What to say about this book... I was reeled in in "Bound Together".  Needless to say I was awaiting this book to come out.  I just had to see where it went.In all honesty, it went downhill for me.  Part of wanting to continue reading a series is the characters.  To say that Layla leaves a bad taste in my mouth is an understatement.  Yeah yeah.  We aren't necessarily supposed to like her at this point; at least I wouldn't hope we are supposed to like her.  But my dislike for this character had me turned off from this book.  She just got worse and worse as the book went on.And Jared... I don't care for him.  A lot seem to think he was more likable in this book than the first.  I am not in agreeance with them.  I was all for him after the first book... But as this book went on, I was questioning why I didn't care for Ollie in the first book.  Jared's controlling tendencies are not cute.  They are very close to being a deal breaker for me.Now to Ollie... like I mentioned, I didn't care for him in the first book.  I thought he was whiny.  But after this book, I think it was just the wanting the bad boy to win.  I don't have the same opinion of him after this part of the story.  He is sweet.  His heart won't let Layla go.I cannot say that I am "Team Jared" or Team Ollie".  I can say that I am not "Team Layla".  I hope in the third book they both walk away from her leaving her alone with her self-centered self!I am not sure if I will read the next book... the only reason being Layla.  I just can't get past my distaste for her character.  I had a hard time finishing the book.  If she were real and standing in front of me, I would punch her in the face a few times.The book is full of drama.  Back and forth (on Layla's part).  A few chuckles.  It is well written.  For many, it will be an easy read; one that may be hard to put down.
