Review: Better than the first 2 books

I felt that a case was made for Lydia to love Jeremy, but I never - in all three books - felt the connection with Mike/Matt. There was no relationship development, just sex. This made me question what was it about Mike/Matt that Lydia found so lovable. I liked family and friends in the story, but I felt that something was off about most of it. It just didn't seem to ring true. If I knew my daughter had been humiliated and needed to heal, I certainly would have tried to talk to her about moving to a far-away land and dealing with it all alone. I know a lot of 84 year old women and none of them is even close to being as sex-crazed as Grandma. And what was it with Lydia's attraction to Alex and Jeremy's attraction to his mother? This was all getting way too weird, and it never went anywhere, so why add it to the story? Overall, I felt that this could have been one, at most 2 books. There was so much that could have been said once, or not at all and the story would have been better for it.I didn't like books 1 and 2 as not much happened and Ms Kent referenced situations with pop culture that I didn't get. I suppose if you know your pop culture, you'd find her banter entertaining. I found it tedious. She continues the practice in book 3 which was annoying. I also find her dialogues hard to follow and have to go back to try to figure out who's saying what. I guess her target audience is 18 yr. olds, and since I don't fit that demographic, I won't be reading more of her work.I gave this book 3 stars because it was okay, but just okay. If you want a GREAT menage book, read "Rule of Three." That book is a stand alone that is believable, loving, and HOT. Much better than this series.
