Loved the first 2 books of this series. Was concerned about this one, as we know going in the heroine was an abused girl who continues to make bad choices, choosing to stay with a total loser who draws her into an awful life. But the first 2 books were so good I tried it anyway. I still don't get why she wouldn't let her sister help her? I mean, c'mon, sister who is a lawyer with a wealthy husband...that says safety net to me, not run, run, as fast as you can.But, I read it. My main complaint is that the tone is completely different from the light, sexy, positiveness of the first two books. I like a series to feel consistent. If I enjoyed the first books, I want more of that. While the writing was fine technically, this is the most depressing books I've read in a while. The hero is a cage fighter with a load of guilt on his soul. Which means for penance he ends up in a dirty Louisiana swamp bar.  He's looking out for the heroine. and believe me, she needs help, as she is set firmly on self-destruct.She's a bar maid in said swamp bar, which means she has to put with crap from all the swamp land lowlifes, apparently all of whom are filthy and sweaty and mean. Seriously. Are there no nice people in this book?? I worked in a few bars in college, and most people aren't that bad. They just want to drink and have a good time, instead of molesting bar maids and calling them horrible names.And that's all before we even meet the villain...
