Review: Mason and Summer

I read the previous Fall For Me books and while it is true that you don't need to read them to follow this books, it helps with character development for some of the background characters.I liked reading Mason and Summer's story almost as much as Griffin and Ally' s (His Kiss/More His Kiss).  Mason and Griffin are very similar so that is probably a factor.  Mason plays hockey, gets into fights, is always with a different girl in order to get his mind off the one he loves but doesn't think he can have, but also can't help but be protective of her and say yes to whatever she asks for.  Maybe he isn't totally the kind of guy a girl should want in real life but he will do for the fantasy book world.Initially I wasn't so sure about reading this book because of the whole step brother thing but it was fine. Their folks were married for less than a year and they really only leaned on the sibling title as an excuse to avoid their true feelings.  A little weird, yes, but not gross.I have mixed feelings about the writing.  On one hand, I had difficulty putting my Kindle down because I was so wrapped up in Mason and Summer's story and there were so many moments that either made  my heart soar or plummet.  On the other hand, too much of the writing is like a retell of past events instead of being in the moment.  And during those retell moments there is a definite hyper, caffeine-high, million words a minute tone.  The good outweighed the bad though.  It was worth reading.
