3 Frustrating and bang my head against the wall StarsFirst of all, I need to give a little disclaimer before I rant a little.Carina Adams is by far the most adorable lady I've ever talked books with. I got so mad at one point reading this book that I wanted to DNF and I actually stopped reading it. I explained my reasons had absolutely nothing to do with her writing. She writes beautifully, she fills the pages with characters that bring out so many emotions. The words and descriptions she uses paints a portrait and I loved her style.My problem was the characters. I loved Mattie ..oh wow did I love this guy. Tall, tatted and a biker on the side. Yea he was amazing. But his character for 90% of this book was beyond perfect to me. He put up with stuff he shouldn't have and he was just the "step up and stick with it" type of guy. Loyal, sweet and sexy. But most of all a beautiful soul.Jo (Josephine) was a very fickle character. Very wish washey and it irritated me greatly. I wanted to slap her and then slap her again. She did some stupid stuff and some hurtful stuff and some unbelievable things.I didn't think Matty deserved to be treated like that. Then I kept reading after wanting to quit and I felt that Jo grew a little bit more and I thought things were looking up to only be faced with an abrupt about face with Mattie's character. I was floored to say the least. I honestly can say that this author has an amazing talent to have made me feel as strongly as I did towards these characters. I'd take this irritation and frustration any day over feeling nothing at all.Thanks Carina so much for offering this story for review. I still hold out hope the my Mattie from the beginning will reappear and take charge like I know he can and get his HEA.
