Review: 2-5 stars! I am all over the place with this review!
Rating: 3 out of 5

I love Pamela Ann's Chaising series and also a fan of her Torn series although I wasn't happy with the last book in that one.  I felt like I wanted to share that because when I read a review, it helps me to know if the reviewer is a true fan or not since I do feel that Indie authors often get too good of reviews from their friends and family to help them. And, of course I get that but I have read some books that I wished I hadn't. So, having said that, the best way for me to rate this is to break it apart and give different star ratings.5 stars for Angst! OMG, if you need/like lots of angst, drama in your story, this is for you!5 stars for love story....it's a first love story which I'm a sucker for!5 stars for Greyson! He's right up there with Blake for me from the Chaising series. However, I do indeed wished he was older. The fact that these kids are 18 seems unbelievable to me. However, they are filthy rich so I guess it's possible.2 stars for Olivia...ugh, she made me crazy. She is not nice and so back and forth with her feelings. I re-read a few sections as I couldn't figure out why she was so mean to Greyson. I am hoping there is a more detailed explanation of this in the next book. The reasons I read just seemed ridiculous. Now, again, they are only 18 so maybe it's the whole teen angst.3 stars for the plot....Olivia comes to live with her Mom in the states from Australia where her dad lives. She's going to finish out her senior year and then return to Australia and move in with her boyfriend. Liam actually suggested they take a break and them he flies across the world-literally-for 24 hours to see her once she text him that she has feelings for someone else. Ok, I guess I can buy that. Her and Greyson were first loves since 3rd grade but have this hate relationship now. Again why? I need more info on that. These two meet at parties and a weekend trip which was one of the best scenes between them...loved it. But, there's not much else in the plot. Olivia's Mom doesn't say much in the story and that's odd for me since she was so desperate to have her come and live with her and they are very close.Then, even after Olivia and Greyson start to figure things out, she is still planning on returning to Australia. What?1 or 5 star for the ending....it's a major cliffhanger! Now. I fully realize some readers don't mind or like this....if that's you, it's a 5 star ending. I'm not one if them so for me it's a 1 star ending. So, that's why I did purchase this book when it launched at the special price but refused to read it until I knew the next book was on its way. That's my new strategy since so many authors are doing this now. I wait for reviews now to see if it's a cliffhanger.If you heave not read this author before, there is super strong language and erotic sex scenes. If you are a diehard Pamela Ann fan, you will probably like this overall.I will read the next book because I am hoping for Greyson to get his happy ending but I am also hoping we get more of an understanding as to Olivia's actions.
