I am conflicted on my rating because I enjoyed everything Dani and Chase but what really lowered my rating is the focus on the parents story and the flashbacks.

This book covers a 3-4 month time period and honestly I wish it was set over more time. So much happened in such a short amount of time to the point where it felt a little unrealistic which is honestly okay with me more often than not. But with the constant talk of the mom and dads relationship and the parallels between them and their children I was over it. I also feel like there was a serious missed opportunity to expand more on Dani and the relationship with her mom and how that seriously shaped her and how she views herself and her life.

I am BEYOND excited for a 3rd book but so sad we have to wait a year. I loved every moment with Dani and Chase and I hope that the next book is centralized more on them.

PS... Damon is still annoying to me. Dont know why but I would also love to see his eventual *fingers crossed* love story.

I still recommend this series... :)

Anne OK I agree -- it just didn't pack the punch I wanted. And I love this family -- but it's time to let go of so much of Danny Diamond and get on with the next generation. The wait for #3 is going to be painful.
