Rating: 4 out of 5

This book had more going on than the last one, though I think the series should be wrapped up by now.I like that the author added Colin's perspective, but he was as depressing as Caroline. I know this is supposed to be a love story, and I suppose it is in some ways. But I can't understand why these two are together. More over, why Caroline dealt with the fact that Colin put his ex up in a house, paid for her education and car. So what if he felt responsible for something that happened when they were 18, especially when it wasn't really his fault! His secrets would've been enough to make me walk away, especially when I walk in to my home and find her there. Uh... Nope. Final straw for me.So far all I see is two toxic people spreading poison to each others life. I enjoy the books but I'm kind of hoping the next book is a happier one. Because so far I'm struggling to understand why they even got married to begin with. Sure I'm rooting for them, but I liked them more when they were in college. The two of them as adults are much more childish.I guess if this is painting the life of an ordinary woman with a famous man, it's painting it in a very bad light.I know this sounds like a bad review with a good star rating, but it's not really a review.I like the series so far, enough to give it a 4 star rating. The review is more a rant about the characters that have become sorta real to me. So the author pulled me in emotionally. Separately, I love both Caroline and Colin. Together, I need to see more affirmations of love besides sex. That's the only time they seem happy, and even sometimes the sex is angry. I need more normal clothed moments with them to really think they belong together. Sex doesn't substantiate a relationship/marriage.So I hope to get that from the final book.
