I'm feeling deeply betrayed by this book. Yes, there's an element of shame on me because I didn't look at GR first, I didn't look at reviews...I didn't realize this was a series. 😐 Even worse, I didn't realize this had a cliffhanger. 😑
What makes my feelings worse is that this book was pretty much a perfect stepbrother book. I had been seeing this book in constant ads on facebook, and it kept screaming at me...all of those teasers/ads were leaving a lot to live up to. They were great. So imagine my surprise when the book was going amazing! I had absolutely no complaints. I was loving the relationship between Ben and Lauren. I loved every moment they were together. I did wonder a few times if his feelings were real, or if he started something with her specifically to get back at her dad...but I was right there in the book, hooked on every word.
And then end dropped out and I was left stunned. Like I said, shame on me. I missed the memo. I am glad I read this, it was good, but I'll be honest...if I had know it was a trilogy, and that book 3 isn't out yet, I would have waited. Because now knowing that book 2 mostly likely has a cliffhanger as well, and I have a month left to wait for book 3...I'm not real happy.
