Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

**Spoilers Ahoy!!*** First, Jasinda Wilder will always be one of those authors who will push the envelope, and chuck the rule book on romance writing out the window. I admire that but more often than not, it can either be a hit or miss with most readers. And this series was big miss for me. (Except for book one, which I adored!) After the second book, I was really interested how the author can redeem both Eden and Cade. What they did was horrendous and I felt that it would take some series case of groveling from Cade and Eden to make me buy an HEA for this couple. So I was definitely looking forward to 560+ of groveling. Sadly, it didn't happen. I wish the author had stuck to the darker themes of book two. Instead she gave us a Disney-type HEA where everything was just shove under a pretty, little rug. Where's the indignation? The big blow up? The comeuppance? I got nothing. I'm all for forgiving and forgetting but seriously, 8 days?? The betrayal was too huge to be resolved in just 8 days. Heck, 8 years would probably be more believable. I don't object to reading about characters who cheat, after all men and women do that but I mean, come on. Ever's reaction to the whole scenario was unbelievable. Was this supposed to be based in real life? No woman in real life could process the whole betrayal in 8 days. I don't care if you're a saint, you cannot tell me that's normal in any circumstances. Unless that woman is stupid that is. Ever's character wasn't stupid. She was hurt when her old boyfriend cheated on her and here comes her husband who had an affair with her twin and she was practically begging him to accept her forgiveness? It was so out of character it wasn't even funny. What happened? Cade was useless. I'm not going to call him a hero because a hero, he definitely is not. He was a weakling. Ever had to do all the work. And if Ever hadn't woken up, I would think he would still be with Eden. Man up! If you're so desperately attracted to your wife's sister, pull the plug on your wife and by all means have at it. But no!! He's so in love with his wife that he cheated on her. He couldn't justify it. He didn't even grovel. He just stayed there and let Ever and Eden made the decision for him. Not a hero. And as much as I love Carter, I don't think his story with Eden should have been told...yet. I wasn't in a hurry to give Eden her HEA. She can have that but not in this book. Cade and Ever should have dealt with the affair and the child in a more realistic manner. I didn't care about Eden's story. Maybe if it had been another book but here? Nope. Giving away her child didn't redeem her character. It reeked of condescension especially in light of Ever's hysterectomy. It was more out of pity. Poor kid. I didn't buy the whole, "I couldn't connect with my kid" thing. It's called postpartum depression and basically treatable. It's insulting, again, for Eden's character to treat it in such a cavalier manner. "Hey, I can't connect with you. Let me give you to my twin who doesn't have her uterus anymore." I mean, who does that? I don't want to read people like that in my romance novels. I'm all for suspending reality but it felt too contrived. The whole hysterectomy thing bothered me as well. Poor Ever. Her husband got her twin pregnant, something that she couldn't give him. Which is why the whole accepting and forgiving in just eight days was just ridiculous and unrealistic. During the epilogue, they were all lovey-dovey, a one big happy family and I just can't suspend my disbelief enough to buy that. Now if the epilogue would have consisted of Ever and Cade in a therapist office, that I can probably believe. But this? Sorry. Not buying it.
