I was torn- I wanted to read it and finish it and I didn't.
I'm not a huge fan of Nick being VP. Just going to say that out loud and now he is locked into it for how ever long this term lasts. As always, I loved Nick and Sam together and how Ms. Force brings them along slowly in each book, adding layers to their sweet and very sexy marriage. I adore Scotty and his role in their sweet family.

My only gripe (?) was the whole Avery/Shelby relationship and how it was handled. I wasn't aware of the depth of their relationship and I wish the reader had been in on that development like we were with Gonzo/Christine and Freddie/Elin. I really wanted the details and the progress of Avery and Shelby's relationship. I hope we get more in the upcoming books.
