3.5 stars.  I have really enjoyed this series, the previous books were different and always kept me guessing. I loved that, I was not sure what would happen next.  Dank (to be honest I still can't stand the name) was always simply yummy, and Pagan was always strong and non-whiney.  I wanted to love this book.  I enjoyed it but it fell short in a couple of places for me.Obviously from the blurb we know that Pagan has lost her memories of Dank, and there is going to be another guy who is her `soul mate' fighting for her also.  From reading the previous books you know this is going to be Jay.  I was a little sceptical about this thinking "oh no it is going to be just another love triangle or a book with cheating".  It is not, thankfully.  I hate cheater books.  However, reading this for me felt like there was no competition between Dank and Jay.  I actually wanted there to be more competition, I wanted to actually read this with some emotion towards being worried about Pagan getting not her memories back, worried that Jay was her soul mate, worried that Dank was lost to her, but there was nothing.  It was so obvious that it removed any mystery, or worry.  There was no reason for her to pick anyone but whom she did because the other one did not do anything.  I needed more.Dank is super sweet in this book, and he is a dream guy.  But because of this he was missing some of that edge he had in the previous books, and it nearly made him too perfect.  Sure yeah, I challenge anyone not to walk away from this book swoony after Dank, but like I said too perfect, I missed his edge.  Pagan was still a great character; I really liked her in this one again.  She is a good friend, has strong morals, and when things got bad she was not too mopey.What is really strange for me about this book is that I feel you could read it without having first read the others.  Not a lot is really carried over, apart from the reader's attachment to the Dank Pagan relationship.  The prologue at the beginning sets it up nicely for anyone who has not read the previous books.  Normally by the final book you would be lost, but not in this case.  This book was much more of a romance, pure and simple, whilst the previous books in the series had much more paranormal in them, and mystery, and adventure.  These other things were missing for me in this one.I did enjoy this book, it is a lovely romance, very sweet, I wanted Pagan to be happy, I wanted her to get her memories back, I wanted my Happy Ever After, so yes I was invested in the story.  It was such an easy read, the story flowed beautifully, that I zoomed through it (through for typo nazi's there are some in this that I don't recall being in the previous ones).  I recommend it, fans of the series will love it, and it is a nice ending to the series, but for me it was simply a romance story compared to its predecessors. It did not have their depth, and I was never surprised by the way the story went.  I would have liked more.Will I read it again? Probably, it is lovelyWould I recommend it? Yes.
