So glad it’s over, at least for me.This had to be one of the most boring books/series I have ever read!I didn’t enjoy the writing style nor the characters, at all. In fact there were a few times I just wanted to give up on this series entirely but I kept on hoping the next turn of the page might just be the one to turn this whole thing around. Then I just stubbornly wanted to get to the end of the book to see whether anything would actually be resolved.Red Jameson is our ad agency billionaire with the troubled childhood. Supposedly part of his problem has always been his mother and the relationship between them and although she makes a cameo appearance in the book, and although she may not seem to be the easiest woman to get along with, we aren’t given much insight into their relationship either.Nicole Masters is a recent college grad who gets a job as an intern at Red’s company, and goes on to date the boss. She is constantly second-guessing her every move and her every decision. No matter what she decides, two seconds later she’s questioning herself about whether she’s made the right decision.Their relationship is a constant on again-off again thing, with what seems to me to be very whiny and childish behavior on both their parts and with Red always ready to throw in the towel , even the sex between them is boring.Even the villain of the story isn’t that antagonistic!Five books into the series, nothing had been resolved, no insights were given and I felt no closer to the characters and their trials and tribulations than I had on page 1! The constant running hot one moment, cold the next and Nicole’s constant indecision on every subject had me pulling out my hair!This series was six books long, and now this author wants us to continue to buy more books hoping that at some point this saga will end and we will have all the answers to who these characters are and what makes them tick. Since the next book continues with characters introduced at the end of this series and since Red and Nicole will continue to be in the picture, I can only think nothing can be resolved with more of a story to juggle around. So I’m saying, ‘Thanks but no thanks’.
