So, I'm hovering between 3.5 and 4 stars right now.  I consider the first two books in the same range in that I liked them but didn't love them.  I've never been a Scarlett fan though this book made me like her a little better.  I always liked Ash's character but I just never really connected with him.  Nor did I ever really connect with he and Scarlett's romance.  Mase and Max saved this series for me.  I loved Mason's flaws and Max's sweetness.This book picks up exactly where the second one left off.  Scarlett is with Mason, trying to help him after his overdose and still trying to convince Ash that her heart belongs only to him.  The way Scarlett supported Mase through his treatment and really became his friend is what made me start liking her.  She really is a good person and wants to help those around her.  (Still annoying at times though)Realizing that she needs to focus on Ash, the two of them move to California so he can go to school.  Mase is recovering nicely from his overdose and with the help of his therapist is quite successful on his road to self discovery and healing.  It broke my heart when he realizes that he has to let Scarlett go because he wants her to be happy.And then... BAM!  Total curveball.  I won't spoil anything but let's just say that I totally didn't see the book ending the way it did.  And here is where a lot of my problems with the book come in... I felt like the end was rushed.  I wanted more of the guy who Scarlett ends up with and his reaction to knowing they will finally have their HEA.  I felt like I should have ugly cried and yet, I didn't.  I was overwhelming sad for the guy she doesn't wind up with but no crying.  Damn it, I really tried to cry.This book parallels a few others and honestly, the other books did a much better job of grabbing my emotions and making me feel for the characters.  I don't mean this to be harsh because I did actually like this series, it's just not my favorite.I still recommend this to anyone who enjoys love triangles and hot guys!  Mase, Ash and Max certainly have that area covered.  And I'd love to read a story about Max and Andi because I do enjoy the author's writing.
