Loved it but hated it

So I got my cases awhile ago and yes I really did love showing them off, making everyone jealous, they do really glow in the dark, they light up when your flashlight is on, and kept my charging part clean and nice. But I had to take it off every time I charged it because my charger chord wouldn't work with the case so eventually they pulled apart on me and kept on breaking down to where I could barely get it off and I hated the way it looked when I dropped it and it got scratches on the clear part because it would make my phone look scratches and dirty.

This was one of the books I read after reading SEP's Breathing Room. I loved that book, but this one left me alternately cold or angry. I hated the 'baby-fever' aspect of the story (she had so much going for her, and while she didn't feel she needed a man to complete her life, she felt she needed a baby?), I HATED Cal's indignation when he found out what was going on (he had sex twice with a woman he thought was a stripper but then has the gall to suggest that He was raped somehow? I saw red.) The story also had way too many inconsistencies in character and plot and they weren't just annoying, they were also vaguely misogynistic. A smart physicist humiliates herself by posing as a high-paid stripper? Getting bullied by a man to get married in this day and age? The list just went on and on. I was completely disgusted by his he-man antics mixed with modern age entitlement-- on both sides actually. I was too repulsed by both characters to enjoy some of the side stories. I did like Cal's brothers though. All in all, seriously disliked this book and wished I'd bought it used for 2 bucks instead of new on Amazon for 8 plus shipping. Despite all that, I still really appreciated SEP's way with dialogue, and I found some bits of it very funny. Too bad the premise and the characters killed it for me.

The h could have been a lot stronger. Nothing wrong with a woman putting her career ahead of marriage and kids. Obviously the author was going for this but could not commit and instead had our h do a complete 360 turnaround. As for Meghan ugh I hated her character.

I am giving this four stars because I was completely captivated by this book until the second part. I even forced my sister to pick up the book because I was so excited about it. The ideas were interesting and the dual narrative was a lot of fun for most of the book. However, it was very difficult the last 100 pages or so to deal with the fact that I absolutely hated both of the main characters. I mean, I wasn't rooting for either of them. But I guess that is a rather interesting dimension to a book...to kind of like both of the characters at some point and then wind up hating them both.  I mean, I really didn't like the ending at all, but since I kept on reading, there's something to it...like an accident you can't turn away from! Read it to see what I'm talking about!!!

i liked the story after i finished it. it had a nice resolution, closure.
all the clues and foreshadowing came together at the end, resolved nicely, once and for all.

but oh man, i hated reading through it. it was such a painful experience because Rachel, a main narrator, was such an obnoxious character.

i almost quit mid-way because i couldn't put up with her thoughts and actions anymore; she's alcoholic, has too much self-pity, stalks other people, annoyingly apologetic, and keeps making the same bad decisions over and over again; well, i guess that last part was necessary because that's what essentially moves the plot forward.

I love this author. But hated this story of how this girl had been through so much was finally getting happiness she deserved. Got ripped away by such violence.

I really enjoyed this book but I really hate the way it ended. There were many questions left unanswered. It aggravates the hell out of me.

Looking at the reviews i was really surprised because in no way did this book deserve 5 stars. I mean, it was a great read and i absoulutely LOVED the hero, Merrick and the cute troublesome little characters but this book was filled with annoying problems. I would recomend this book but its not on the top of my list.

had a horrible tongue with the piercing. that was gross and disgustng but the girl and guy pulling together was rewarding to understand. i like her room mate and friends. the guy dom and the girl angel.  but is was disturbing to see how abus e effects our society. it is  addressed very simply and the joy and ressccue effect of a knight in shinking armour is goo. i hated the doctor

4 Stars - I read this book for book club and I liked it but at the same time I hated it . . . it made me sad and angry. Throughout the book the tone was depressing. It evoked strong anger and deep sadness. I rated this 4 stars because it brought out those strong emotions in me BUT I don't like books that will make me sad and angry. I can't bear to read this again.

Let me start by saying that I love how this book is organized.  Each chapter is from a different point of view.  I like that because you see different angles instead of just one main character's view.  Each of the characters are very deep and I enjoyed seeing sides from them all.

Having said that, now let me talk about my complaints.  I found myself very upset at the parenting skills of Sara and Brian.  I did not like the way they just let their son pretty much do as he pleased, whether it be drugs or alcohol.  They just sort of "shooed" him under the rug -- whatever he wants to make him happy.  They are so preoccupied with their sick daughter (which is understandable) that everyone else comes in at a distant second.  At the end we're supposed to believe that he just mysteriously got his life on track and became a cop?  Too much of a jump there, I think.

I know Anna was conceived to keep Kate alive, but I hate the way they just expect her to roll over and give up her organs to her sister whenever she needs them.  I was proud of her for standing up for her own body.  I guess I just made these people out to be real people and sometimes I just wanted to slap them.

Also, I won't say what major event happens at the end, but I found it very shocking and disturbing.  I felt slapped in the face after reading 400 or so pages of very intriguing narrative.  It happened too fast and just didn't fit.  I felt it left the reader saying, "What?  Where did that come from?"  I hate feeling incomplete after finishing a great novel, and this book did just that.

Overall, the majority of the book is great.  It is written well and the characters are complex and each have their own dilemma in the bigger dilemma, so to speak.  It is a good book, but to me, the ending ruins the whole thing.

I cant even begin to explain my feelings after reading this book. The beginning and general idea was right up my alley! I can get behind instalove, but the twist in this story just ruined it for me. I kind of saw it coming, but really disliked how it played out. I also found the ending to be extremely unnervingI might go as far as to say I was disgusted, disappointed, and angeredeven though I think it was supposed to be happy? Most of these issues are personal preferences. The writing and world the author built were great. Im sure this type of story may work really well for some people. Worst case scenario, its a necessary cover buy, because its BEAUTIFUL!

I loved almost every book in this series. This is one that I did not like very much. The story had promise, but there is no way that I could believe anyone would want a relationship with a person who was responsible for them being eviscerated. Her original love was so beautiful and I loved that character so much that I simply felt that she was settling for this abusive creep who ran Hitler-type experiments on people with no remorse. I simply hated him and wished desperately that she could have her original guy back instead. I have loved this series for years, but wish I had skipped this one.

I received a free copy from the author.

I am torn on my review for the book. I liked the story but hated the way it was written. I couldn't stand the characters thoughts changing and the dialogue changing with it. It was difficult to follow. The characters were not real lovable. I liked Gracey and Leighton but the rest I could have done without.

This is a gritty, erotic story about step-siblings. It is a standalone novel with a HEA.
