I loved the first book. And I am so tired of so many people who don’t seem to get the purpose/point of what the author was saying. The fact that people think it “romanticized” abuse makes it obvious they did not get the point of the book at all. But anyway, that’s my own pet peeve, and I know that everyone has their own opinion and way that the book they read hits them I guess. Now, I actually started listening to this back in November of last year. But I had audiobooks for review tours I had signed up for, and audiobooks for the Gateway committee I’m on, so it got put to the side and I only put it back on when I was in between books or having problems getting into a current book. But I did love this as well. I liked the way the ending was, how things were solved. While it may not be completely realistic, or at least how things go most of the time, it is a way that would be nice if things could actually happen. And it’s fiction, right? We want the HEA and we want the fantasy, I mean unless we’re reading Stephen King, or Nicholas Sparks, lol.
