Review: Mixed Feelings
Rating: 3 out of 5

3 -3 1/2 stars.  I have mixed feelings about this book.  I feel almost like it was 3 separate books put together into one story.  I was slightly disappointed when it took almost 100 pages(27% of the book) for the male lead to even show up.  I get that it was important for Grey's back story to show what she went through, but I felt it took too big a chunk out of the whole story.  I really enjoyed the middle portion of the story with the build up of the relationship.  I had to put the book down to actually return to my life, and when I continued it was like I was reading a different story.  The time line jumped suddenly, and I thought the plot moved much quicker than before.  I really enjoyed the hero Dawson.  Great alpha male lead.  I liked Grey, but was not crazy about her.  I know this is "new adult", and I guess I could be considered "old adult".  I have read books with younger characters, and enjoyed them.  I felt Grey acted immature most a lot of the time--well maybe not immature, but her age.  I was torn between wanting to shake some sense into her, and trying to adopt her and bake her cookies.  I enjoyed the writing style, and would read more from this author.
