I had two issues with this book though. The first is that, I often felt I was reading a redone version of Hot and Badgered. It made it feel a bit predictable. Keeley, Gemma and Keran are very similar to Charlie, Max and Stevie in temperament. I mean, the plots were different in many ways, but it mainly felt like Charlie, Max and Stevie were transplanted to a different world. On the other hand I loved Charlie, Max and Stevie so it wasn't a huge issue, just a noticeable one.
The second issue I had though - and was the same issue I had with Hot and Badgered, was the language. At one point the c*** word is used and I hate that word so utterly much. It's so unnecessary - it adds nothing and jolts me out of my enjoyment of the narrative.
Beyond that, this story was really good. Although I'm not sure it's as good as some of her other books. I loved the humour, G.A. Aiken is a master of witty dialogue and quick banter. I loved Keeley and Caid - their relationship was sweet and enjoyable. They just made sense. There was no unnecessary drama just a plain romance that moved along at a decent pace with swoon worthy moments. I can't wait to read Gemma and Quinn's story - I'm sure it will be just as insane and adorable.
Overall 3.5 stars. It was really good but it was just not quite as good as some of her other books and it loses one star for the language.
