I have mixed feelings about this book. I loved the first book in the series and could not wait until this one came out.  When I saw today that it was out, I bought and read it.THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERSWhat I loved.  I still love Declan a lot. He is very much in love with Raven, the h, and acts like it.  He puts her first and I can't help but love his possessiveness towards her.  Despite ample opportunities due to his rock start status and good looks, there are no OW for him, in thoughts or deeds.  Despite them always trying, they are not even on his radar.  I loved that the book had a HEA.  I really liked Finn too. Raven's best friend and potential OM.  He was a good friend despite it not being reciprocated.Talking about not being a good friend, I did not like Raven in this book.  I thought that she treated Finn poorly.  She used him to attempt to get over Declan and he gave her 100% support including going with her out of the country for a summer job. He took care of her and  attempted to fill the days they were off from work with fun things to do, to distract her from her pain and make good memories for her of their trip.  She thought Declan was with OW and threw herself at Finn when he was in the shower.  We are told that Finn loved her and if so, that was a crappy thing to do when she only had lukewarm romantic feelings for him. Even though he had strong feelings for her,  Finn turned her down because he knew that she was not over Declan. She was self centered and that showed in how she behaved including her interactions with Finn. Another thing that bothered me about Raven is that she cried and whined.....and she cried and whined...and she cried.....alot.I felt like there were too many characters in this book.  For me, there were too many friends to keep track of.  I could not keep them straight and I read the first book.  In summary, I loved Declan, Finn and the HEA but disliked Raven and the large number of characters.. A
