I was really excited about this book... it sounded like it would be something I would really enjoy. But for some reason, it fell sort of flat for me. I think the pacing was off and while I really did like Bane and Meara, something about Ryan just didn't sit right with me. I like that she was a fierce, independent woman who stood up for herself and what she wanted. But I didn't love her for some reason. And as much as I enjoy romance, I think I'm falling out of love with the instalove. Fated love is one thing, but this was just straight up instalove without much character development to let the reader be on the same page. Overall it wasn't a bad read and I did enjoy it for the most part, but I'm not sure I'll continue the series.
