I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. There were things that I wasn't too happy about, like all the back and forth between Reaper (Kade) and Abby. It eventually began to play like a broken record, one minute they loved each other, the next minute they weren't talking. I wanted them to be together so much because it shows that even though he is bad for her - they could make it work. But there was so much that I loved and so much that annoyed me about this book. I'm going to break it all down for you...
Abby Harrison; I really liked her character in the beginning I thought that she was sweet and that she was going to fall for the "bad guy" and that things were going to be rough. But that was all an understatement. When it comes to Abby she is a little bi-polar I feel like one minute she was in love with Kade and the next minute she didn't know what she wanted with him, because he looked at her the wrong way or something. I love how she was when she was with him, but with Drake it was different, I didn't like how you knew that she was just using him to avoid her feelings of being hurt and grieving from Kade. I feel like as special as losing her virginity to Kade was supposed to be, after she slept with him - that she kind of just became a hoe. Just because when things didn't go her way, she tended to kiss random boys, or sleep with random men, and I don't really like how that happened. It kind of did make her look like a club house whore. I understand that she was upset, but sleeping with a million people doesn't make less problems, it makes more. She is quick to jump to conclusions - and she is terrible at hearing people out, when she's mad or upset, and I think that she of all people would understand that to all the boys that she lives with the club will always come first, anything that Roach tells them they will do in a heartbeat - it's their family and it's their unspoken law.
Kim Harrison; in the beginning I was very confused with Kim, I didn't like her she was snobby nose brat who was used to getting what she wanted and I wasn't sure why she acted that way. I was annoyed with her in the beginning of the book and I didn't care for her much. But once they moved to Aunty Amanda's house, I was shocked to learn that she had become a goody-goody and was in university and what not. But it seems that as soon as Kim and Abby went back to the club house they were quick to go back to their old ways, Kim and Trigger as well - with no regrets, and without even holding onto a sliver or who they were back at Aunty Amanda's. I just feel as though neither Abby or Kim hadn't learned anything as they continue to do everything they did prior to the move without growing up - or without learning anything from their previous experiences.
Kade (Reaper); he's kind of a dick, I understand why and I know that he has a reputation and he doesn't know how to feel and that he isn't used to having a weakness and what not. But I just think he's so wishy-washy had I been Abby I would've bounced after the hundredth time he didn't know what he wanted. Reaper is definitely someone who is stuck between a rock and a hard place, and I think a lot of guys could relate to that, just because most of them don't think they're good for a girl - so they bounce, but they return because they miss them and it's just a big back and forth kind of game. I do understand why he would think that he was no good for Abby it makes complete sense, but once a girl usually says that she doesn't care how bad you are and that they love you and accept you, it's time that you accept that, and just be happy with that person.
There were a lot of things that I loved about this book - like the plot and the storyline, but I think that most of the situations that were going on could've been dragged out a little longer, instead of a rush in the story. I loved how much went on, but I felt like so much of it was rushed that you kind of get reader's whip lash because you're trying to remember the last ten things that happened in the last two chapters (I am totally over exaggerating but still it felt like that sometimes). I really did enjoy this book though it was a good read and it only took me three days which is an accomplishment when it comes to having two kids and a whole house to take care of. So I would say that was an accomplishment. I enjoyed it, but I hope that in the second books things slow down just a little bit because this book moved a little too fast for my liking.
