Nadz@Totally Addicted to Reading
Written on Jan 17, 2016
When I began this series I never expected to become so invested in it. By the end of the first book, I was chomping at the bit to read the remainder of the series. By the end of the second book my impatience had grown exponentially. I was eager for more of Holly and Creighton's story. Dirty Together could not get into my hands fast enough.
This is the final book in the Dirty Billionaire trilogy. It picks up from where the second book left off. Based on this I would strongly advise that you start the series from the beginning. Failure to do so will leave discombobulated.
In this installment, we see Holly returning to her roots. This is after she ran from Creighton for the second time. Returning home was a last ditch effort to find herself. She believed that she would not be able to function in Creighton's world with her past hanging over her head. She feared that he would not be able to accept her past. However, what she failed to see was that Creighton's love for her was unconditional. He understands what she needs. He is not willing to let her go as such he drops everything and goes after her.
I was happy to see Holly finally coming to her senses. She recognises that running away does not solve problems. She needs to face them head on. When you recognise what's important you will put all your efforts into preserving it. This is what Holly did for her marriage. My respect for her grew a notch right there and then.
There were aspects of the story that I felt was overdone. The author threw in a twist near to the end of the story, which surprised me. It made it clear why Creighton's uncle treated him with such disregard. However, the fact that he blames Creighton was plain stupid. Personally, I did not believe that it added anything to the story. The point at which it was added made it feel like it was an afterthought on the part of the author. The issue surrounding Creighton's company was wrapped too quickly, leaving us with a lot of unanswered questions.
Then there was the issue with Creighton's ex-wife, Annika. This was glossed over, leaving me with even more questions.
I gave this installment a 3.5-star rating. It would have been more if it were not for the issues mentioned above. That being said, even though Dirty Together did not live up to my expectations, I still enjoyed the moments spent in Holly's and Creighton's world.
