After reading 'The Boarding School Experiment' and ' Whenever' I was all ready to read about bad boy Rhys. I was completely taken by the brilliant scientist with trailer park instincts and honor. I completely enjoyed the boy who really just enjoyed blowing things up. Instead of reading about the boy who blazed his own path and did what he wanted, what he felt was right. I ended up with a preppy little stuffed shirt who did what he was told. I can't think of a worst way Emily could have castrated Rhys. Making him respectable completely changed my attraction to him. I don't see why he couldn't have been the senators son and his own person. The character change was inexcusable. Making the build of Rhys in the other stories unnecessary. The story itself was only okay and I really wished she could've gotten outside perspective before she wrote this. Trust me, Emily I am a fan, and I will continue to buy your books. But I can't stand that you created such a great complicated character like Rhys and completely emasculated him.A much better story would have included a theme of Kaitlin's goodness and charm softening Rhys's heart. because he was a man full of distrust and disappointment.  Maybe even one that pulls them together because of the side effects of the drugs. It talked about him needing to around her in 'The Boarding School Experiment'. Something Emily never really addressed. Overall I couldn't enjoy the book like I really wanted because of the change in Rhys. Sad really, because it really could've been a good sequel.
