Here we go.įirst, the book was super dated with all the Hannah Montana references ALL THE TIME. Now that I have had a day away, the book is still awful. But the writing was terrible, some of the stories included were completely pointless and irrelevant (FILLER!!), and this was way too long and repetitive. The premise is so intriguing, and the idea of 'unplugging' is so wonderful in this day where we seem to have to rely on technology for so many things. This is one of the worst books I have ever read. I can't decide where to start: with the author and her five year old's conversation about hair on Mommy's vagina, or the author's descriptive imagery of her taking a pregnancy test. ![]() ![]() I received this as an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ![]() ![]() And Bryn's vowed that nothing will stand in her way, not even a forbidden romance with her boss, Ridley Dresden.īut her plans are put on hold when fallen hero Konstantin starts acting dangerously.

Tyler doesn’t seem like a well formed character. If I had started with this book, I wouldn’t have read any further. I’ve read other books by Simone that were really good. ![]() It was not edgy, it did not depict any real conflict on Tyler’s part, and it didn’t even deliver a particularly good romance. OPINION: This book disappointed me on all levels. THE STORY: Tyler Bell is a priest who has his world changed when Poppy Danforth comes into his confessional one day. ![]() I didn’t find any connection between these characters. The “priest” in this book knows nothing about being a priest and never acts the part at any part in this book. FINAL DECISION: Shock content but very shallow. ![]() ![]() ![]() I loved the dedication and extreme love between Kate and her men, without it being cliche or too lovey-dovey and the narration really exuded that emotion and portrayal. A couple moments I had to pause because it just hit me right in the feels. The emotion that was in this finale was spectacular. In terms of the narration, this was just as spot on as the others.

I love this series so much, definitely going to be at or above Kit Davenport in my top 10 RH series. I sped read through it because of how we were left in book 3.
