I enjoyed the first couple of chapters of this book, but things went downhill pretty quickly after that.  That's due mainly because there is a ton of repetition in this book.  From sex scenes (the book is front loaded with them...they do taper off in the later chapters, but there's still a lot!), to dialogue (it was repetitive, flat and insincere), to cliches.  Some other specific shortcomings including:Story/Plot:  There just didn't seem to be one.  If the author's intent was to write a piece of steamy m/m erotica then she should have taken premise and run with it.  Her attempt to layer in a story of substance between her (admittedly) well written intimate scenes fell flat.  There's nothing moving this story along (or to compel the reader to stick with it) other than the need to string more words together.  The situation she's placed her main characters in are addressed so breezily that they don't leave any lasting impact.Character Development:  There's virtually none.  The author attempts to unveil the main characters' backstory little-by-little throughout the book.  The problem with this approach is that by the time the author begins this, the MCs have had so much sex it's sort of beside the point.  There's also nothing interesting about Jay or Coop, and if there is it gets such cursory treatment (and is never explored too in depth) that you forget about it a minute after you read it.On the bright side, the price is quite attractive.  Also, regardless of what some others have stated, the plot of the book is so shallow you really don't need to have read any of the other books in this series to keep up with what's going on.  Despite that I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
