Review: Starts out spicy but turns bland due to repetitive love scenes
Rating: 3 out of 5

While I wasn't bothered by the M/F/M opening scene, I didn't feel like Reece was the same guy in the rest of the story. At least in the lead up to their threesome he had this air of charm and confidence, and you could feel the spark he had with Calli; but once the book jumps ahead several months later, he becomes a real head case, making one stupid decision after the next. For at least the first half of the book Reese behaves like a jerk. I had to keep looking back at the cover and assume his hotness is what had her so forgiving.As other reviewers have mentioned, the plot needs some work. It has potential but it falls short. There is a stalker who is never fully developed or resolved. (That was a major sticking point for me in rating this book as it felt like it was just thrown in and then dropped after it served its purpose. What happened to the guy??? What did her parents think?) It is also never fully explained what was Dal's "big emergency" that Reece felt was so important that he had to leave Callie in the middle of sex. Largely the story is one sexual encounter after the next. In the beginning it's steamy but after a while it gets redundant and loses its effect. We get that they are attracted to each other (like constantly clothes stripping attracted to each other), but there needs to be more development in the earlier half to understand what makes them fall in love with each other.The writing does not always flow the best and there are some obvious grammatical errors. Plus, the author should do her research better--two different characters both mention switching colleges as being as simple as having the school send some emails and paperwork. Uh, no. Just because you are accepted and attending one college does not mean you don't have to apply, await acceptance, and then wait till the next available semester to start. You don't just start on Monday; transferring in college isn't the same as public high school.
