There are several things about this novel that turned me off. I'm not a fan of Insta-love and I got that with this book. Mark is anti-commitment, but after his brief time with Crystal (Angel) after just meeting her-he's turned off to all other women. He was loose in the sheets and then poof, no more. Next-he was an alpha, kinky male. This was discussed, yet this never came through "in action" while with Crystal. And finally, I wanted to see some fight on both Crystal and Mark's part-prior to the end of the novel. Instead they (especially Mark) had the turn-your-back technique with little to no effort made. Besides all of the above, the novel was a quick, cute read. We get reacquainted with couples from previous installments along with meeting new individuals that I'm sure will be the lead characters in future installments. I enjoy Sydney's books and hope in future installments there's more angst, adventure and personality within the characters. I found myself predicting what was to happen and I prefer to not be able to do this while reading.
