I was really looking forward to reading Wrong Side of Town.  I enjoyed the first two books in the series (well, I enjoyed the first and I bawled for the second) and I was looking forward  to Estella's  story.  It was good and I was  hooked  from the beginning but I was also a little taken aback by how heavy it was.  I knew it wouldn't be light and happy but Estella' s life really sucked and the poor girl really  had no one to talk to.  At least not for most of the book.  What pulled me in was her relationship with both Vincent and Dylan.  When she was with them, though it wasn't easy, it was like her safe haven from her  family life.  With Vincent, she feels this begrudging draw to him and he to her.  They don't want to want each other but can't help the connection and chemistry they feel.  Estella feels safe when she is with him though he leads such a dangerous lifestyle; and he feels protective of her though he is always trying to push her away.  Her relationship with his younger brother, Dylan, helps to give her relationship with Vincent a softer edge.  (I loved their dinner and dancing in the kitchen moments and especially when Vincent finally joined them.) Dylan is the one person Vincent  willingly and openly shows love for and how Estella is ultimately able to see who he truly is inside.  This softer edge is what makes me believe that they could actually work as a couple.Other reviews mentioned some unresolved stories.  There were a few unresolved storylines but they seemed to be for future books in the series.  Leaving them open didn't take away from my enjoyment of Estella's story.  So, all in all, I would recommend Wrong Side of Town to anyone who enjoys this genre.  And I will keep my eyes open for Eddie's story in First Chances.
