I wanted to LOVE this book because I loved the other two and I love Bailey's writing. Her writing -- sexy, dirty-talking, funny, smart-- keeps this book going but the story wasn't for me. I expected to like both Abby and Russell since we met them earlier and their set up seemed promising, but I found his behavior in the book too controlling. I know that's supposed to be hot and lead to the erotic power games they play in bed, but it went way past the bedroom into disturbing, creeper stuff. Also I just hate plots where *one simple conversation* between the hero and heroine would solve all their problems. Despite their closeness Abby and Russell were unable to communicate about basic stuff. So, worth reading -- but watch out for these triggers.
