Walk Into Me (Walking #2) by Jill Prand2.5 out of 5 StarsI don't know if I could truly dislike a character more than I disliked Lisa at the end of this book.  Part of my contempt is her fickle, self-centered personality and part of it is the actual story line so it's not truly her fault.  When I read the small excerpt at the end of Watch Me Walk Away and saw that this book was Brad's story I was truly excited to see him move on and find love, however this is the story of Lisa playing spoiled brat and wanting her cake and eating it too.While continuing to be with Bobby, who she swears is her soul mate and the man of her dreams, Lisa all of a sudden starts having butterflies and "feelings"" for Brad as well and feels like she needs to explore them by dating both men at the same time.  However for reasons beyond her control she can't talk with Bobby about it and so she continues to lead Brad around by the boy parts and his undying love until it just starts making me lose respect for him too.  At some point enough is enough.  These are grown adults who can't claim the ignorance of youth anymore, how many times does he allow her to play him the fool before he gets fed up and moves on, whether he loves her or not?I still didn’t like the generic names and found the constant use of Brad's nickname "Pretty Girl" almost as annoying as baby.  How many people only use one name every time they speak to each other?  I understand nicknames and I actually loved pretty girl the first 50 times I read it, but after that it became too much.  They also have sex exactly the same way EVERY SINGLE TIME, whether it’s Lisa/Bobby or Lisa/Brad, she says the same lines and Prand has a formula sex scene that just plays out each time.Overall the whole situation really aggravated me.  Why would any self-respecting man, Bobby, allow his girlfriend to flirt and snuggle with another man?  Why would a man, Brad, allow himself to be used, belittled, and made second best for 15 years give or take?  And what woman would really think that test driving two men in the same friend circle and asking them to "play nice" would really work?  It just didn't make sense to me from any angle.  I truly wanted to like this book but I don't see myself reading the next one because I can't stand to watch the saga continue.*An honest review given in exchange for a complimentary copy of the book.*Pepper, My Secret Book Spot
