So first I want to say I was not aware that this was part of a series, if you have not read the series you will be as lost as I was when I started this story. I felt this story was rushed, the author expects us to know who everyone is without any background it just starts out with the heroine complaining about the hero.*Spoilers*By chapter 3, Serena is showing a house when her cousin and his fiancé walk in and start making love, yeh ok not intercourse but darn close, and once everyone walks out well that's why they have counter tops right. Somehow we are introduced to the villain, a prospective buyer who's been following Serena to every open house she had in 3 weeks, but never offers and she isn't concerned until the (hero) Mark says "hey that's odd", and then proceeds to ignore it because Mark was a jerk 10YEARS ago, so I still hate him. Then out of nowhere we go into Karl's horrible childhood of anti-Semitism, and some strange idea of recreating the master race with a "FARM" in Europe where women are breed and it never made any sense.Serena goes to show a house and Karl shows up, and Serena is NOW frightened, but oh no Karl see's that Serena is wearing wait for it ... GLASSES, and her eyes...one is Blue, the other Brown. Karl is so "horrified" that he turns pale, and stumbles away, now Serena is concerned for him, wasn't she just frightened?? So now Serena is not sure what to think but doesn't go home, she ends up at her cousins house where Mark is working on a Gazebo for her cousin's wedding, after some small talk she and Mark have sex, Mark says "who cares if your family knows were involved" Serena responds with "this was a onetime thing" and wow does Mark feel "used". I mean really how old are these people?Then somehow we get into how as a teenager Mark was seduced by older women and his father knew, turns out a lot of people knew and no one did anything. Even Mark didn't care after awhile hell he was paid, and came back even as a young adult to the women, this time without pay. Again horrific events are added without any substance and don't add anything to the story.Serena apparently has been gone for 3 weeks, and returns for her cousins wedding, Oh wait looks who is at the airport Karl, really why is this guy even in this story?!! Now he's brought over the mother of his "perfect" son, and will create his master race here, wherever here is because I don't know the town or state it's never mentioned.She tries to speak with Mark only to be rudely rebuffed. Mark walks out and runs in the Cherry, with whom he had an affair with as a teenager, she breaks down crying saying now 10 years later that it was wrong, Really you just figured that out??!! Mark goes back to speak with Serena and finds she has left, he finds her in his truck they make out and leave. They go to the park talk some more, have sex in the car and plan their future. Really that's about it oh she goes into some detail but really that's about it. Back at the reception, her cousins and new bride, discuss how they got Mark and Serena together, and discuss who is next.I wouldn't bother with any other book in this series (?), I finished it in less than 2hrs.Try Lauren Dane - Chase series, and Petal series.
