Review: On the fence with this book.
Rating: 3 out of 5

I was really looking for Dorothy, Hawk, and Jase's story unfortunately I was kind of disappointed in this book. I have loved all of Madeline Sheehan's Undeniable series but this one really didn't live up to her other books in the series and I'll explain why I feel that way.First my big issue was the fact that you didn't get the chance to relive any of Dorothy's past with Jase in enough detail to get the feeling that yes the love between them is all consuming. You really just have to believe that based on the little snippets you received on them in the past books.Second issue was I didn't really feel the love between Hawk and Dorothy the way I would have liked. Yes there were scenes between the two of them and you got to read their thoughts of the love they feel for each other but you didn't get anything really to show what lead up to them being as strongly in love as they are. I'm not saying that you didn't get any past memories told there are a few but I just couldn't buy into their love story.I'm stuck on the fence about what Hawk had to go through near the end. I felt like it was really just thrown in to the story to give it a little more angst whereas I would have much rather experience a true happily ever after for Hawk and Dorothy..Now there are many positives regarding this story too so don't let my negative remarks make the decision for you as this is just my opinion.The characters themselves were great, strong, leads and I enjoyed them as individuals I just had an issue with the relationship aspect of the story.Hawk is a pure sweetheart under all that bad boy appeal he has. I enjoyed the scene between him and Christopher right before he went away. For a strong man like Hawk to let his emotions go like that really touches my heart.Jase I really felt for in this story. He really had lost everything and I didn't like that he seemed so broken even though I pretty much knew that is the way things were going to go for him. The scene between Jase and Dorothy at the club was full of emotion and I felt that scene. I wanted to cry for the both of them and that is the kind of connection I like to experience when getting lost in a really good book.When Jase cried and asked Dorothy to please don't leave him again I felt like my heart was breaking. It was really something during that part.Dorothy I really liked. She was a lot stronger than I gave her credit for in the other books. I was pleased to see that she finally did what she felt was right for her and let go of the things that weren't good for her life or her son.All in all I gave the book a 3 stars for the simple fact I felt it really lacking in certain areas I think are important to a love story. Will I continue to follow this series??? Yes, Absolutely and I recommend the undeniable series to anyone else who enjoy MC books. Madeline Sheehan is one of my favorite authors for MC plot line. :)
