Review: a nice addition to the series, but not as good as the first two

**copied from my blogIn the third book in the series, Jade adapts to being a Kensington while Garrett continues to plan out their future, which includes moving in together.Jade is reluctant to think about the future, afraid of what it holds for her, but she knows that she wants Garrett in it. They continue to grow closer and closer together, not letting little things break them up.Things get complicated as Jade starts to see the inner workings of the Kensington family and the threats that are being made on them because of what happened to Sinclair. She fears for Garrett’s and Lilly’s safety and is worried at the lack of care that Garrett has.There is a complication in this book as a new student, named Carson, takes a liking to Jade and Garrett doesn’t like it. Of course, Jade doesn’t see anything bad about being friends until she starts seeing that Carson seems a bit obsessed with Garrett and his family and seems determined to break them up.The end of the book offers a twist that you don’t seem coming and makes you want to grab the 4th book of the series to see what will happen next.The book is gradually getting a little more, shall we say, older and more mature. Jade and Garrett have a very active sex life in this book and the language that comes from Garrett is a little bit older. At first I kind of had a problem with it because it seemed like Everhart was doing it to fit some kind of mold, but I ended up brushing it off for the fact that Garrett probably didn’t swear a lot because he was trying to impress Jade and the sex is something that is very popular once couples start doing it.After Sinclair died in the 2nd book, I was curious to see how Everhart would carry the rest of the series. Of course, there would have to be another complication and I was worried that it would be like the other books where an ex or a new person will come and try and break them up. She did dabble in that but overall it didn’t take control of the entire book.I did enjoy having Everhart pay more attention to detail in the minor characters like Lilly, because I don’t like it when a book is all about just the main two characters. Lilly helps develop the main characters and so does the bad people in their lives, like Katherine for Garrett.Overall, it is another quick read that can be done in one sitting. It’s not quite as interesting as the other two books, but the ending sure has me hooked for book 4. I enjoy the back and forth between Jade and Garrett but it’s not as fun as it has been. Perhaps it’s that tough part of the relationship as they get past the honeymoon phase. I do hope that they get back to that in the next book.
