Review: Not what I expected
Rating: 3 out of 5

I bought book one and two months ago but I refused to read them until book three was out. So here we are. I am so tired of women being portrayed as weak and naive. I thought this trilogy would rise above that cliche. I got so irritated with Jeni so many times that I was ready to toss this book. Jeni takes naveté to a whole other level. I kept skipping pages to get to the part where she finally grows a pair and stands up for herself. I also kept hoping that Alistair would get hit by a bus but well...let's just say we got justice in the end. The story was great but the execution could have been better. There were so many mistakes and the dialogue often made me roll my eyes it was so bad. Every time Jeni said he touched me 'down there' I wanted to scream. This is an adult book so can we not refer to our privates as 'down there' while everything else is said using grownup words? But in the end I spent money on all three books so I was determined to finish them. There were good parts that made me laugh and parts that made me cry, some times in frustration at Jeni. But in the end they got their happily ever after so all is well.
