The first book in this series was the best.  It had me hooked and I invested my time in the series.  I was anxious for subsequent books and more Jack and Kate!For me, book two fell flat and did not live up to the writing and story in the first.  I found Kate annoying and the story lackluster.  It was an entire book mostly centered around Jack's health after his reunion with Kate.  I was a bit disappointed.The final book, My Life With Kate, was by far the most boring and least engaging of all the books. There were times when I actually thought that there is no way this is the same person who wrote the first book.  I even went back and checked!  It just seemed very different to what I read in the first and not in a good way.  I would expect subsequent books to have the same quality, if not better. It took me days to power through the book.  I skipped sections repeatedly.  It felt as though it was a running commentary of their day to day mundane activities (i.e., shopping, dining, working, etc.).  I kept waiting for something to happen but it never did.  I adored Jack, as I did in the other books.  Kate annoyed me, yet again.  The money issue was tiresome and Kate's actions were contradictory.  The best way to describe Kate was a girl trying to fill a woman's shoes.  I kept waiting for her to grow into herself despite her age but she fell short of MY expectations.  I understand she was very young but she needed to grow as a woman, professional, etc.  I was rooting for her!  There was a HEA :)  I was glad for that.  This book, like the second, was lacking FOR ME.  I wanted it to evoke something from me...I wanted to feel more than I did.  I want to be engaged.  I just felt bored and was glad when it ended :(
