Having read and very much enjoyed the previous two books in this series, I was looking forward to this one.  It was good.  I enjoyed it.  But the first one was my favorite, closely followed by the second.  While this one tied up the loose ends from the first two, the characters were annoying to me.  I wanted to shake them and say "Stop hiding what you are feeling.  Deal with it.  Be honest."  And not just about their attraction to each other but more about what had happened in their past and their decisions to not deal with it.  Mari lies to everyone about what she can remember after the accident and about her feelings about it.  She takes pride in her ability to move past it when she has only suppressed her feelings.  Jase, on the other hand, remains guilt-ridden and has practiced avoidance for years to the point that he has separated himself from his family.  The whole scenario was frustrating but at least it was finally worked out by the end of the book.
