Review: Frustrating Let Down
Rating: 3 out of 5

I wasn't a fan of how the book started. I already had figured out in Broken Hart that Damien had a thing for Brooke, so going back all the way to the first night then jumping to random events a year later was just a little pointless to me. Plus half the book was the exact same story, just every chapter we got the same information back to back just from the different POVs. I like switching POV, that wasn't what bothered me, it was the fact that rather than continuing the story when the POV changed, it retold the chapter I just finished reading. Then there was the fact that a good portion of the book was all the same information, story, and dialogue that I read in the previous book so there were a couple chapters I skipped entirely. Once it got past the point where Sabrina and Dante got engaged and the story became new I was more so enjoying the new parts, but I was just already so fed up with the progression of the book that I had shut down to it. Plus Brooke wasn't as well-written of a character as Sabrina had been and I really just didn't connect to or appreciate her as much. I already loved Damien from the first book, so I wanted good things for him in this one still too. I was assuming that there must be a book three to come based just on the first book, so I wasn't at all surprised by the end of this book. Decent read. Not anywhere as good as the first book, and hopefully Spencer and Delilah have been so minor in the first two books that book 3 won't make me as put off as this one because I really don't know anything about their story
