I devoured this audiobook. It was a quick read, plus it was just pure fun. I really enjoyed Aria's character. I loved that she knew what she wanted, didn't have any shame, and did whatever she needed to in order to get what she wanted. I don't have any complaints about this book and I'll probably end up buying the series. The narrators are fantastic as well--I've grown to really enjoy listening to them through the series.

While I didn't get a chance to listen to the first book in the series, after books 2 and 3, I've come to realize they're a little formulaic. The couple has conflict (because every good romance does), but they get together despite that. There's a subplot to add some danger and more conflict. Then, at the end, the antagonists make their move, fail, and end up dead. I'm curious to see if Craving My Rival will also follow this pattern. I don't hate it--it makes things predictable, which some people find comfortable and prefer.

This series is one I didn't realize I would be devouring with such enthusiasm, but I can't stop listening to the audiobooks. This one is also narrated perfectly and I loved the way they brought Aria and Gabriele to life. I liked the little age gap between them and the conflicting emotions Gabriele had to deal with as a result of Aria's attraction to him. They ended up being my favorite couple so far...
