Wanted to like this. I really did. Unfortunately I dropped it by chapter 11. It didn't draw me in enough to complete the series. It's definitely a hit or miss series. Might pick it back up in the future if I have time. ( )

4.0 stars

I'm at a loss with this book. I really enjoyed parts of it and others I struggled to follow. I was lost for large portions of this book. I was really confused trying to make sense of it in parts such as Cole and Abri. ( )

I was really looking forward to this but I ended up disappointed.

This whole story felt disjointed. At first, I thought it was just the first few chapters but it continued throughout. I liked the various parts but I didn't think they worked well together. The chemistry between the two was lacking; the timelines were a little off; and some plot points just didn't seem logical. Of course, you have that classic Ella Miles twist in there (where the story takes a turn you've never anticipate) but even that felt underdeveloped.

On the surface, I like both characters. Mila has drive and strives for independence so I enjoy that in my heroines. Ace has that bad boy exterior but sweetheart interior that is irresistible. However, I wasn't impressed by them when it was all said and done; and I think the quick, chemistry-less romance was the reason for that.

I just didn't see the draw between these two besides contention and proximity. It started so promising too because they really had some conflict at the start and I love a good "hate to love you" romance. But the shift from hate to love just didn't work for me.

This isn't my favourite Ella Miles novel and that's a shame because I think all the right ingredients were there.
