I give this book a 3.5 star rating... & Here is why...
Ok so everyone knows I am a die hard Jenn Foor fan! I think I have purchased every book she has ever published, the second it was released... so for me to have only given a 3.5 star rating is not only a shocker to me, but it breaks my heart! :(
I thought this book was a good (not great, not fantastic) second in the series! After reading book 1 - Repair me, I was super eager to see where this would go! I LOVED BOOK 1!! Although, for me, this book did not meet my expectations....
I thought Lacey was a big time whiner, the girl really needed to grow up. Reading her parts was sometimes painful & I felt like I was reading the same thing over & over again! I feel she put Joey through unnecessary crap! If the truth be told, I really felt he should have walked away from her childish, cheating ass! I mean really, who has closure sex? I guess that is the good part about being a writer, you can make these characters do whatever you want!
As for Shayne, I am glad he realized he could never be more than just friends with Lacey, she did not deserve him anyway! Although mentioning Shayne, since this book was suppose to be Lacey & Shayne's story, why not let him realize he fell in love with Ashley earlier in the story? Why not expand on Shayne & Ashley in this book? What about Megan? What is the point of bringing her into the story? I can only assume later we will find out... But I am still trying to figure out the point of her in all of this.
I guess instead of this book being Lacey & Shayne's story, it should be thought of as just Lacey's.. I mean it bounces back & forth between the two of them, so I would have thought it would have given us some closure on both! Yeah, it kinda does since she fell hard for Joey & he fell hard for Ashley, but, I did not see it happening this way!
Next issue with this book would be - the sex scenes... I love a good erotica novel, don't get my wrong, but there were parts of this story I felt went beyond erotica and fell straight into grotesque. It was almost as bad as watching a terrible porn!
Lastly, at times I was totally lost due to the missing words, shortened sentences and grammatical errors. I felt the author was just in a hurry to release this book! After some revisions, I think this book could be amazing!
Note to Jenn Foor... - If you would like a beta reader or editor, who is dedicated to helping you grow and not hinder you, let me know! I will gladly make notations and help with spelling errors, grammar checks and make sure that the readers getting your book will not be able to complain about these items! I Love Your Work & am truly disappointed in this one! This will not stop me from getting EVERY book you release, but I pray this is not a downward spiral!
Either way - If you have read the first book in this series and have any interest in continuing to follow "Kin Series", my suggestion is to read this & be patient!
If you have not read the first book in this series and have interest, here is the link in order to get it! This book is well worth the time to read and it will suck you in and leaving you desperate for more!
