I absolutely loved Clementine and Gavin's story...it was romantic, sexy, funny.  I was excited to start Dani & Jax's book straight away, so I stayed up way too late and then clandestinely read it while at work because i wanted to find out what happens between these two.  To say I'm disappointed is a bit of an understatement.  I honestly don't feel that I know either character any better after 47 chapters than I did at the end of Dearest Clementine.The two of them spend over 20 chapters having near misses and misunderstandings, due to half-truths and concussions.  I feel they never have a serious conversation or interaction prior to Thanksgiving that warrants their falling in love over a long weekend.The author riddled this book with ridiculous hashtags, too...they punctuated Dani's inner-monologue and drove me crazy.I realize I'm in the minority with this book, but I feel it lacked the witty banter and dialogue of Dearest Clem, plus the interactions between the characters aren't memorable.  Dani and Jax barely know each other outside a fast hookup in a back room of a club and her almost pining for him while he dates woman after woman.  Yet, once he finds out she donated money to the soccer program at the Boys & Girls Club, he just knows she's the one for him.I'm not ready to give up on Lex Martin and fully intend to buy and read Daren's story (and I sort of want a Jenna/Luke novella).
