★★☆☆☆
Very little to recommend here
I will say that just like every one else, I love the BDB brothers although I haven't loved every book. Phury's story did nothing for me, and the story between Payne and Manny left me cold (although there was so much V, Butch, and Doc Jane that the book was redeemable to me). I will also say that I love the dialogue that Ward writes. Very clever, biting, and engaging. Now having had my little love fest, I have to say that this book has me baffled. I am with every one else who was not a fan of this book. Really??? Tohr should just get over Wellsie and the baby after a year or two? I have no problem with Tohr. Exactly what a brother should be. And I guess I could see hime with someone else just not with NoOne and not the way this played out. She was so vanilla she was invisible to me. NOOO personality. I would expect that if Ward is going to push Tohr into connecting with someone so quickly, it would be someone that gets the blood pumping and engages him with some fiery attitude. He abuses her over and over and she just takes it and says thank you can I have some more please. Ick. He deserves so much better. Where was the bonding scent? Where was the I can't live without you feeling? There wasn't any. Just a casual I'm in love with you. Snore. I think the readers that are in love with this book are just going to like anything JR Ward spews out but I need some consistancy when I fall in love with a series and I think we all deserve better than this misfire. I know that JR Ward has it in her to do better. It's not like she put out one good book and the rest were crap. PLease Please Please bring back the story telling that we all love. I need my escapism.
