Review: Fell short of expectations. Anticlimactic and disappointing

Unfortunately this book was a bit of a disappointment for me. I was expecting so much more from this book and it just fell short of expectation. I was anticipating some thrilling action scenes and a dramatic build up to the stand off between the Marker and Jay. A majority of this book was filled with repetitive love scenes and an anticlimactic "duel" (if you can even call it that) that ended before it even began. I had such high hopes, but unfortunately when too much sex is used as a filler for a plot there's not much you can do. One thing that really bothered the shit out of me was that the author was constantly misspelling Naomi's (Lily's friend) name! Sometimes on the same page..shit sometimes in the same paragraph! I kept wondering how it was possible to miss it when only a sentence before you'd been calling her Naomi and then immediately after spelling it Noami. If it were just a few times I'd have been able to get over it but I counted at least 10! Furthermore, Ariana's (or was it adriana?) actions with Jay so soon after what had happened to her were just completely unrealistic. I don't know how it would be possible for someone to do that so soon after what was done to her. It just didn't make sense to me.The epilogue was the only thing that I really liked. Oh, and the fact that a problem I had with the first book was addressed (albeit briefly) early on in the book. The fact that he had flirted and danced with her in front of Lily at the club had really rubbed me the wrong way in the first book. While I guess the explanation made sense I wish he had told Lily about it. Also, I'm sure there were better ways to do it than being a total pig.
