I definitely enjoyed the book. I read it today and plan on listening to it this weekend as well. I wouldn't rate this book as high as {Tourist Season by Brynne Weaver} but it was still good. It for sure felt like a middle book of a trilogy and things were being set up for the final book. Not as much action happened, and we got to delve into Harper and Nolan's relationship.

I was so surprised we got Sheriff Yates/La Plume's POV in a few chapters, and it took me a little bit to realize what he was doing. My stress level went up with each chapter of his I read as I had my suspicions about what he was doing. Then everything came to fruition in the final chapters and I was gutted!

I'm not mad at Harper for thinking the worst of Nolan, but I am so sad she believed what Yates had led her to think. With her now planning on killing Nolan I wonder how much of the next book will be that? I really don't want them to be broken up for very long, and hope Nolan can get through to Harper that he didn't do the things she thinks he did.

I thought the cliff hanger from the first book was bad, but this one is even worse! I don't know how I'm going to wait a year or so until the next one comes out.

Edit: I’ve now had time to think on it more and I’ve decided I am mad at Harper. She immediately believed Nolan was the one trying to hurt her, when all he had done was proclaim his love. Her reasoning that the best way to get back at her was by breaking her heart made no sense.

It would have been one thing if Nolan didn’t know she wasn’t the real Harper Starling who was driving the car that injured him and killed his brother. But he knew she was Autumn, so why would he feel the need to trick her into loving him, and then turn around and rip that all away? He knew she didn’t do anything wrong.

I just don’t see why Harper would think Nolan turned on her like that.

I got an email from Romance Audiobookworms and the event is similar to the stuff your e-reader day. It’s May 8-9, and it looks like they even denote if things are single, dual, or duet narrated.

I’m not affiliated with them in any way and just wanted to share what they sent me!

I'm on my third book, {No Rest for the Wicked by Kresley Cole}, in the series and am already noticing a pattern of the FMC fighting the fated mate/Bride fact and the drama that ensues from it. I've liked the first two books so far, but worry they will all follow that pattern and I'll get burned out if I read them in a row. Would you recommend reading other books in between them?

I went through that when I read the {Dark Series by Christine Feehan} and many of the early books followed a formula of the FMC fighting the fact that they were fated to the MMC. I'm getting flashbacks of that with the IAD series already, but don't want to give up on it since I've seen such good things about them.

Also I've noticed KU doesn't have some of the titles available, so do you think I'll miss out by not reading them? I don't really want to buy a couple of books in the series if I'm not going to love it and plan on rereading it. Please no big spoilers about future books since I'm still early on in the series.
