MY INITIAL THOUGHTSI was definitely looking forward to this next installment, I don't really read all that much chick-lit but I am really enjoying this series. In fact I really feel like getting ahold of Adam and giving him a good shake! Mooning over a "dead girl" who he truly doesn't know whilst overlooking the fantastic female Jada who is right under his nose. I d have an inkling before starting this book that Kelly's baby daddy may turn out to be someone else rather than Adam but we'll see.MY REVIEWI was generously given an e-copy by the lovely Faith Sullivan in exchange for my honest review.So the cover shows a couple getting ready for a romantic looking kiss . . but who are they? Well that depends on where about's you are in the book! It could be Adam & Katie, Brian & Kelly, Brian & Jada, Adam & Jada the options!! I do like the simplistic style cover as it shows the couple which it lets you know there is a romance element to the book and the title and author fonts etc fit perfectly with the rest of the series covers so far.So we left at the very ending of the last book with Adam meeting the girl he has been dreaming of "his Katie" and she's right there . . .and she's . . alive!Well its quite a complicated plot, it turns out Kelly has been "playing" quite a lot of the characters in this book but not totally realising that she herself is being played by her boss, the real father of her baby maybe? Or could it really be from that one night stand with Adam? Then again it could just as easily be Brian's as they have been in a sexually active relationship for some time now?I want to mention that this book is quite a bit steamier than the other but in my opinion there's still plenty of story in the story vs steam content of the plot/book. I really don't mind a bit of steam and spice as long as it is within a plot and within reason and believability for the characters.So Adam's mystery girl has been alive all along? And Katie does have an over protective over bearing father. Katie is also Kelly's cousin! A coincidence? Kelly seems set on pushing Adam and Katie together even when it is clear he has turned up to their wedding with Jada as his plus one!So everything's set for the wedding. . . . . the bride and groom are at the altar, the best man,Adam by his brother Brian's side . . .Jada watching from afar after arguing and walking away from Adam . . . the romantic moment arrives and Brian turns to Kelly . . . .and . . . . they don't get married!In fact Jada and Brian team up to find out why Adam is obsessed with Katie, and what Kelly and her boss have to do with the strange goings on. Adam is still having nightmares and Katie had been dreaming of Adam . . . its as if somehow someone has got into their brains? . . but how? and why?So the pace of this book was one that kept going there was always something happening to one of the what I would say were the four main characters, Adam, Brian, Kelly and Katie.To find out what on earth has being going on you'll need to read the book. I did enjoy the book and learned to like the other characters from the boasting, kind of brash brothers Brian and Adam who seem to have a constant one upmanship contest going on. Whom at time I seriously felt like punching on behalf of the lovely females in the book, Jada, who feels drawn to both brothers but knows deep in her heart which one she truly loves. Then there's the timid Katie who eventually throughout the book learns to stand up and literally make the other character listen to her and her opinion. Of course there's also Kelly, Katie's conniving cousin who just seems to wrap everyone around her little finger and come out on top no matter what she has done or been part of. So who gets a happy ever after? Does anyone truly get what they want or deserve?Near to the end, before the "6 months later chapter there is a steamy chapter, was it necessary? Yes but I personally would have preferred certain parts to be left to the imagination. Don't get me wrong I am not a prude but I found the explicit language and certain body part references somewhat of a turn off. Afterwards looking back to the book I would have rather missed reading that chapter altogether. I did love the 6 months after etc chapters and I think everyone ended up with who they were truly meant to be with. I also liked how the whole death of the Katie Turner look alike was wrapped up too. You'll understand these comments more when you have read the book for yourselves.So did I enjoy the book? Yes I did even though I felt a little confused at first with the dream/nightmare theories, and then I wanted to shake the brothers until their teeth rattled! Would I recommend the book? Yes, it's a must read if you've already read the other two you need to know what happens next. Would I read another book in the series? Mmm If there is to be one yes! Would I read other books by Faith Sullivan? I already have and intend to read more of course!
