Review: First half 4 stars- last half 2.5.
Rating: 3 out of 5

This started out great. Stayed that way up to half way through, then faltered a bit, but not much, until the last fourth of the book when it just started tanking for me. I hate when books start to get a "rushed" feeling and that's what started happening at about the half way mark. Then towards the last couple of chapters the dialogue between the 2 leads got all cheesy and corny and silly. All of a sudden Dante didn't sound like Dante anymore. The male lead can fall head-over-heels in love and be romantic at the end of a romance without losing his strong, alpha-male character, but a lot of authors unfortunately turn them to mush and have them talking/behaving in a way that was different from how they were originally. That's what happened with this book, in my opinion. Very disappointing. :/ However that being said, I've already purchased the others in this series because I thought it was going to be great based on the first half of the book. So I will read those with the hope that the author wrote good, solid stories all the way through this time around, from beginning to end.
