This series really really surprises me!

Like, it somehow manages to be not what I expect every time. Usually, when there is a series of contemporaries featuring the same couple, the series is dragged into this never-ending stream of relationship drama. And there is some of this, for sure, but this book focused more on Chloe's career, the chaos of marrying a superstar, and a horrific kidnapping case.

Now, I was really surprised, and really impressed, with the direction this book took, even as I was less impressed with the relationship drama. Mostly because I didn't get it. Chloe and Jason talk about their issues, they put it out there in a coherent way, and yet still somehow conversations that didn't seem like arguments at all are described as such, and there is anger that felt to me like it came out of nowhere.

I was also a little sad that we didn't get to see more happy times for them. Give us more scenes of them just enjoying their marriage so we'll feel it's all worth it, because marrying Jason comes with a LOT OF SHIT from famous exs to fangirls and paparazzi.

BTW, don't enter this series for sexy times. There aren't any. This is not a bad thing - it's simply not the focus of their series at ALL.
