So I gave it three stars. First I gave it a star because it's the bossy brothers. Then I gave it another star because I do like the couple. The third star was because well it can be coming back because I wanted to finish the damn book.

The book would have been perfect if there was a little bit more fluidity to it and less details. We get lost in the details. There's so much details that you start to get confused on to where certain details fit into what.

By chapter 7 I wanted to hang it up and say forget it I'm not going to read this. I wish there was more clarity into what kind of book it is. It seemed like he had a history or experience as being a Navy seal of some sorts, but they don't talk about that. They don't talk about where he gets his experience killing I should say, but it just goes on and on and on. It makes him seem like a cleaner. And if you've read enough mob books you know where the cleaner is.

And the fluidity of Megan's story is kind of distorted. That's the best word I can come up with distorted. And nothing flows together. I know I keep on hanging up on this flowing together thing but that's a good story. A story that flows into each other, flows into each chapter, flows into each character. There is none of that here. If that's what you're looking for do not read this book.

If you want matter of fact and over detailed listings then sure this book's pretty good at that. And I'm not trying to be a bitch. For lack of a better word. I just didn't like the book.

I guess that last star was brought up because there are a few moments throughout the book that I actually enjoyed. And if they had just made it a little bit more fluid, than the whole book would have been awesome. There is a scene with dolphins, and that was amazing. There is a scene at the beach when they're alone together and that was amazing. There are different parts of the book that were amazing however they just didn't make sense.

They really need it to make the scenes blend better. Because honestly I'm still confused. I get that the woman was his mother. I get that the father was sitting there as well. I get that they went and spent time with the Dumas family however that one right there was confusing too.

When Megan's talking she says that they're leaving the next day but when Johnny is talking they say that they've been there for 3 days. Now when Megan said that they were leaving the next day, she was talking that they landed in the Keys and stayed for 24 hours. But with Johnny it's a different story. Does that make sense to you guys? That's what I mean by not being fluid. The details are there but they're all so mixed up and there's so many of them. They could have just easily with the details cut them down to half size. It's like they were trying to make a page quota or something.

But like I said I enjoyed parts of the story, and I enjoyed the couple, and I enjoyed the fact that they got out at the end. But honestly the rest of it was just noise.

Would I recommend this book to anyone else? I suppose so. Because if you're like me and have OCD and you start a series you want to finish the series, then yes read this book. But if you can survive without reading Johnny story I say skip it. But again I can what's the word that I'm looking for, appreciate how hard an author works on their book. So therefore I say read it. And then share with me what you thought of the book. Keep in mind those details. Because I'm telling you there are so many details. I still am unclear about what this book is about if it's about espionage, society, I mean actually I suppose it is a secret society but still. I'm just still confused. And hopefully we don't have to deal with it during the wedding. Well weddings. Enjoy the review folks I know it's not my best but I tried to explain why I didn't like the book. And that's what a review is about right?

I will say this though, I wish I knew what book the other people were reading. I'm thinking that maybe I'm missing something here? Who knows. ( )

Johnny

I don’t even know what to say about this book. What a ride! I love Johnny and Megan. Johnny is not who we thought he would be, he is so much more. So many twists and turns and lots of questions answered. I am loving this series and looking forward to more. ( )

This author and her diabolical mind...

It doesn't seem to matter what this author writes it always comes full circle and leaves me gobsmacked. Her mind frightens me but also leaves me spellbound. Somehow stories from years ago that had foundations and secrets so intricately bound reappear as if they were always part of the story. That is mind boggling. Even more so, considering that when those books are completed there is never a secret unanswered. So, I posit, how does she manage to do it? Hence, my reference to her mind being diabolical.

I liked the first stories, but this one? Yeah, this one left my mind retracing everything that I have read from this author. This one created a domino effect as I slowly watched everything fall in to place. Even though I know she will still shock me and leave me with my mouth agape ( diabolical mind here that could seriously take over the world) it somehow is taking on new meaning. It's almost like watching the television show, Lost, for the third time and learning something new each time I watch it (and I do discover something I missed EVERY time I rewatch that series that makes me question how I missed it the first time). I digress...

Johnny, surprised me. He was dangerous in certain ways. He had to be. However, he truly was a romantic, almost gentleman in others. Megan, while appearing innocent and sheltered, was just as dangerous. They shouldn't have worked. BUT they did.

I look forward to where this series goes next. I'm sure it will again leave me gobsmacked. Well done to this author for taking me on this journey. ( )
