Synopsis
I should have seen
it coming. Sexy? Handsome? Trouble? Check, check, and check.
Is he messing up my life? Hell yes. All the signs are there: he is a bad boy.
Even his name is a lie. Too bad I married him. I can’t wait to get divorced.
Does this make me sound crazy?
I know I should avoid him, run as fast as I can. However, when a harmless misunderstanding lands me in a foreign prison cell, my dear, lying husband is the only one who can get me out. Crap. I shouldn’t accept.
But how to say no to trouble when said trouble is the one who makes me fantasize all the dirty things he could do to me?
What
I Loved
The beginning of the book sucks you
right back into Laurie’s story and we meet her again almost immediately after The
Agreement ended. Laurie flees New York
to get away from Chase and all his lies and to try and sort out her life. Almost immediately she is stuck in a
situation where she needs help and of course Chase becomes her knight in
shining armor once more.
I couldn’t wait for these two to be
back together again. I knew eventually
Chase would find her and boy did he find her in the nick of time! The sexual chemistry that sizzled between
them before roars beck to life and it was very fun to see them eventually tear each
other’s clothes off and go at it!
Not
So Much
Also, I just wish there were more details shown rather than
talked about. Chase and Laurie at a certain point separate and there is barely
any communication so Chases plans are only talked about and completely glossed
over. I wanted to see the trial, hear
what Laurie’s stepfather was going through, and what Chase was going through
during this time. Instead it was two
sentences of description and then moved on to the next subject. The flow just whizzed by the important parts
leaving huge holes and slowed down too much when it wasn’t needed. Due to the lack of details and depth I couldn’t
get emotionally into this last book. I
was left more disappointed than satisfied.
To
Sum It All Up!
I’m so happy that Chase and Laurie
finally got the happy ending that they deserved. The chemistry between them was apparent from
the very beginning so it’s great to see that these two are finally living
happily ever after. Also I like that a
lot of the questions that were brought up throughout the story are finally
answered; I love when all the pieces of the puzzle finally to come
together.
I just felt like the flow was very disjointed
and the plot was shallow from beginning to end. In the beginning there are some
pretty suspenseful moments but the minute Chase and Laurie are in each other’s orbits
the same conversation they’ve been having since book one continues again and
goes on and on and on. The majority of
this story takes place within a 48-hour period with basically the same fight
over and over again. Then the ending
rushes you through to 15 months later and glosses over everything important. Laurie’s stubbornness becomes tiring at
points and Chase not answering her questions becomes annoying. My suggestion would be to pay equal attention
to beginning, middle and end of a plot so the same depth that is built carries
through.
Although this story did answer the
majority of questions, the secrets Laurie whispered to Chase while they were in
the elevator were NEVER even addressed, which was so silly to me. Don’t put a plot out there then never address
it again for three books. The ending
left me feeling empty rather than satisfied because the details just weren’t
there and the character development made no sense. I will say that this was an ARC so some of
these issues could’ve been addressed in the final draft.
