I'm sorry to say I was really disappointed in this book! I loved "No Second Chances", thought it was really well written and hard to put down. It was surprising how different this book was, almost like it was written by a different author. The editing was among the worst I've seen. Almost every sentence had an error and there was no rhyme or reason to the errors. Punctuation, spelling, missing words, you name the error and this book had it. Was there a different editor this time around? Maybe it was released too early and not enough time was given to edit it correctly? I couldn't guess but I sincerely hope more effort is given to any other books by Beverley Hollowed.While reading the first 1/4 of the book I found myself constantly going back to the previous page, needing to make sure I wasn't reading the same page over and over again. The dialog was so similar from page to page that it was hard to recognize when I was moving forward in the book. That got really tedious! How many times do you need to read that Ally loves Cole, she can't live without him and will never be able to tell him "no" or walk away from him before you get it? I don't know about you but I only need to read it once. What's really ironic is that every time I read that the next paragraph would be something along the lines of her telling Cole she "couldn't do this" and needed her own space. Huh??Last but not least, I am SO OVER women (girls?) who start sobbing when anything goes slightly wrong in their lives. Ally wasn't like that in the first book - she was a strong woman who knew herself. She was so different in this book it was like it was about a different character.I'm not going to give up on Beverley Hollowed because I have a feeling there were other factors in play with this book that were possibly outside her control. Still, it was not worth the $3.00 I paid for it
