This is Marissa's story. We all love to hate Olivia's cousin Marissa in Down to Me. She was a real witch. Luckily by the end of Up to Me, we notice a glimpse of the new Marissa. She changes after being kidnapped. She wants to change her life. She wants to leave her "plastic" life behind and start living. She doesn't expect to fall for a dangerous guy, but she does. In the middle of all this we still have the mafia to worry about. We also see glimpses of Olivia and Cash's love. 
 I thoroughly enjoyed this series. There are some pretty steamy scenes. 
 I sure hope the next books is about Gavin. 
 One thing I thought it was pretty cool is making me like Marissa after I disliked her so much in the first book (I sure hope Abbi Glines never does this with Nan. I think it will be impossible for me to like that one).
