happened. So of course, I am left naturally thinking he slept with who knows how many before they got back together so yes, for me, it left me feeling very saddened by that fact:( The Epilogue was PERFECT!!!!!!
I still LOVE this crew, these characters, the storylines, etc.... BUT did it also have to go there to hurt Alaine this time:( Uggghhhhh, I just hate that part of the mc reading experience but then again when you read about a biker club these things are very common BUT I still don't have to like it!
Great job Author Amo Jones, you can sure write a story. The storyline flows seamlessly, the sex is always HOT, love your bad-ass alpha males, love just about everything with my certain personal exceptions, lol!!! All in all, a truly fantastic series!

This is my first Amo Jones read and to say I'm freaking in love with her book is an understatement. I mean first off that cover... come on i didnt wanna get past the cover because it just look oh so yummy!!! But i finally pried myself away so i could start reading and I was not disappointed.
***** This book is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone******
With that being yes it can be read on its own and seeing as how I jumped in to the 3rd book I will now be going back and reading the other books because those characters are just as much involved in this book making you want to know how they came about. But for this story you have Ade and Kalie-Rose... holy hotness batman!!! these two characters phew.. bring some pantie ladies you will need extras
Ade is a cold, hard, emotionally detached man with a body made of sin and looks to boot. hes every womans wet dream at its finest and he knows it. Sex is just sex to Ade and act nothing more. But when Kalie.. sweet innocent Kalie walks into his life everything shifts. In one night she means more to him than he can even begin to digest seeing as he doesn't do or deal with feelings.
This book goes back and forth a bit between the present then 2 years prior to when Ade and Kalie first met and has a few flashbacks of when Ade was younger. At first i was kind of skeptical when i saw this but Amo did an amazing job with going back and forth between the past and present time.
Cant wait to jump in to book 1 & 2 of this series and read more from Amo Jones in the future. Well deserved 5 star read!!!

This was definitely the best book out of the series. The writing, the character development, the details and descriptions, the scene portrayal, the feels... much better.
However, I didn't like the main characters. Crazy right?! Crazy, but true. Kalie was my least favourite of all the female leads and that's saying something. She was lacking something for me that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I constantly felt like she was putting on an act, whether to appear innocent or provocative, depending on the situation. So I don't think I got a good picture of who her character really was.
I liked things about Aidan/Ade. I liked his ruthlessness. He was just as coldblooded as Zane and Blake, which I enjoyed the heck out of. His alpha ways were cool too. But he lacked dimension. There was so much potential for this character and it fell flat to me.
The suspense was on point. The scenes with Alaina and Kalie were full of feels. So the technique definitely improved in this book. I would be interested in reading future work from this author because I can absolutely see it getting better with time.
