Review: Series fizzled

I can honestly say that I bought, paid for and read all 10 books in this series. Perhaps my memory is bad but the last 2 books in this series were really not great. I found that the characters lacked depth and although they were prepared to have sex with their guys, they weren't really ready to commit. The age of the leading ladies puts them at around 30 and most women of that age have worked out some of their issues. I will admit that the music theme is attractive but the characters themselves were not. In this book our h is a 30 year old living at home with no real career or plan for her life. She is musically gifted but suffers from acute stage fright. Our H is a career gambler who has the opportunity of joining the corporate world. They meet accidentally and decide to pretend to be in a relationship so they can both avoid matchmaking. There is a very real connection between the main characters but because of their ruse, there is a whole lot of doubt about the foundation of their relationship.The thing that had me grinding my teeth was the h's mother, who sought to blackmail her daughter into making a stage performance so that her younger sister could resurrect her career. The mother annoyed the cr*p out of me for most of the book and I never felt kindly towards her.I'd only think this book was worth reading if you had read all of the other books in this series. If you're not OCD then skip this one.
