This review is based on my personal experience reading this book, and is completely subjective.  This is not meant to be offensive or degrading to the author, just an honest critique..Ok, so I read the first three installments and they were good.  I mean, really sexy and addictive.  This one just left me feeling frustrated and confused.The previous 3 installments introduced us to each character and their personalities.  We saw Laura as the sweet naive girl, looking for that one guy that makes her feel cherished (like we all feel from time to time);  Mike as the serious, responsible, but sexy in a mysterous kinda way.  And then there was good ol' Dylan - quirky, charming, somewhat misunderstood Dylan who I came to love and enjoy reading about the most.In this book, I feel the author destroyed that personality dynamics somewhat.  I felt she made Dylan too immature and stupid (a playful blind puppy).  It seems he was always doing something wrong and being castigated for his actions.  Mike ended up becoming his minder and far too stiff in his manner with Mike, and Laura ended up playing the role schoolteacher having to keep naughty boys in check.Throw into that, some pretty bad sentencing structures, paragraphs that doesnt flow, and dialogue that is all over the place, and I was not a happer reader at all.  A bit more editing couldn't have hurt.I am an avid reader, and have over the years developed certain tricks to help get over the bumpy parts of a book (because lets face it, no book ever hits it perfectly from cover to cover), but I have learned how to gloss over the boring or uninteresting parts by reading the dialogue and still understanding what the setting/situation is about.  With this book, I felt that the dialogue and paragraphs weren't in sync.  They unfortunately did not flow together and did not make for easy reading.  I struggled to finish this book.Overall, a good series, but this installment left me feeling cheated out of the cash i paid, which in hindsight I feel the price was too high for this book.  It felt unedited and rushed.So unfortunately, this book gets a sad 2 stars from me, even though I wish i could have given it more.  It was not an enjoyable reading experience for me.
