Review: Not the way I like it, and not an epilogue either.

Look, I get it, this is nothing more than a sequel to the next two books in this series...and therein lies the rub.  A sequel should be labeled as such so that those of us who have never heard of the "Bradfords series" will, hopefully, read the first 3 books so we have an idea what-is-what and who-is-who.  This book is not really a stand alone because there is no character building, almost no history to go on, and seemingly, no actual beginning, middle or end.  The story assumes you are already aware of who the characters are, their backgrounds and their history.  It opens with some of the characters sitting around talking about two of their friends, some plans are hatched to try and help the friends, a couple of the couples have sex...and BOOM, it's over. If you have not read the first three books in this SERIES, you will come away from this one going "Huh?".IMPORTANT NOTE:  Just before I published this review, I (for some unknown reason) picked up my kindle and hit the "go to cover" button and guess what???; I found there are some introductions to the Bradford characters stuck between the Dedication and chapter one. My kindle opens directly to chapter one on every book I read so had I not paged forward from the cover, I never would have known. This must be a formatting error because when I looked for the table of contents (normally at the start of a book) I found it  at the end as if it were an index. I thought you should know so that in the event you decide to read this one before the others, you can do so with at least some basic information as to who these characters are.  It's "a day late and a dollar short" for me though.
