Review: Not gonna lie, wasn't my favorite... (some spoilers)

So like everyone, I've been waiting anxiously for the next book in the Undeniable saga. These books have taken on a life of their own and that's a great thing. As always M. Sheehan's writing is on point and she keeps the plot moving. I think my main problem with this book is that I just wasn't that interested in Dorothy's story. Now, ZZ's story I've been chomping at the bit to read ever since he shot Cage, and the little snippet at the end only has me more interested!Anyway, I think where Sheehan is taking the characters and this saga is really smart. She's making it a sweeping story that spans decades and I LOVE that. I love that the 2nd generation of kids are coming up and becoming part of the club. This makes me hope that the series will go on forever, because I really am invested in all of these characters. :) But, much like Ellie and Dirty's story, I just wasn't interested much in Dorothy. She's the kind of soft-spoken, insecure, meek heroine that I really dislike. Although she rallied toward the end, I still wasn't feeling her. I didn't really feel that connected to Hawk either, for whatever reason, although he was always the one I was rooting for Dorothy to end up with. I don't know... I just wanted to like them more than I did. AND we never got the full story of their first hook-up! It was hinted at and kind of mentioned, but the full story was never told. So that was slightly annoying, because I was waiting the whole time! I can't give an Undeniable book less than 4 stars, hence my rating, although I did feel rather lukewarm about the main romance throughout.Pros:Heartwarming story, overallZZ is a crazy cage fighter!Russian mafiaSaga spans yearsConsDorothy is kind of boringHawk feels like he could have been fleshed out more. The fact that he was Russian and went to fancy private schools as a child was mentioned, but his dialogue sounds the same as all the other brothers. Might have been nice to see a little bit of his upbringing in the way he interacts with the world. No one can completely divorce themselves from the way they were brought up, no matter how much they try to...Not enough saucy TeganKami and Cox not having sex? Bummer!Story didn't have as much action as past books. I would've preferred a bang bang ending... but I guess they are all getting older and gang warfare probably doesn't have the same appeal :)We have to wait another year or so for ZZ's book!
