Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First let me say that I read "Forbid Me" before I read this book. I liked Forbid Me and we got to see a glimpse into Lucas and Alex's lives. I read the reviews and was on the fence but I figured that I liked Forbid Me and I got to see that Lucas and Alex got their HEA so I figured it would be an ok story...esp knowing they got an HEA. Well, sadly to say I was wrong. I think I loathed this book. **SPOILERS** My biggest problem was the fact that there were detailed sex scenes between the H and multiple other women. Seriously...I don't need to read about him IN DETAIL about being with someone besides the heroine. It was disgusting and I wish someone would have mentioned it in their reviews as I would have avoided the book all together. My second biggest problem was Lucas. I didn't see him as any kind of Hero and I especially didn't see any real love from him to Alex. He claimed to love her but repeatedly hooked up with other women. Then when another male -who wasn't a part of the group - entered Alex's life he did everything he could to hurt her even more. It was clear how Alex felt for him but he couldn't keep it in his pants and commit to her...why? Oh b/c he loved her..yep, thats right...he loved her so he couldn't be with her. Makes complete sense!! Plus, not only did Alex have to witness him being with other women he had a child with one of them! Planned or not it was a huge slap in the face to Alex. Ultimately, the Good Ol' Boys were right...Lucas wasn't good enough for Alex. I think Alex could have been a good character if she was stronger. Yes, she kinda moved on with her life after reaching her breaking point but she all to easily let him back into her life. For goodness sakes, she ends one engagement and end up in another one in just a few months time. Plus she just over looks all the pain he caused and she has to be reminded of it everyday when she looks at the son he fathered with another woman. Ultimately, this book left me with a sick feeling in my stomach. I wish poetic justice would have been served and Alex would have ended up with Cole - however, after reviewing some of this authors other books she doesn't seem to place any sanctity on marriage (other books are blatantly about cheating husbands/wives) more than likely Alex and Lucas would have had an affair. I probably would have hated the characters more if that happened.
