I'm sort of on the fence about this book.  It was a good rainy day read, and it peaked my interest.  It just didn't' really go anywhere for me.  Ivy was young and quite unprepared to navigate in the gilded circle that she was a part of.  I saw the connection as an artist, however, she was only 23.  The story clearly makes her ex much older, but by how much.The problem with short stories that are marketed as novels is there is very little time to truly develop the story.  The characters were not fully developed.  I needed to be able to see what they really looked like as a visual reader.  What made Ivy so beautiful besides her cup size and curvy figure?  She came across as shallow and stupid.  This was more in the young adult field that happened to have some adult characters.I am once again bored with stories that begin with strong sexual chemistry  between the main characters that lead to sexual encounters that lead to a world of complications of their on making.  This book was no "50 Shades of Gray", and should not have been marketed that way.I've said a lot, and that's not like me.  This author has potential.  I would have been perfectly happy to see all three installments rolled into one 300 page plus novel for $2.99.  I am once again feeling 100 percent ripped off by having purchased three stories that should have been one, that I have no desire to read again.  Buyers should beware of this marketing strategy.
