In the end, I really enjoyed this installment into the RC world, but I'll admit it took me a lot longer to get in the flow. It took til 3/4 of the book before I got past tolerating Ava, and as much as I loved Luke - that made the book take a hit in my RC ratings. 
 Ava's issues and ways just bugged me. This was a personal preference thing and that's the beauty of the RC universe in a way. Each heroine will affect us differently, each story will touch us in a different place. The men - and Luke Stark is NO exception - will make us swoon & fall in alpha male lust. No matter what my issues, at the end of the day it's still escapism reading at it's finest. 
 The last 1/4 of the book was amazing and hilarious. Seriously, just awesome. That part I loved and got me past some of my Ava issues. I call that a win.
