I am glad it was cheap or I would have requested a refund.  The title was deceptive.  This was no "50 Shades of Gray".  This was a young adult romance that should have been put together as a single novel.  Ivy was not a character that I fell in love with.  She was not Anastasia Steele.  There was no basis for the comparison.  The literary world was turned on its ear by the work of Ms James, however, she wrote well, and got paid.This writer has talent.  She needs to focus on character development.  Ivy came across as a "dumb blonde" whose cup size matched her IQ.  She had a perfectly good father, how did she end up engaged to someone closer to his age?Jax was no better.  Lust does not automatically equal love.  This should have been one complete novel.  I kept waiting for loose ends to get tied up, and they never did.  Liz was a loose end, and the same applied to the other characters who appeared in the first book.If writers want a loyal fan base, they need to slow down and tell a story that is more than how well they can write sexual encounters.  The title did not fulfill my expectations.  I am not sure if I will follow this author beyond this series.  There is no obsession here, just disappointment.
