been a Hot Minute since i read this book, but overall i remember being kind of disappointed in it compared to the other books by gregory ashe :/ i did like it, but i wanted it to be just...more. just more everything, really. i feel like, compared to hazard and john, north and shaw didnt get as much depth for their characters and story. i did love them, but i just feel like they could have been so much more. and...idk, i think shaws virginity being a center point for who he was made me think it was going to be a much bigger deal than it was, because it just...it seemed like that plot-point fizzled out? im not really sure how to explain it, but it just didnt come across as it having as much meaning on as there should have been. i did like the end though, where he gives norths husband what he deserves, like i wish shaw was like that more through the series as a whole.
