I'm sitting here wondering what on earth made me think this was a trilogy...I've just finished this third installment only to find there is yet ONE MORE installment to come.  Gads...I'm wondering when this book will reach its end.  Will it ever end??  How much longer will this wait go on for each installment to be published?  And yet I sit here like a putz...chomping at the bit waiting.  Ms. Chase, you've got us right where you want us.  Addicted.  And shame on me for biting.  Three times!Ah Issy....no matter the prior arrangement or agreement to stay with Lucas (on a trial basis for one month and then go their separate ways)...no matter how much she tries not to want him, the fact is Issy is falling for Lucas.  Yet she is still constantly trying to put distance between herself and Lucas. Still, it's not long before she just gives up because she begins to feel such a strong and powerful connection to Lucas.  She begins to feel at home with him.  Being with Lucas feels so right to her and she cannot imagine moving on.  She cannot imagine being with anyone else.  She knows him so well.For all those reasons, I found it out of character for Issy to abandon Lucas in the end.  I found it odd that Issy...this intelligent and strong woman... would believe what a total stranger - - (a sinister looking stranger at that).. would spew about Lucas.  A man she has gotten to know and understand so well...and she believed this stranger over Lucas??  That's simply completely out of character for Issy.  Just like it's out of character for Angel to believe a picture of her boyfriend (Chad) and Issy in bed together when Angel and Issy are life long friends who are more like sisters than friends.  And Angel doubts both Issy and her boyfriends' word??  I don't think so...  But hey, it makes for good entertainment.This story has so much potential...all three installments are told in first person from Issy's POV.  This third installment basically is all about Issy and Lucas working through their trial arrangement and a few personal issues, while the boys band (Chad, Travis, Ethan and Scott) gets off its feet with the financial and promotional help of Lucas.  It's about all the ups and downs of a new relationship...learning to trust etc.  The story floats happily along, with the day in and day out issues that life deals a working girl falling in love, without any big major upset... until the final two chapters.  Then we have a bit of drama leading us into the fourth installment.And so we wait...
