I would have liked a little more clarity on Scott and Beth's previous relationship, but it all worked out. You know what bothered me the most- Beth's hair!!!BURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-39075004187929143242013-05-29T03:43:25.630-06:002013-05-29T03:43:25.630-06:00It does sound good, glad you enjoyed it.It does sound good, glad you enjoyed it.Aurianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04538247058229504410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-42923752652271219152013-05-28T13:01:53.335-06:002013-05-28T13:01:53.335-06:00I'm so glad you loved this book and it didn...I'm so glad you loved this book and it didn't suffer from second book syndrome! I agree, Ryan and Scott had to win me over, but they did in the end. "Both had to stop forcing Beth into a mold she either didn't fit into or wasn't ready to try out." <---I totally agree with this, they had to change their attitude towards Beth and stop trying to changer her completely, but work with her. Beautifully put! I love this series and am dying to read the next book.

I think because it pushes the limits and could easily fall in the new adult category. Another author who rocks it and is an exception is Colleen Hoover.

It took me a long time to make my peace with Scott as well, Ryan I warmed too fairly quickly, but Scott had some things to prove to Beth before he won me over, but I so loved that relationship. It was another layer to an already layered story and it just made things even better.
