I'm going to start by saying that there were some good events in this book that could have produced a very good book. Unfortunately this wasn't it.

I honestly found this a bit of a struggle to get through. The 'voice' of the book just didn't work for me. It was as if events were removed to a distance so I just couldn't connect to either the characters or the story itself.

As others have said there were some problems with the chain of events as well imo.

Joe only knows Carly from letters from his brother but as soon as he sees her he decides that he's in love with her and moves in with her. So, moving in with her the first night they set sight on each other. It's stressed from the beginning that Carly's a strong woman but she just gives in and goes with the flow of Joe taking over her life. I've read many books where this happened and it felt right but this just didn't (due to the 'remove' I mentioned).

I don't know, maybe this should have also been a bit longer and fleshed out to overcome the suddenness some of the many 'co-incidences' It particularly annoyed me that Carly had dumped her baby on a stranger in a shopping centre 10 years before and then she turns up as the widow of one of the other MC members. Um...yeah..... There were a few characters whom I found weren't introduced properly so I was constantly searching the book to find their first 'entrance' (only to find that it still wasn't really explained) so a couple of sentences in the appropriate places wouldn't have hurt.

I'm in two minds about continuing this series (but I will due to a challenge I'm in this year). I'll see how it goes.… (más)
