4hrs into the book.... 
 ok the passage of time is beyond ridiculous. The author is trying to solidify the couples bond with the passage of time but in the passage nothing is happening. they went out on a date and then before we know it it's two weeks later. they'd have a first kiss then again a week would pass and nada. too much time and not enough action. 
 toooooooooooo much blushing in the first few chapters. 
 there's 6hrs left in this book so while i'm hoping it gets better and something happens other than internal angst i'm not gonna hold my breath. 
 back to the book... 
 1hr left in the book. 
 I don't even know where to begin. AGAIN!! I understand that Trace has issues. I know what he went through leaves deep emotional scars. but a) the amount of times big alpha bare knuckle fighter Trace cries is so unreal, and it kinda pussifies him. Now before you get your panties in a bunch, i'm cool with guys showing their emotion and crying. But Trace has cried more than 5 times in this book. Also, I've still got time left in the book, but the whole 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon that's happening is kinda stupid. 
 back to the book... 
 REally!?!?! 
 ok I'll admit the last bombshell I TOTALLY didn't predict but I did have a similar idea but with a different character. Damn...WOW. 
 ok. OVERALL? I'd give this book a 2. The relationship drama was dragged out and that whole I'm pushing you away to protect you is a pet peeve of mine but whatevs. Like I said I know Trace had serious issues so I suppose I could give him a pass. Another issue I had was with Chelsea. Why was she stuck at an 8yr old mentality after a car accident? what the hell was wrong? she seemed to have no other issues other than that. You'd think being ejected from a car would leave physical damage and maybe brain damage but not behavioral damage like not maturing past 8yrs old. That was a kinda cop out for putting more misery in Trace's life. 
 And what was the point of making the roommate be a bitch like that? everyone could see it but the Ember? really? What was the purpose of Dane and the roommates scumbag boyfriend? From what I can tell they were only there so Trace could be all alpha protective and have someone to beat up and save Ember from. Too many cooks in the kitchen of this book.

 narrator 3 she was ok no one i'd search for but just ok.
