So I'm gonna preface this with saying that IMO isn't as good as Bad Rep simply because I loved Jordan and Maysie equally and hello...Jordan is darn near perfect even if he cheated on Olivia.  In Perfect Regret I loved Garrett and tolerated Riley.  In Seductive Chaos I liked Viv and Cole equally, just didn't LOOOVE them.  I think it's because of the 2 year thing though...Maybe?  I just think it is gonna be impossible for me to adore any of the couples like J&M.;  I'm biased.So Cole and Viv have been doing the semi-friends with benefits for 2 years now and just as he's coming to terms with maybe wanting more outside the bedroom, she is tired of his bs and him making her look like the idiot she isn't.  I gotta say Cole pissed me off plenty (listening to the loser band manager, buying into his own hype, not seeing Viv for the amazing woman she would become sooner) for at least half this book but then he turned around and not only pulled his head out of his rear but began to use his brain to see the big picture with the band as well as the girl.  He then decided to take some action.  Yay!While Cole is getting it together, Viv is trying to make sense of the draw she has to him.  It makes her feel stupid which I can't blame her.  She hasn't been with anyone since their SFWB started (not happy about that actually). So she finally gets a great job and things go on from there...Loved how the band's drama was incorporated into this.  Loved how we got to see Jordan and Mays as well as Garrett and a tiny bit of Riley.  Looking forward to the Gracie & MItch's story next.The last thing I will say is this series isn't meant to be life altering or give the reader a book hangover.  It's meant to be fun and light which I think it accomplishes.  I don't always want a big ugly cry (Reclaiming the Sand or FYITD) or a heavy read so I appreciate that someone I've read and know I can trust to write a complete story is offering me, the reader, both. I will absolutely read anything she puts out.  And no, I don't know her.  Her work speaks for itself.
