Caught Up is the third installment in the "Windy City" series and this is Kai and Miller's book. This was a book that I had the most excitement for this year. The premise of this story had me so excited and I loved the first two books, they were some of the most perfect romances I have ever had the pleasure to read. And after seeing all the positive ratings, I had high expectations that this would be such a hit for me.
I am very sad to say that this is one of the worst books that I have read this year. And honestly, if it hadn't been Liz Tomforde writing this book, I would have DNF'd this book. I really tried to stay open minded with this one here but this one was very hard to enjoy. My struggle came with the heroine here. She was so challenging and I couldn't get to the point where I could remotely enjoy this one. I practically forced myself to read this book, hoping that it would improve and I would see some fraction of character growth but I never really saw it. I did not like Miller at all. She was difficult and quite frankly a bit of a harpy at times. She was continually pushing Kai away and almost putting him down emotionally because he wasn't as carefree as she thought he should be. She was always trying to change him. The personality of the heroine was so aggravating. She just had a very annoying personality and seemed to be mocking Kai over everything he seemed to say. Kai was an okay hero but the overpowering character of Miller overpowered any kind of personality we could have seen from Kai. The only redeeming qualities in this story were the moments when Max was involved.This story has completely lost any excitement I could have on future books from this author and I will be waiting on reviews for future books before picking them up.
Caught up had a beautiful premise but the execution wasn't done very well. Unfortunately this book didn't work for me and am a bit baffled by all the five star ratings if I am being honest. But hopefully the next book will be more like the first two books will strong character growth, likeable characters and a better execution.
