Love Dahlia West--wanted to love this.  I expected Easy to have issues falling in love, but I did not expect him to be so mean.  I thought he treated Daisy HORRIBLY for most of the book.  I know his character had a lot of struggles, both mentally and physically, and I really felt for him--especially in Shooter's book.  Instead of feeling sorry for him here, I wanted to hit him with my iPad.  I don't have problems with heroes in books acting like jerks, and then coming around and making up for their actions.  I think my issue with Easy is I followed him throughout the series, and I expected him to act a certain way.  Maybe if this was the first book I read with him as a character I would feel differently.  I was disappointed in his actions.I wasn't too crazy about Daisy's character either.  I loved smart mouthed, sassy heroines--which she was--but to me, she also had no self respect.  Her interaction with the rest of the gang was great, and she handled her ex with the attitude I expected.  But when it came to Easy, she just let him use her, and then walk all over her.  I also get that love will make a person put up with certain things they normally would not have.  But here, I didn't feel any love (or chemistry) between Easy and Daisy justify that.  It felt like they both were just "scratching an itch".  Her personality was too contradictory for me.I did enjoy the secondary characters.  Everyone from the series was back, and it was fun to see their interactions again.  The previous book left us with sort of a cliffhanger as to the fate of the relationship between Shooter and Sarah.  I'm not sure if I missed something, but this conflict seemed to just disappear without really being addressed.  I found this a little confusing since I was expecting this issue to be touched upon.  To me, it seemed like a large part of the ending of the previous book.It took along time for Easy to come around, and I admit, I did enjoy the ending.  When he did finally "wake up", he was very sweet.  In my own perfect world, this would have happened earlier in the book so I could have enjoyed their actual romance building.  I really think Ms. West is a fantastic author, and even though I was not crazy about Easy's book, I am looking forward to Caleb's story--and hopefully Adam's too!
